Override File System
DeathPlus uses an override workflow designed for real admins and real live servers:

• Base YAML files stay readable and commented
• In-game changes are written to override files
• Overrides are loaded after the base files and take priority

Override files:

• death-messages-overrides.yml
• death-spectate-overrides.yml

If you ever want to roll back in-game changes, remove the relevant override file and reload the plugin.

Recommended Companion Setup

• DeathPlus only
  Great if you want powerful death messages and a cinematic smart kill-cam system.
• DeathPlus + Dead Body
  Recommended if you want the full physical + cinematic death package: lootable corpses plus smart corpse-aware death spectating.
• DeathPlus + Duckshot
  Recommended for servers with custom firearms or weapon systems.
• DeathPlus + VehicleMC
  Recommended for vehicle-heavy combat servers that need proper run-over attribution.

Final Notes
DeathPlus was built for servers that want death to feel important.
Instead of a generic respawn flow, you get a full death experience layer:

• clear and customizable death messaging
• rich contextual kill attribution
• a cinematic smart kill-cam
• corpse-aware companion support
• practical in-game editing tools
