Villager Death Messages

Villagers, especially named villagers, should have death messages.

I can't even tell you how many times I've lost a maxed out villager to raids or mobs without even knowing that he died which leads to me wasting time looking for him, eventually coming to the realization that he's dead. For un-named villagers it should just show something like: Local Butcher was slain by Zombie.

 

All named entities should have death messages IMO but villagers NEED to have them!

    I think it would be funny, if the death messages called the villagers by set numbers, like element animation.

    @... this should only be applied to unnamed villagers. If named, the death message should show the nametag name.

    But yes, all villagers already have a randomly generated unique number (ID) ingame, so it could as well be a "Villager #X" and then that would display if an unnamed villager dies.

    I would even take this a step further to actually have all non-nametagged villagers having a default name shown above their head when summoned/spawned/bred. This would also make it easier for players to distinguish between the diffrent villagers before one gets ahold of nametags to rename them.

    Only named villagers, though. Massacres could fill a multiplayer server

    Would spam the chat.
    Maybe *just maybe* nametagged villagers

    I wholeheartedly agree. Me and BFF enjoys building villages together and we often have villagers disappearing without us knowing why so this would be extremely helpful!! It's such a important feature that should be added!!

    Maybe only named villagers or villagers who have been traded with would show, because you don't want everyone on your world to know what you did to the local nitwit.

    That would be really helpful, but when you are out doing something and one died, how would the game let you know?

    Yes, but it should say what variant of village they come from, so you know where the villager died. Also, you should be able to turn this of with /gamerule doVillagerDeathMessages false

    YES sometimes I think a villager has died when it's just stuck in a hole

    This could be another opportunity to finally add names for villages; the death message should also include the villager's home village to avoid confusion. Something like # from village # was slain by #
