+As of 2024-08-17, this mod will probably not be updated by me as I lost interest
+in Minetest a long time ago and probably will not be coming back.
+
+If you do want to make any changes, here was my list of TODO items that I never got around to:
+- Update meta stuff (readme, version, mod.conf, etc.)
+- Change settings file to not use do_file and add options for custom messages (with placement of player name(s) anywhere in the message)
+- Add some kind of translation support (may be covered by custom messages)
+- Use the new API features to poperly detect types of death that weren't feasible before
+- Make a small API for registering custom messages for other mods (see dying by corium in technic)
