verticalOffset	Var<Double>	0.0	Vertical offset from the death location, in blocks.
rotationMode	CorpseRotationMode	RANDOM	How the corpse is rotated.
pose	CorpsePose	LYING	Body pose. Only used by the plain player model; model backends pose themselves. CorpsePose (1) Field Type Default Description pose EntityPose — —
playDeathAnimation	Var<Boolean>	true	Play an animation when the corpse appears. Model backends only.
deathAnimationName	Var<String>	death	Animation to play on spawn, by name, on BetterModel / BTC Mob NPC / MythicMobs NPC models.
loopDeathAnimation	Var<Boolean>	true	Loop the animation for as long as the corpse exists. Leave off for a one-shot death animation.
deathAnimationSpeed	Var<Double>	1.0	Playback speed of the animation.
interactionWidth	Double	1.0	Width of the clickable box, in blocks.
interactionHeight	Double	1.0	Height of the clickable box, in blocks.

overrideDuration	Var<Int>	0	Seconds before corpses of this type expire. Overrides the global setting when above 0.
worlds	List<String>	empty	Worlds this definition applies to. Empty = every world. Takes the same entries as the world lists of the global settings: a world name, a dimension key, or a pattern such as 'dungeon_*'. This picks the look of a corpse; whether a death leaves a corpse at all is decided by the global settings.
priority	Int	0	Highest priority wins when several definitions match the death location.

How to use it

A definition describes how a corpse looks. You can create several and let the world and priority decide which one is used.

• definitionRef is the model. Leave it empty for the plain player model wearing the victim's skin; pose only applies to that plain model.
• displayName uses {player} for the owner's name. showDisplayName turns the floating name off.
• rotationMode: RANDOM, FACE_KILLER (the direction opposite to where the player was looking) or FACE_FORWARD (the direction the player was facing).
• The death animation fields (playDeathAnimation, deathAnimationName, loopDeathAnimation, deathAnimationSpeed) only apply to model backends that support named animations (BetterModel, BTC Mob NPC, MythicMobs NPC).
• interactionWidth, interactionHeight and interactionOffset size the invisible box that players click. Enlarge it for a big model.
• worlds limits the definition to some worlds (empty = all); when several match, the highest priority wins. overrideDuration above 0 replaces the global duration for corpses of this definition.
