Run RCON commands on player death.

[holy-elbow]

Enhancement Type

A completely new feature

Describe the enhancement

add a variable to run rcon commands on player death: been trying to get a bash script to work, but struggling with a lack of familiarity with rcon and detecting minecraft events.

should add I have tried both using tail -f for latest.log to search for player death but the variation in death messages makes this unreliable. I had more success with a scoreboard object that tracks deathCount, running commands and then resetting the scoreboard back to 0. My problem is I cannot figure out how to get this to work with a persistent rcon connection, or by checking the scoreboard without an rcon call. This results in spamming the logs with constant rcon messages. Any help would be appreciated!

I don't think that capability should be implemented as part of the image. As you pointed out, Minecraft doesn't have a way to hook into arbitrary events externally. This image basically preps the data directory and then kicks off the Minecraft server process. In case you're wondering, the player connected/disconnected handling is basically faked by having a loop query the status endpoint for player counts.

Implementing as a plugin would be much better IMHO. Or if you don't want to develop that, then something that reads the container logs via docker API would be next best.
