Player Death

I understand this is the Entity death event and a player respawn event, but I don't see how I can get the name of the killer and the victim.

 

You'll have to capture that in the EntityDamageEvent.

 

So do I even need the Entity Death Event?

 

no, because what you will do in the EntityDamageEvent is get the attacker and then get the player who got attacked. then you will check to see if the players health minus the event.getDamage is less than 0 (death), if it is less that 0 then do whatever, I take it you are trying to keep track of player kills?

PHP:

public void onEntityDamage(EntityDamageEvent event){
    if(event instanceof EntityDamageByEntityEvent){
            EntityDamageByEntityEvent act = (EntityDamageByEntityEvent)event;
            Entity attacker = act.getDamager();
            if(attacker instanceof HumanEntity){
                HumanEntity cause = (HumanEntity)attacker;
                if(act.getEntity() instanceof HumanEntity){
                    HumanEntity play = (HumanEntity)act.getEntity();
                    if(play instanceof Player){
                        Player player = (Player)play;
                        if(player.getHealth()-act.getDamage()<0){
                            //Do whatever, the player is dead
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
