Attract to Chat - Mob Attraction By Chat Messages

Turn player messages into sounds that Minecraft mobs can hear and investigate.

Minecraft 1.20.1 · Java 17 · Server-side with optional client installation
The Fabric version requires Fabric API 0.92.7 or newer.

◈ Messages Become Sound

Attract to Chat makes Minecraft mobs react to player messages.

Send a message and nearby mobs may hear it, travel toward the location where it was sent and investigate the area. Writing in CAPS or using exclamation marks makes the message louder, allowing it to reach mobs from farther away and making them react faster.

◈ More Than Just Danger

Tired of struggling to move villagers with boats and minecarts?

Use chat to call them toward farms, bases, villages or trading halls.

You can also use messages to:

• lure hostile mobs away from another player;
• create distractions while escaping;
• turn multiplayer chat into a stealth mechanic;
• make survival and horror servers more intense;
• attract supported creatures from other mods;
• punish players who cannot stop shouting.

◈ Mobs Still Act Like Mobs

Attract to Chat works alongside Minecraft's existing AI instead of replacing it.

• Fighting mobs keep their real targets.
• Villagers prioritize escaping zombies.
• Sleeping villagers can wake after hearing loud messages.
• Flying, aquatic and jumping mobs use compatible movement.
• Invalid or unreachable destinations are ignored.
• Investigations end when a more important behavior takes priority.

◈ Features

• Configurable hearing range
• Louder CAPS and exclamation marks
• Vanilla and modded mob support
• Villager attraction
• Player ignore rules
• Troll Mode
• Optional Vocal Fatigue
• Optional Anti-Spam
• Built-in and custom presets
• Live in-game configuration
• Command autocomplete
• Optional investigation-path particles

◈ Troll Mode

Troll Mode allows admins to secretly make selected players much more attractive to mobs.

Affected players can be heard from farther away, trigger faster reactions and face more aggressive pursuit without changing the experience for everyone else on the server.

◈ Server-Side Friendly

Install Attract to Chat on a Forge or Fabric 1.20.1 server and players can join without installing the mod themselves.

Installing it on the client is optional and unlocks personal investigation-path particle controls:

/atc client particles enable
/atc client particles disable

Particles are disabled by default.

◈ Installation

Requirements
Minecraft Java Edition 1.20.1 · Java 17

Forge Installation

Download the Forge 1.20.1 version and place its JAR inside the server's mods folder.

Fabric Installation

Download the Fabric 1.20.1 version and Fabric API 0.92.7 or newer, then place both JARs inside the server's mods folder.

Start the Server

Restart the server after installing the required files. Once it finishes loading, use /atc help to view the available commands and confirm that Attract to Chat is active.

Client Installation — Optional

Players can join without installing Attract to Chat. Install it on the client only to unlock personal investigation-path particle controls.

The client and server must use the same mod loader. Fabric clients also require Fabric API.
