Bad Wither No Cookie - Reloaded

Bad Wither No Cookie - Reloaded!

As of 26.3 (NeoForge), the mod runs on the server again as well as on the client.

Fabric Versions (1.21.1 and older) REQUIRE FABRIC API & CLOTH CONFIG

A lightweight mod to silence these nasty world wide broadcast sounds:

• Wither spawn and death
• Ender Dragon death
• Thunder
• Wandering trader and trader llama ambient sounds
• and any other sound, from Minecraft or any mod, that you add to the config

On a server, the server stops sending the chosen sounds to its players. Players do not need the mod for that, and vanilla clients can join. The mod can also be installed on a client by itself.

Features

Book of Silence

Craft a Book surrounded by 8 wool of any color to get a Book of Silence. Put it on headwear (helmets, mob heads, carved pumpkins) at an anvil. While it is worn on the head, the wearer hears no mob or entity sounds and no hostile, neutral, weather or ambient sounds. Blocks, music, jukebox records and the interface stay audible.

To silence other sounds for everyone, ops can use /bwncr silenceUs add <sound_event>. /bwncr listen shows the names of the sounds you hear.

Mob books

Craft a Book of Silence together with a mob's drop to get a book that silences only that mob, for example gunpowder for creepers, mutton for sheep, porkchop for pigs, bone for skeletons and ender pearl for endermen. There are 88 mob books. Where several mobs share a drop or a mob has no drop, a related item is used so every recipe is unique; the full list is in the README. Apply them at an anvil. Several mob books, the environment books and the general Silence can go on the same helmet.

The books only change what the wearer hears. Other players still hear the mob.

Environment books

The same recipe, a Book of Silence plus one item, gives a book that silences one kind of block or environment: stepping on, breaking, placing, hitting and falling on it, doors, chests, water, lava, rain and more. For example stone, dirt or gravel, sand, planks or logs, wool, glass, an iron block, a water bucket, a lava bucket, a door, a chest, a note block, obsidian for portals, a campfire, a beacon and coal for cave ambience. There are 37 of them, and every block, ambient and weather sound in the game belongs to at least one. The groups: Stone, Deepslate, Dirt and Gravel, Mud, Sand, Grass, Leaves, Plants and Crops, Wood, Wool, Glass, Metal, Copper, Nether, Amethyst, Froglight, Coral, Resin, Snow, Slime and Honey, Cobweb, Sculk, Trial Chambers, Water, Lava, Rain and Weather, Doors and Gates, Buttons and Pressure Plates, Redstone, Chests and Barrels, Note Blocks and Bells, Portals, Fire, Furnaces and Campfires, Beacons, Workstations, Cave Ambience.

The full ingredient table is in the README. Silverfish, husk, donkey and sheep books now use infested stone, cut sandstone, a golden carrot and mutton, so the obvious blocks go to the environment books.

Silence All

Put the Book of Silence in the middle and surround it with 8 diamonds. Worn on the head, the Silence All enchantment silences every sound for the wearer: blocks, music, records, weather and the interface. A player without the mod still hears what the client plays by itself (music, the interface, footsteps and block sounds of their own actions, records); with the mod installed nothing is heard.

Operator commands

Ops (permission level 2) and the console can use /bwncr (full name /bad_wither_no_cookie_reloaded) to silence things for every player on the server:

• /bwncr show shows every current value
• /bwncr <option> <true|false> and /bwncr toggle <option> set or flip silenceWither, silenceTrader, silenceDragon, silenceLightning, silenceExplosion and debugMode
• /bwncr all <true|false> sets all five silence toggles at once
• /bwncr silenceUs add|remove|clear edits the extra sound list
• /bwncr listen shows the name of every sound sent to you, and /bwncr listen mute <sound> adds one to the list

Every change is saved to the config file and takes effect immediately.

Config

• config file bwncr-common.toml, with a config screen in the mod list
• the Wither, Ender Dragon, thunder and trader sounds are silenced by default, each with its own toggle
• silenceExplosion (off by default) silences explosion sounds: the explosion bang, primed TNT and primed creeper hissing, and wind charge bursts
• console output for silenced sounds is off by default (debugMode)
• an example config, bad_wither_no_cookie_reloaded.example.cf, is included for reference only; the mod does not read it

Limitations

Thunder and the Ender Dragon's wing flaps and growls are played by the client itself, so the server cannot remove them. A client with the mod silences them; a vanilla client still hears them.
