Boowomp Harvesting Fail

by func_octo

Boowomp Harvesting Fail plays a boowomp sound whenever a player breaks a block with the wrong tool, so nearby players can hear the mistake.

ForgeClient required, server optionalCreative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.01.19.2 – 1.20.1

What it does

The mod's only purpose is to play a boowomp sound effect when a block is broken with a tool that cannot drop it. The sound plays at the position of the broken block, so players within earshot of that spot hear it, not only the one who made the mistake. Installing the mod on a server is recommended, since the sound is then heard by everyone nearby.

Only the client needs the mod to make the sound, while the server can run without it. The sound file can be replaced through a resource pack, and the sound event is registered with a subtitle that defaults to Boowomp, so the path and file name can be changed to a custom sound. Builds cover 1.19.2 – 1.20.1 on Forge, with 1.1.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest file, first published on 2025-03-01. The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license and is not open source.

The mod is published for Forge only, with builds for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, and 1.1.0 is the latest file for 1.20.1.

What the author says

This mod's only purpose is to play the boowomp sound effect whenever you break a block with the wrong tool and do not get the drop from it. It is NOT required on the server and will work if it installed on only the client; however, installing the mod on the server is recommended as it will play the sound in the world…
