Shriekier Shriekers
by OpenBagTwo
Shriekier Shriekers changes how sculk shriekers respond to vibrations, so that non-player signals such as redstone and mob movement can set them off.
What it does
Sculk shriekers normally react only to vibrations from players. With this mod installed, the shriekers also react to redstone-triggered signals and to non-player vibrations, which lets builders use them as sensors for machines and mob activity. The mod adds a loud motion detector for mobs, and notifications that sound when a redstone process starts or completes. Synthetic shrieks can apply the darkness effect to players within range, and naturally spawning shriekers can summon mobs when the summon option is enabled.
The mod is a server-side addition built on Fabric API. It is published for Fabric and Quilt and covers 24 release versions 1.20 – 26.3, with snapshot builds also published. Its options are set through ModMenu or in the shriekier shriekers.yaml file in the instance's config folder, and both behaviors default to false. The license is the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, and the mod is open source, so it can be redistributed and included in modpacks as long as the terms are kept.

What the author says
Patches sculk shriekers so that they react to redstone-triggered signals In the early snapshots for Minecraft 1.19, sculk shriekers could be activated by redstone. Once the version actually released, however, not only could shriekers only be triggered by sensors, but sensors that were triggered by any "unnatural"…
