Shutdown
by Doenergepard
Shutdown plays the Windows shutdown sound whenever a mob or other entity dies on a Forge server.
What it does
Each time an entity dies, the server plays the Windows shutdown sound, so the effect is a joke on the death event rather than a gameplay change. The mod is server-side only: players join without installing it, and clients need nothing. Builds exist for Forge 1.20.1, with 1.1.0 as the latest file, published on 2025-05-24 under the MIT License. The code is not open source, but an issue tracker is public for reports.
