Silence Mobs
by derexXD
Silence Mobs lets a named nametag switch a mob's sound off, and removing the silence works the same way with the same tag.
What it does
Renaming a mob with a nametag set to the silence trigger name stops its sounds, and renaming it back restores them. The mob keeps its custom name and its other behavior, and the nametag is used up once applied. The mod is aimed at survival players and farm builders who want to cut down on mob noise, such as in villager breeders. It runs on Fabric for 1.16 – 26.3 and is also offered as a plugin for Paper, Spigot, Bukkit and Purpur servers. The code is under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Nametag silencing
A nametag with the trigger name applied to a mob mutes its sounds while the mob keeps its name.
Reversible toggle
Renaming a silenced mob with the same nametag brings its sounds back, so the change can be undone.
Plugin build
A plugin version is offered for Paper, Spigot, Bukkit and Purpur, so server owners can use it without a Fabric setup.

What the author says
Reduce your mob noise in farms, villager breeders, and more! Lightweight plugin, and simple. Use a nametag named silence on any mob to silence them, and vice versa! Their existing name will not be changed, allowing this to keep any other behavior the mob had.
