Silence

A Name Tag renamed to the word Silence, matched without regard to case, marks a mob or animal as silenced once it is used on that entity. A silenced entity keeps its name tag label visible, so a player can tell at a glance which animals or villagers are muted. Entities that are already silent are not affected a second time, and the player gets on-screen feedback in that case.

The mod is a lightweight Fabric addition for Minecraft that suits farms and bases where loud animals or villagers sit close to the living area. Its wording also points to quiet play, though the mechanic applies only to the entities a player chooses. Since Silence runs on the server alone, players join without installing anything, and the change reaches every client through the server.
