Silent Mobs/Minecarts
by o-Peepo
Silent Mobs/Minecarts lets a name tag mute the sounds of a mob or minecart, and it reverses the effect when the tag is renamed.
What it does
Renaming a mob or minecart to the word silent turns off its noise, and renaming it to something else restores the sound. The same effect applies to hopper, TNT, chest and command-block minecarts, and to anvils when they are renamed. Installing it takes only the mod file in the mods folder, while a data pack version is also offered for servers that prefer that route. The server must run the mod, while players may leave it out.
Key features
Silent mobs
A name tag reading silent stops the sounds a mob would otherwise make.
Silent minecarts
Hopper, TNT, chest and command-block minecarts can be muted the same way by renaming them.
Reversible renaming
Renaming a silenced mob or minecart to another name brings its sounds back.
