Sonic Break
by niclan051
Sonic Break changes how the Warden's sonic boom interacts with blocks, so the attack can break blocks in its path.
What it does
When a Warden fires its sonic boom, the blast can destroy blocks along its line. How far from the Warden the effect reaches depends on the distance, and the blast is split into three bands: near the Warden the boom affects blocks, while blocks in the middle band and at the far end are immune. Installing the mod changes only what the boom does to terrain, so the rest of the Warden's behavior stays as in vanilla.
Fabric API is required. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it and only the server needs the jar. The code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which places it in the public domain, and the source code and issue tracker are publicly linked. Files cover Minecraft 1.21 – 1.21.11, with 1.2.1 for 1.21.11 as the latest Fabric build, released 2026-02-08.
Key features
Warden boom breaks blocks
The sonic boom fired by a Warden destroys blocks it passes through, so terrain along the attack line can be cleared.
Near-range breaking
Blocks within the first 7 blocks of the Warden are not immune, so the closest terrain is exposed to the blast.
Immune middle band
Between 7 and 12 blocks from the Warden, blocks resist the boom and remain in place.
Immune far end
Beyond 12 blocks, the boom no longer breaks anything, so distant structures are unaffected.
Fixed distance values
The distance thresholds are hard-coded in the mod, so server owners cannot adjust the three bands through a config file.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners and players who want Warden sonic booms to damage terrain. Because the mod is server-side only, a single server install is enough for every player who joins.
How it compares
Toggleable Sonic Boom is a Fabric and Forge mod for 1.19.4, released under All rights reserved, where either side can run it and neither needs it. Amethyst Corruption and Echo Horn are both MIT License mods for 1.21.3 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, where the server must run them while players may leave them out. Warden Tweaks is also server-side only, but runs on Fabric alone for 1.21.4 – 26.2 under All rights reserved.
