TheHandOKill
by ZoXDizzer_
TheHandOKill is a client-side NeoForge mod that plays a space-erasing sound when a mob dies to a single hit.
What it does
When a player defeats a mob with one blow at full health, the mod plays a sound taken from the anime series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. The audio is meant to give clean kills a punchier feel in combat, and it adds no items, blocks or recipes to the game. Players can switch the effect on or off through its configuration file.
Only the client needs the mod, so single-player and multiplayer players install it on their own game and servers do not have to run it. It is a small mod built on basic events, and the author reports that it works alongside most other mods. Files are for NeoForge on Minecraft 1.21.1, and the mod ships as a single jar placed in the mods folder.
The mod is released under the All rights reserved license and is not open source, so the code stays with its author, ZoXDizzer_. It was first published and last updated on 2026-05-16, and the single NeoForge file currently available is version 1.0.0.
Key features
Single-hit sound effect
A space-erasing sound plays when a mob at full health is killed with one hit.
Configurable behavior
A configuration file lets players adjust how the effect behaves in their game.
No added content
The mod does not add items, blocks or recipes, so it changes only the sound a kill makes.
Low impact on other mods
The mod reads basic game events, which the author notes keeps it compatible with most other installed mods.

How it compares
Hit Marker is a client-side mod for Fabric and NeoForge with files for 1.21.1 – 26.2, released under All rights reserved and not open source, so it covers a wider range of loaders and versions. SmiteMod runs on both client and server, is for NeoForge 1.21.8 only and is released under the MIT License. Player Only Mob Loot is server-side only, for NeoForge 1.21.1, and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so it changes drops rather than sound.
