What it does

A death sound is triggered when a player dies, and a separate wither spawning sound can be played as well. Sound volume reaches 500 blocks, and server operators can set whether the sound is heard across the whole world or only nearby through commands. The server runs it, and only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, for game versions 1.21 – 1.21.11, under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Player death sound

    When a player dies, the wither death sound is played, giving the death an audible signal.

  2. Wither spawning sound

    An additional sound plays when the Wither is summoned, matching the death effect.

  3. Global sound commands

    Commands let the server choose whether the sound is heard within 500 blocks or across the whole world.
