About this Mod

This mod is a small mod that adds a little detail from Minecraft: Story Mode. When a mob dies, it will play a poof sound when the cloud of smoke appears from the mob.

To turn down the volume of the sound, use the config file to change it. Do note that you will need a mod such as Configured in order to edit the config file in game.
(Or Ambient/Environment sound slider on versions x.2 and below.)

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Poof Sounds consumes the most tick time.
