About this Mod
Silence
A lightweight Fabric mod for Minecraft that allows players to silence noisy entities using renamed Name Tags.
Features
- Simple Silencing: Stop any entity from making noise by interacting with it using a specifically named Name Tag.
- Visual Feedback: Silenced entities that didn't previously have a custom name will be renamed to "Silenced" (with their name tag visible) to indicate they are muted.
- Prevent Redundancy: Provides on-screen feedback if you try to silence an entity that is already silent.
How to Use
- Obtain a Name Tag.
- Use an Anvil to rename the Name Tag to one of the following (case-insensitive):
silencesilentsilence_mesilence me
- Right-click the entity you wish to silence with the renamed Name Tag.
The entity will no longer produce sounds, making it perfect for loud farm animals or villagers near your base!

Silence server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Silence officially supports fabric for Minecraft 26.1, 1.21.11. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Silence – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Silence consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
