About this Mod
Unstable SMP Death Sounds
🎮 Overview
Unstable SMP Death Sounds is a lightweight client-side Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.x that enhances SMP gameplay by adding an intense audio reaction to player deaths.
Whenever a death message appears in chat, the mod plays the iconic Wither spawn sound, making every kill, accident, or chaotic moment feel more impactful without changing any gameplay mechanics.
⚙️ How It Works
The mod listens to incoming chat and system messages on your client. When a standard Minecraft death message is detected, it triggers a sound effect locally.
It recognizes common death events like slain, drowned, fell, exploded, and other vanilla death types, then instantly plays the Wither spawn sound for feedback.
🌐 Compatibility
✔ Works on most multiplayer SMP servers
✔ No server-side installation required
✔ Fully client-side Fabric mod
✔ Minecraft 1.21.x support
As long as death messages are visible in chat, the mod functions normally across servers.

🔊 Sound Feature
The mod plays the Wither spawn sound whenever a valid death message is detected. This creates a consistent audio cue for all player deaths you can see in chat, adding extra intensity to SMP moments.
🧠 Performance
The mod is extremely lightweight and runs entirely on chat event detection. It does not modify world logic, entities, or server behavior, making it safe and efficient for regular gameplay.
