Bad Wither No Cookie — Configuration

Configuration

All behavior is controlled through the mod's configuration file / in-game config menu:

• Per-sound toggles - individually enable or disable silencing for the Wither spawn, Ender Dragon death, Wandering Trader, and lightning/thunder.
• Custom silence list - a list where you add any other sound by its registry name to mute it. Anything that makes a sound can be added (mob ambient noises, block sounds like creaking, animals eating, etc.).
• Local vs. silenced - depending on the sound, you can choose to fully silence it or restrict it so it only plays near its source instead of world-wide.

Edit the config, save, and reload the world (or restart the client/server) for changes to take effect. Because the list uses exact sound names, use the built-in command (below) to find the correct names to paste in.

Finding Sound Names (Command)

To silence a custom sound you need its exact internal name, and the mod ships a chat command that prints the names of the sounds currently playing around you.

Typical workflow:

1. Stand near the noise you want to mute and run the listen command in chat. The mod prints the registry names of nearby sounds to your chat log.
2. Copy the exact sound name it reports.
3. Paste that name into the custom silence list in the configuration.
4. Reload, and that sound is now muted.

This removes the guesswork - instead of hunting through wikis for internal sound IDs, the mod tells you exactly what is playing so you can silence precisely the sound you mean.
