Enable Global Death Sounds Across Your Server

Make Death Sounds Audible Everywhere

By default, the Wither Death Sounds only play if you're within 500 blocks of where a player dies. If you want everyone on your server to hear every death sound no matter their location, you'll need to enable global mode.

How to Activate Global Sounds

1. Open the chat window (press T)

2. Type the command: /function global_sound:global_on

3. Press Enter to execute

4. Confirm the message appears in chat indicating global mode is active

Once enabled, whenever any player is killed by a weapon, mob, or explosion, the loud Wither boss sound will play for everyone simultaneously, regardless of distance. This is especially useful for multiplayer servers where you want the entire community to react to significant deaths during PvP events or boss fights.

Switching Back to Local Sounds

If global sounds become too overwhelming, you can return to the 500-block radius limit by typing /function global_sound:global_off in chat.
