Set Up Sound Preferences for Your Playstyle

Choose Between Local and Global Death Notifications

The Wither Death Sounds Mod offers two modes to suit different playstyles. Understanding the difference helps you decide which works best for your server or world.

Local Mode (Default)

The death sound only plays if you're within 500 blocks of the player who died. This creates a more immersive, location-based experience where distant deaths don't interrupt your gameplay. Use this if you prefer a quieter experience or play on large servers where constant notifications would be distracting.

Global Mode

Every death sound plays for everyone instantly, no matter where they are. This creates a shared moment of awareness across your entire server and is ideal for:

  • Competitive PvP events
  • Boss fight announcements
  • Multiplayer raids where team coordination matters
  • Creating dramatic moments during important battles

Switching Modes

Toggle between them anytime using /function global_sound:global_on or /function global_sound:global_off. You can change modes mid-session without restarting.
