Fear of Sound

*** # <span style="color:#e67e23">Fear of Sound</span> **Fear of Sound** is a Forge mod that brings your world to life by making mobs dynamically <span style="color:#e03e2d">react</span> to nearby noises. Instead of just running away, creatures now have distinct personalities: some will <span style="color:#3498db">flee</span> in terror, while others will <span style="color:#9b59b6">play dead</span> and freeze in place! This adds a new layer of immersion and stealth gameplay, as your actions can startle creatures and influence their behavior in unique ways. This is the <span style="color:#e03e2d">opposite </span> of (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/attract-to-sound). ## <span style="color:#f1c40f">Features</span> * **Dynamic Fear System** Mobs listen for sounds like footsteps, block breaks, and explosions. They calculate a “fear radius” based on the noise intensity and decide how to react. * **Two Unique Reactions: Flee or Freeze!** Not all mobs just run! Configure which creatures <span style="color:#3498db">flee</span> from danger and which ones <span style="color:#9b59b6">play dead</span>, like a fainting goat. * **Powerful Bypass System** Want to keep your pets or special mobs safe? <span style="color:#2ecc71">Bypass</span> any mob using a <span style="color:#f1c40f">Custom Name</span> or specific <span style="color:#f1c40f">NBT data</span>. A mob named "Pet" or one that is `{Silent:1b}` can be configured to ignore all sounds! * **Highly Configurable** Nearly every aspect is adjustable via the `.toml` config file. Tweak sound properties, block muffling values, player step sounds, and entity lists to tailor the experience to your exact liking. * **Built-in Mod Support** Out-of-the-box integration for (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/simple-voice-chat) and (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/timeless-and-classics-zero) is included, with easy ways to add sounds from any other mod. ## <span style="color:#f1c40f">Installation</span> 1.
