# Unstable SMP Death Sounds
\n\ud83c\udfae Overview
\n—
\nUnstable 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\u2699\ufe0f How It Works
\n—
\nThe 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.<\/p>\n
It recognizes common death events like slain, drowned, fell, exploded, and other vanilla death types, then instantly plays the Wither spawn sound for feedback.<\/p>\n
