Attract to Chat — Mobs Hear Your Messages [Forge + Fabric 1.19.2 / 1.20.1]

Mobs can't read. But they can hear you type. Forge · Fabric — server-side only. Players install nothing. You're caving. Good run — diamonds, iron, half a stack of lapis. A friend types a joke; you laugh and type back: "HOLY CRAP THIS CAVE IS HUGE." The jokes stop. Two tunnels over, a zombie abandons its minecart heist mid-swing and starts walking toward the message. Nearby mobs turn toward the typed message and start walking to it. In Attract to Chat , chat is sound. Every message lands where you were standing when you typed it. Mobs hear it, walk toward that spot, and look around for whoever made the noise. That's the whole mod: one rule, no new blocks, no new items — your server's chat just has consequences now. ◈ Hearing rules A CAPS shout crosses the valley — mobs drop what they were doing and walk toward the typing. Caps carry. HELP travels farther than help , and !!! brings company faster. Shouting has consequences. Walls muffle. Sound is raycast block by block, mouth to ear: every solid block trims 12.5% of a message's reach, and eight of them cut it off entirely. A sealed shelter is a real shelter. Mobs stay mobs. No teleport-aggro, no stacked odds. A mob mid-fight keeps it
