Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Death Muffler Fix
This mod fixes a compatibility issue in Mob Grinding Utils where the "Death Muffler" feature fails to properly hide Boss health bars for the Wither and Ender Dragon.
Problem: In the original Mob Grinding Utils mod, when players use the Death Muffler to suppress boss spawn messages, the boss health bar still appears on screen during boss fights. This breaks the intended "stealth" gameplay experience for players who want to farm bosses without the visual clutter of boss bars.
Solution: Death Muffler Fix improves the boss identification logic by using Minecraft's built-in language system to match boss names. This ensures:
Accurate Boss Detection: Correctly identifies the Wither and Ender Dragon regardless of their display names
Multi-language Support: Works properly in all languages supported by Minecraft, not just English
Seamless Integration: Works automatically with existing Mob Grinding Utils Death Muffler items — no additional configuration needed
How it works: When you activate the Death Muffler for Wither or Ender Dragon in Mob Grinding Utils, this fix ensures the boss health bar is also hidden during the fight, providing a cleaner HUD experience for automated boss farming setups.
Requirements:
Minecraft 1.21.1
NeoForge 21+
Mob Grinding Utils 1.1.10+
