No Villager Death Messages Continued

Runs on: Minecraft 26.3 on Fabric, and 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.8, 1.21.5 and 1.21.4 on Fabric and on NeoForge. No Fabric API needed. Older versions: the original No Villager Death Messages covers Forge and NeoForge up to 1.21.1. Each file was tested on a real dedicated server, next to a control boot without the mod.

Every time a villager dies, Minecraft writes a line to the server console and the log file (bug MC-165985). One villager is nothing. A villager farm or a raid fills your log with them, and the lines you actually wanted scroll away. This mod removes that one line and nothing else.

There is nothing to set up. Drop the jar in mods/ on the server; players install nothing and join with a normal client. There is no config file and no command.

This is a continuation of No Villager Death Messages by Jeremiah Winsley (MutantGumdrop; MIT, about 34 million CurseForge downloads, last released for NeoForge 1.21.1 in October 2024), ported to the versions after it and to Fabric, which the original never had, with full credit; the original author is not involved. Original project: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/no-villager-death-messages . The filter is the original’s: it matches the log line’s format, so it cannot catch anything else. The original licence and a notice listing every change are inside the jar.

What the tests showed on each file: without the mod the line appears; with it, twelve villagers killed by /kill and by /damage from a player left no line on the console or in logs/latest.log. A named pig’s death is still logged, a player typing the same words in chat still reaches the log, and the filter stays in place after /reload. An operator joined with a vanilla-protocol client throughout.

Not tested: singleplayer and a real game client. Villagers were killed with commands, not by zombies or in a raid; the line is written the same way whatever kills them.

Compatibility: Minecraft 26.3 (Java 25) with Fabric Loader, and 1.21.4 to 1.21.11 (Java 21) with Fabric Loader or NeoForge; pick the file for your version and loader. Do not install it next to the original. Licence: MIT, continued from No Villager Death Messages by Jeremiah Winsley with the original licence and a notice of every change in the jar.
