The Bug
When a mob own a "Silent" nbt tag, the mob can't emit sound, but it can still activate sculk sensor.
Steps to Reproduce:
Place a sculk sersor
Summon a "silent" villager beside the sculk sersor.
/summon villager ~ ~ ~ {Silent:1}Wait for the villager walk.
-> ❌ The sculk sersor can detect the footsteps of the "silent" villager.
Otherwise, you can set the "Show subtitles" to "ON", then wait for a "silent" mob walk, there isn't "footsteps" subtitles in the bottom right corner, but it can activate sculk sensor, it not usual.
