Indicative Pitch
Increases the pitch of the block breaking sound as the block is closer to being broken.
About this Mod
Overview
This is a tiny quality of life mod that makes the block breaking sound increase in pitch as the block is closer to being broken. It should work on any version from 1.20.1 to 1.21.5. Please let me know in the comments if you have any problems with it!

Porting
I can port this to NeoForge, Forge, or other versions as desired. Unfortunately, Modrinth doesn't have a comments feature, but you could leave a note in the comments on CurseForge! The mod should have the same name there, so it ought to be easy to find.
That being said, here is the entirety of the functional code of this mod:
@Mixin(MultiPlayerGameMode.class)
public abstract class MultiPlayerGameModeMixin {
@Accessor("destroyProgress")
public abstract float getDestroyProgress();
@ModifyExpressionValue(at = @At(value = "INVOKE", target = "Lnet/minecraft/world/level/block/SoundType;getPitch()F"), method = "continueDestroyBlock")
private float modifyPitch(float original) {
float returnValue = (this.getDestroyProgress() * 2.5f * original);
// System.out.println("Returning " + returnValue);
return returnValue;
}
}
If I ever stop maintaining this, I'd appreciate it if someone could pick this project up and carry it forward! It's a nice QOL/accessibility feature.

Indicative Pitch server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.5). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Indicative Pitch officially supports fabric, forge for Minecraft 1.21.5, 1.21.4, 1.21.3. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Indicative Pitch – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Indicative Pitch consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
