About this Mod

Sound Visualizer

Never miss a sound again. Sound Visualizer is a premium tactical mod for Minecraft that translates in-game audio into intuitive, high-fidelity HUD indicators. Optimized for both Fabric and NeoForge, it provides unparalleled situational awareness for Minecraft versions 1.21.8 through 1.21.11.


✨ Premium Features

Smart Sound Categorization

The mod automatically identifies and categorizes sounds to provide instant tactical recognition:

  • Hostile (Red): Zombie groans, creeper hisses, and other threats.
  • Friendly (Green): Villagers, passive mobs, and pets.
  • Footsteps (White): Precise movement tracking for nearby entities.
  • Blocks (Yellow): Nearby mining, block placement, or piston activity.
  • Player (Blue): Tracking other players in your vicinity.
  • Ambient (Cyan): Environment sounds and music.

Anti-Spam Sound Merging

Tired of HUD clutter? This intelligent merging engine groups sounds of the same category and direction into a single, clean indicator. When a new sound merges, the HUD pulse provides subtle feedback without the distracting "indicator spam."

Visual Excellence

  • Mathematical Arcs: Smooth, 2D-transformed arcs that stay perfectly oriented.
  • Multi-Platform Configuration: Full integration with Cloth Config on both Fabric and NeoForge.
  • Distance Scaling: Indicators grow and fade naturally based on proximity.
  • Glow-Free Performance: Optimized for maximum visibility without "ghosting" artifacts or FPS drops.

🚀 Performance

  • Architectury Powered: Built on a robust cross-platform engine for maximum stability.
  • Client-Side Only: Works perfectly on any server; no server-side installation required.
  • Mathematical Precision: Uses modern Matrix3x2f transformations for perfectly centered HUD elements.

🛠️ Requirements

  • Fabric or NeoForge (1.21.8 - 1.21.11)
  • Architectury API
  • Cloth Config API
  • Mod Menu (Recommended for Fabric)
