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
Matrix3x2ftransformations for perfectly centered HUD elements.
