About this Mod

Have you ever tried fighting in co-op but had that one friend who can't avoid attacking their teammates?

Well... I have, and it a real pain.

Thats what this mod tries to solve, It allows you to bind 6 buttons in the controls screen, each one triggers a different sound.
On their own the sounds dont really have a meaning, except that one flirty whistle, But the meaning is up to you and your teammates to decide, Thus your enemy won't understand your communications.

Don't have a video for the sounds in-game yet, you can hear them from the "sound sources" menu below.

It also has a 7th keybind which opens a... not so good looking menu where you choose a sound to play.
Voice emotes menu

Q&A:

Do i need to craft an item to use the sounds?

-No, just press a button and thats it.

Do you plan on porting this to fabric or older versions?

-Idk, I will if enough people ask.

Can i use your mod in X modpack?

-As long as you don't sell your modpack/product, you are free to use my mod (check the licence tho...)

Can I port your mod to older/newer versions?

-You may port my mod to any other version and send a PR (pull request) through github, which you will be credited for, but you mustn't upload it outside this mod page unless explicitly stated.

Do you plan on updating this to the newer versions?

-Yes

Why did you create this?

-Playing with epic fight, my friend kills me on accident alot, i told him the enemy/boss chases me he attacks it, and we switch when one of us sends Y in chat, i get low try to send Y but die as i type, this idea hit me, "why not make it so u just press Y and a signal is sent?".

Why would this be usefull?

-It's mostly made for people who cant use discord or calls. for example poor internet or potato pc.

-Imagine fighting a boss or enemy team, you agree with your team on 6 signals, charge in, retreat, i am low, they have backup, self destruct(tnt), gather together, your enemy won't know the meaning of each signal, they will just hear whistling everywhere, WOULDN'T THAT BE COOL???.

Future plans:

  • A way to destinguish who made the sound (may leave it for pvp strats (confuse your enemy)
  • Add more sounds (suggestions are appreciated)
  • Polish the voice emotes menu (maybe make it like bedrock emote menu)
  • Implement importing custom sounds
  • Add animations (may conflict with epic fight/better combat animations? i may just disable it if they Are installed)

Known bugs:

  • The gui button sounds in voice emote menu conflicts with the mod's sounds.
