Blind Sounds
by ShlakoBlock
Blind Sounds, a Fabric client mod by ShlakoBlock, removes most visual cues so players must navigate by hearing.
What it does
The mod reduces visibility to about 3 blocks and adds dense fog, so the surrounding world is hard to see. Hostile and other mobs can be made completely invisible while they still produce sounds, which builds tension and surprise. The sun and moon are hidden, so players get no natural light to judge the time of day by.
Sound indicators draw visual markers around the edge of the screen that show the direction of nearby sound sources within 10 blocks. The mod is client-side only, so it changes nothing on a server and players alone decide whether to install it. It requires Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) and is open source under the MIT License. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11 and 26.1, with 1.2 for 26.1 as the latest build from 2026-03-26.
