Echoes Beneath
by fimkov
Echo Lens lets a player record the sounds, light and shapes of a place, then replay the recording later while standing inside it, in a mod named Echoes Beneath.
What it does
Echoes Beneath adds an Echo Lens that saves a short recording of a spot, up to two minutes long, covering the sound, light and shape of the blocks around it. Mobs and players that walk through the area leave their sounds in the recording as well. Replaying the recording sends a ring of sound outward from the same spot, and where the ring reaches a wall or floor, that surface lights up briefly before fading. Recordings made during a fight keep the dark shapes of the mobs, and blocks that were broken during the recording come back as dark shapes too.
The mod also places four structures with themed loot tables into the world, so players can find recordings in the terrain before crafting a lens. Taking a recording out of the lens gives an Echo Chart, which frees the slot the recording used. Placing the lens on a table opens a screen where four upgrade tracks can be bought, and dropping a track costs nothing while climbing back to a level already reached is also free. Echoes Beneath requires Fabric API on both loaders, and it is published for Fabric and NeoForge for 26.2 and 1.21.1 under the MIT License, as open source code.
Key features
Echo Lens recording
The lens records a short clip of a place, and the recording can be replayed while standing in the same spot.
Recording viewer
Once a recording is taken, a 3D model of the location appears on screen, assembled only from the surfaces that were picked up by sound, and two sliders adjust the height range shown.
Echo Chart
Removing a recording from the lens produces an Echo Chart, which is placed anywhere and hangs above the ground.
Upgrade tracks
Four upgrade tracks on a table let the lens gain better settings, bought once and kept at the highest level reached.

How it compares
Echoes of the World is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 with the same client and server environment, released as open source under the MIT License, and Echoes Beneath covers 1.21.1 and 26.2. SoundRecording is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1, also open source under the MIT License, so it is a narrower match for one loader and one version. Echoes of The End (Structures) runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.19.2 – 26.2 and is all rights reserved, so its code cannot be reused in the same way.

What the author says
Record a place with an Echo Lens and come back later to stand inside that recording. The lens saves up to two minutes: the blocks around it, the mobs and players that walked through, and the sounds that actually played there. Use the lens again on the same spot and the recording plays back around you.
