Effect pinger
by jessicube
Effect pinger is a Fabric client-side minigame mod that plays a ping sound when a potion effect is close to running out.
What it does
When a status effect such as strength or invisibility is nearly over, the client plays a sound so the player can react without watching the effect timer. The reminder suits PvP game modes, where a lapsed effect can decide a fight. Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it and players join without installing anything on the server side. Effect pinger needs MidnightLib, and Mod Menu is optional. Files target 1.21.4 – 1.21.5, with 1.2.0 for 1.21.5 as the latest Fabric build, released under the MIT License.
Key features
Expiry sound alert
A sound plays when a tracked potion effect is close to running out, timed from the effect's remaining duration.
PvP reminder
The alert prompts players to reapply effects during PvP game modes.
Effect-specific tracking
Effects such as strength and invisibility are covered, so the sound follows each effect's own time left.

What the author says
Made this mod to remind me to repot when playing pvp gamemodes. It plays a sound effect of your choice when an effect is close to running out of time, meaning you will always have effects strength or invisibility.
