Indicative Pitch
by startraveler
Indicative Pitch raises the pitch of the block-breaking sound, so a block sounds higher as the player gets closer to breaking it.
What it does
When a player mines a block, the break sound shifts upward in pitch as the block nears breaking, giving a clear cue of progress without any new HUD element. The change is limited to the block-breaking sound and leaves other sounds alone. Players on Fabric or Forge install it alone, and no dependency is listed.

Key features
Rising break pitch
The block-breaking sound rises in pitch as the block approaches the point of breaking.
Progress without a HUD
The audio cue shows how close a block is to breaking without adding overlays or icons.
Narrow scope
Only the block-breaking sound is changed, so other game sounds keep their normal pitch.

What the author says
This is a tiny quality of life mod that makes the block breaking sound increase in pitch as the block is closer to being broken. It should work on any version from 1.20.1 to 1.21.5. Please let me know in the comments if you have any problems with it! Credit to @⚔SandWhoop⚔ on Discord for the mod idea.
