Inner Voice
Inner Voice shows floating, typewriter-style inner voice text during boss fights, approaches and other moments the author scripts, with music and subtitles set per mob.
What it does
Specified mobs can be assigned a custom background track, and the track's lyrics or subtitles appear in sync as typewriter text with per-character shaking effects. Music can be selected per entity, boss, biome, structure or advancement, and entities are matched by ID or tag. Health-based boss music phases and day and night music phases are supported, with OGG and MP3 files, and lyrics can come from embedded OGG lyrics, MP3 ID3 tags or LRC and SRT files.
Rules are edited in a full-screen visual editor that offers entity selection with model previews, music search, a preview of each track, recent sound capture and batch editing, with English and Chinese interfaces. Server administrators open the editor with a key that is unbound by default and assigned in Minecraft's Controls menu. Only accounts holding operator status at permission level 2 or above may alter rules, and rules are kept on the server and pushed to every connected player. Inner Voice runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across 17 release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, and the code is under All rights reserved.
Key features
Typewriter subtitles
Lyrics and subtitles are drawn character by character in sync with the music, with optional per-character shaking.
Phased boss music
Boss tracks can change by health, and day and night tracks can switch on a timed cycle, with fade transitions between them.
Visual rule editor
A full-screen editor lists entities with model previews, lets a rule target a chosen track, and sets subtitles, phases and sounds.
Batch rule editing
Several rules can be selected and edited together, and recent sound captures are kept for quick reuse.
Music volume control
Volume is configurable, and a takeover setting can reduce the music played by other boss mods.

How it compares
Local Music Player is a NeoForge-only, client-side mod under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, covering 1.21 – 1.21.5, so it does not change what other players hear. Tritium Music is client-side only and open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, across 1.20.1 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Inner Voice differs by needing both client and server and by assigning tracks to mobs and bosses rather than playing a player library.
