miaow

by koteeq

miaow lets a player make cat sounds on keypress, with separate keys for meowing, hissing and purring.

FabricNeoForgeClient or server, optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.21 – 26.3

What it does

Players press G to meow, or crouch and press G to produce a stray-cat meow. Pressing H plays a hiss and pressing J plays a purr. The sounds are triggered by keybinds the player can rebind in the game controls.

Other players who run the mod can hear the sounds, but a player without it still hears the meows from others as ordinary sound. The mod is client-side and server-optional: the server can run it for extra features, and players can join without it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge across 17 release versions, 1.21 – 26.3, with Fabric API required on Fabric builds. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.

Key features

  1. Meow keybind

    Pressing G plays a standard meow sound from the player's position.

  2. Stray cat meow

    Crouching while pressing G plays a different meow modeled on a stray cat.

  3. Hiss and purr keys

    H plays a hiss and J plays a purr, each as its own keybind.

  4. Rebindable controls

    All sound keys appear in the game controls, so players can move them to other keys.

Questions

Does miaow need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is required for the Fabric build. The NeoForge build does not list it as a dependency.

Does the server need miaow?

No. Either side can run it and neither needs it, so a server can add it for extra features while players join without installing it.

Can the meow keys be changed?

Yes. The meow, hiss and purr keybinds appear in the game controls and can be rebound.
