My Totem Sounds (MTS)

by ZipeStudio

My Totem Sounds replaces the sound a totem of undying makes when it activates, using names and sound files supplied by resource packs.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient-side onlyCreative Commons Attribution No Derivatives 4.01.20 – 26.2

What it does

The client-side mod reads two files from the active resource packs: sounds.json, the standard Minecraft sound registration, and a second mapping file that ties renamed totems to sound events. When a totem is renamed in an anvil to a name with a matching sound, that sound plays when the totem activates. Totems without a matching name keep the vanilla sound, and a single sound can be triggered by an array of several names.

Only the client needs the mod, so players install it and servers do not. A server owner can ship a pack holding custom sounds and a mapping file, which players accept to hear them automatically; players without the mod or the pack hear the vanilla totem sound instead. The mod requires Fabric API on Fabric and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.20 – 26.2. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives 4.0 license.

Key features

  1. Renamed totem sounds

    A totem renamed in an anvil plays the sound mapped to that name when it activates.

  2. Two-file resource pack format

    Sound events are defined in sounds.json and name mappings in a separate mapping file, following the standard resource pack structure.

  3. Multiple names per sound

    One sound can be linked to several different totem names through an array in the mapping file.

  4. Shared sound IDs

    A mapping can point to a sound ID that belongs to another resource pack, so packs can reuse each other's sounds.

Questions

Does My Totem Sounds need to be installed on the server?

No. The mod is client-side only, so servers run without it. A server owner can add a resource pack with custom sounds, which players accept to hear them.

Does My Totem Sounds require Fabric API?

Yes, Fabric API is required on Fabric. Forge and NeoForge builds do not list a dependency.

What happens to players who lack the resource pack?

They hear the vanilla totem sound. Mapped sounds only play for players who have the mod and the matching pack loaded.
