Narrator Block Legacy

by Jaimote11

Narrator Block Legacy lets a redstone-powered block read a typed message aloud to every connected player through Minecraft's built-in narrator.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.12.2

What it does

A narrator block is a simple redstone component. Its owner writes a message into the block, and when a signal reaches it, the text is sent to all connected players, who hear it through the game's own narrator. The message also appears on screen as a subtitle, so players who keep narration off can still read it.

The mod was built from scratch for Minecraft 1.12.2 as an independent reimplementation, drawing its idea from the Speaker Block of Supplementaries and the narrator block of MapControllers. It is a Forge mod for 1.12.2 only, and it needs to be installed on the server and on every player's client, since the broadcast depends on both sides.

Forge 1.0.0 for 1.12.2 is the only published build, released on 2026-08-20. The mod is released as All rights reserved and is not open source. A Spanish version of the description is also available from the author.

Key features

  1. Redstone-triggered narration

    A redstone signal activates the block, which then speaks its stored message to connected players.

  2. Typed messages

    The owner writes the message text directly into the block, so each narrator can say a different line.

  3. Subtitle display

    The same message is shown as a subtitle on screen, alongside the spoken narration.

  4. Broadcast to connected players

    Every player connected to the server hears the message, not only those close to the block.

Questions

Does Narrator Block Legacy need to be installed on both sides?

Yes. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.

Which loader and game version does Narrator Block Legacy support?

It supports Forge for Minecraft 1.12.2 only. The latest Forge file is 1.0.0 for 1.12.2, published on 2026-08-20.

Can players hear the narrator if their in-game narration is turned off?

The message is also shown as a subtitle, so the text is still readable even when spoken narration is disabled in the options.
