NotifyMe
by ahdplayer
When someone types a player's name in chat, NotifyMe can play a notification sound so the message is not missed.
What it does
NotifyMe plays a sound on the client when a chat message contains the name of the player using it. It runs on the client alone, so players install it and servers need nothing extra. Builds are published for Fabric only, across nine release versions 1.19 – 1.21, with 3.0 for 1.21 as the latest file dated 2024-07-17.
Installation requires oωo (owo-lib) to be placed in the mods folder alongside NotifyMe. Mod Menu is optional and adds a configuration screen for the mod. The first public release was dated 2022-11-30, and the last update was 2024-07-17.
The source code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so the project is open source. The author's public issue tracker on GitHub is available for bug reports and requests for new features.

Single-player and multiplayer
Because it is client-side only, the same install works on singleplayer worlds and on any server.
Who it’s for: NotifyMe suits players on Fabric who want a sound when their name appears in chat. Server owners do not need to install it, since only the client runs the mod.
