Pearl Detector

by Goobercorp Modding Industries

Pearl Detector is a Fabric client mod that reacts when ender pearls and wind charges are thrown, changing how they are rendered and playing sound cues.

What it does

Projectiles thrown within sight of the player get a sound cue as soon as they leave the hand, and the mod keeps the sound silent for ones that are out of view. Rendering of ender pearls and wind charges is tweaked in scale and lighting so they stand out during fights and travel.

The mod needs MidnightLib, a configuration library, to be installed alongside it. It is client-side only, so servers do not need it. Pearl Detector is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and has files for 1.19.4 – 1.21.11.

Key features

  1. Sound cues for throws

    A cue plays when an ender pearl or wind charge is thrown within the player's view.

  2. Adjusted projectile rendering

    Scale and lighting of ender pearls and wind charges are changed so they are easier to track.

  3. Texture pack compatible

    The rendering changes leave resource packs working as usual.

Questions

Does Pearl Detector need MidnightLib?

Yes. MidnightLib must be installed with Pearl Detector, since the mod uses it for its configuration.

Do servers need Pearl Detector?

No. The mod is client-side only, so players install it on their own game while the server runs without it.
