Player VOX
by scarls686
PlayerVOX gives the player character a voice, with clips that play when the player takes damage, scores a kill, dies or earns an advancement.
What it does
Voice packs are loaded from a folder in the Minecraft instance root, placed beside the mods folder. Each pack is either a folder or a .zip file. Pack authors describe which character speaks and which lines play in data-pack-style JSON files, using OGG audio. Players choose their own pack in the game and can switch voices off entirely. Packs are loaded automatically at server startup and reload with the data packs, so a reload or restart picks up changes.
The mod runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1, needs Forge 47.2.0 or later, and is released under the MIT License as open source. Both the client and the server run it, and the server needs it installed for voices to reach other players. Voices are spatial, so nearby players hear them. The optional TACZ mod adds voice triggers tied to gun use. Public links exist for the source code and a wiki that includes a tutorial for creating voice packs.
Key features
Voice pack folders
Packs are placed as folders or .zip files in a folder in the instance root, and they load without repacking.
Per-line voice triggers
JSON files define which clip plays on damage, kills, death and advancements, and pack authors set each line.
Spatial voices
Voice lines play with distance, so nearby players hear them and farther players do not.
Personal voice choice
Each player picks a voice pack in the game or turns voices off, independently of other players.
Gun-related triggers
When the optional TACZ mod is present, gun actions can trigger voice lines.

Use cases
Custom character voices on a server
A server owner installs the mod on the server and adds voice pack folders, so players hear the chosen character during play.
Creating a voice pack
A pack author uses the wiki tutorial to write JSON files and OGG clips, then ships the result as a folder or zip.
Who it’s for: Players who want character voices during combat and progress, server owners who run a shared voice set, and pack authors who make their own lines.
