REPO Heads
by laf
With R.E.P.O Heads, a player's head splits open and its eyes move in the style of the R.E.P.O. game, driven by voice volume.
What it does
Voice chat from Simple Voice Chat sets how far the head opens: the louder the sound, the wider the split. Eye tracking follows movement the way it does in R.E.P.O., and the eye positions and the height at which the head splits can be changed in the settings. Those two values are sent to every other player who runs the mod, so each player sees the head shape the owner chose.
The mod works on the client alone, so servers and other players need nothing installed. Fabric API is required on Fabric, and Simple Voice Chat must be present as well. Builds exist for Fabric and Forge, with the latest Fabric file for 26.1.2 and the latest Forge file for 1.20.1; the game versions with files are 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.3 and onward through 26.1.2. The code is under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Volume-based head splitting
The head opens and closes according to the player's microphone sound level, reacting to speech in real time.
R.E.P.O style eye tracking
Eyes track movement in the manner of the R.E.P.O. game, giving the avatar a matching look.
Custom eye positions
The player can choose where the eyes sit on the head, so the face suits the chosen look.
Adjustable split height
The exact pixel row where the head splits can be set, letting each player fine-tune the effect.

Use cases
Voice-driven avatars
Players who talk in voice chat get a head that reacts to their speech while they play on multiplayer servers.
Matching the R.E.P.O. look
Players who want the eye motion of the R.E.P.O. game on their own character can set the mod to follow it.
Who it’s for: Players who want a voice-reactive head and eye motion on their character, and who already run Simple Voice Chat. Servers and other players need no install.
