Scream and die
Scream and die lets hostile mobs react to sound picked up from a player's microphone, so noise made in real life changes what the mobs do in the game.
What it does
A player who speaks, shouts or makes any loud sound near the microphone draws the attention of nearby hostile mobs, while staying quiet keeps them away. The microphone input is read by the mod and turned into in-game events, which are synchronized between clients and servers so every player sees the same reactions.
The mod works in singleplayer and multiplayer and needs Architectury API and Cloth Config API to run. A configuration file lets players tune microphone sensitivity, which helps filter out false triggers caused by ambient sound and by a player's own breath. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1, released under the MIT License, and the project lists support for other versions among its plans.
