SculkSpeak
by fatigue_dev
SculkSpeak lets real microphone input set off sculk sensors, so players whisper, clap or scream in the Deep Dark and the sensors respond.
What it does
Sculk sensors normally react to in-game vibrations. SculkSpeak adds a second trigger: sound picked up from the player's own microphone. Talking, clapping, whispering, screaming or playing music near a sensor can set it off, and the sensor reacts to the actual loudness of the noise rather than a fixed in-game event.
The mod is aimed at survival horror maps, adventure play and multiplayer games where players want to sneak past Wardens or prank each other in the Deep Dark. Input sensitivity can be adjusted, so quiet speech and loud sounds can be tuned to different rooms and microphones. The mod works for Fabric on version 1.21.11 only, and it needs to be present on both the client and the server, as the environment is client and server.
SculkSpeak is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Its listing shows a single Fabric file, 1.0.0 for 1.21.11, first published and last updated on 2026-05-19.
Key features
Microphone input detection
The mod reads sound from the player's microphone and passes it to nearby sculk sensors as a vibration.
Voice-triggered sensors
Speech, clapping, whispering and screaming all activate sensors, so a room can be set off by voice alone.
Adjustable sensitivity
Sensitivity can be set so quiet sounds count, or raised so only loud noises trigger the sensors.
Horror and multiplayer play
Survival horror maps and multiplayer games can use the mic reactions to make Wardens harder to avoid, or to prank friends.
