ChatPings
by Polokalap
ChatPings plays an experience orb sound in the chat whenever a player's name is mentioned, so a mention is heard even when the chat is not being watched.
What it does
The sound plays on the client only, and nothing is added to the server. Volume can be adjusted and the sound muted from the Mod Menu settings screen, which is built with oωo (owo-lib). The mod targets Fabric and is published for 1.21 – 1.21.8, and it requires Mod Menu and oωo (owo-lib) to be installed alongside it. Its source code is public under the MIT License.
Key features
Mention sound
A chat message that mentions the player triggers an experience orb sound, so the mention is noticed without reading the chat.
Volume and mute
The sound volume can be set, or the sound muted, from the mod's settings screen opened through Mod Menu.
Client-side behavior
Only the player's own game plays the sound, so servers do not need the mod to be installed.
