Sound Indicators
by Verschillend
Sound Indicators shows directional markers around the crosshair for in-game sounds, so a player can see where a sound came from.
What it does
The mod draws a visual cue for sounds that would otherwise only be heard. It covers block breaks, footsteps and projectiles being fired, and places each indicator in the direction the sound came from. The option is aimed at players who cannot hear directional audio properly, including those who use headphones that do not reproduce direction well.
Sound Indicators is a client-side only mod, so only the player's game needs it and a server can run without it. It requires Cloth Config API and Fabric API, and Mod Menu is optional for opening its settings. Files are published for Fabric for five release versions, 1.21.11 – 26.2, and the latest Fabric file is 1.0.1 for 26.1.2. The license is custom and the mod is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Directional sound markers
Sounds are shown around the crosshair so the direction of each one is visible on screen.
Block break indicators
Breaking blocks nearby produces a marker, so the sound is visible even when it is hard to locate by ear.
Footstep and projectile cues
Footsteps and projectiles being fired are marked as well, which helps locate other players or incoming shots.
Configurable options
Every part of the indicators can be adjusted in the config, and the textures can be replaced by a texture pack.

Use cases
Accessibility
Players who cannot hear sound direction reliably can rely on the on-screen markers instead of audio alone.
Player versus player play

Who it’s for: Players who want visual feedback for game sounds, including those with hearing difficulties, and players in multiplayer who want to track footsteps and shots.
