Sound Radar
by 01F4A
Sound Radar shows small colored dots around the crosshair that mark where nearby sounds are coming from.
What it does
When a sound plays nearby, a dot appears around the crosshair in the direction it comes from, so a player with low volume can still tell where activity is. The overlay runs on the client alone, so only the player who installs it sees the dots and no server setup is needed. The mod is built for Fabric and is published for 1.21.1 and 1.21.10, with the newest file, 1.0.1, targeting 1.21.11 in the beta channel. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
