SoundPixel Mod
by zJuqni
SoundPixel Mod lets a Fabric client play custom audio that a server streams to it, without a resource pack.
What it does
Players who join a server running SoundPixel-Plugin hear custom sounds the server sends to them. The client receives the audio packets, plays them back, and needs no resource pack to do so. Once joining, the client performs a compatibility handshake with the server before any audio is streamed.
The mod runs on Fabric 1.20.4 and needs Fabric API and Java 17 or newer. It is client-side only, so server owners do not install it. Builds exist for 1.20.4, 1.20.5 and 1.20.6, with 1.0.3 for 1.20.6 as the latest file, published April 12, 2026. The author notes that the mod is compatible with the plugin side of the setup, which is the server component that streams the audio.
Key features
Custom audio playback
Audio streamed by the server is decoded and played on the client as it arrives, including sounds the player has no local file for.
Resource-free sounds
Sounds sent by the server play without the player installing a resource pack that contains them.
Join handshake
Joining a server triggers a handshake that lets the server detect the mod before it sends any audio.
