Sound Sign

by dannytaylor

Sound Sign lets a sign with a noteblock below it trigger a sound, so players can build audio cues from redstone and sign text.

What it does

Players place a sign above a noteblock and power the noteblock to play a sound. Sound Sign covers the signs and powered noteblocks that make this work, and the sound begins once the power reaches the noteblock. The mod is client-side only, so only the client needs it and servers run without it, though the author notes single-player testing and says client-server behavior is untested. Sound Sign is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, with its source code and issue tracker public. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt for 1.21.6.

Key features

  1. Sound signs

    Signs placed over noteblocks act as the trigger for a sound, so a sign can label the cue it plays.

  2. Powered noteblock playback

    Applying power to the noteblock starts its sound, which allows redstone circuits to play audio.

  3. Open source code

    The source code and issue tracker are public, and the project is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later.

Questions

Does Sound Sign need to be installed on the server?

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.
