Soundvisualizer
by Unkoburiburi
Soundvisualizer shows on screen the direction and source of in-game sounds, which helps players spot nearby threats they cannot see.
What it does
Sounds that players normally only hear are drawn as indicators around the screen, so the direction of a noise becomes visible. Several sound sources are tagged separately: footsteps of other players wearing boots, the sounds of breaking and placing blocks with a pickaxe, and the splash of a potion being drunk. Water and magma sounds from buckets are also marked, along with fire from a campfire.
The mod is a client-side only installation for Fabric. Only the player who installs it sees the indicators, so servers run without it and gain nothing from it. It is published for 1.21.6 – 1.21.11, with files for 1.21.6, 1.21.7, 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11. Snapshot builds are not listed. The code is not open source and is covered by All rights reserved.

Who it’s for: Players who want a visual aid for sound on a client they run alone or in multiplayer. Servers do not need the mod, so it suits players who want audio cues shown without changing the server.
