Talking Blocks
by LukaNess
Talking Blocks makes ordinary blocks speak aloud when a player interacts with them, with voicelines played as they are broken.
What it does
Blocks in Talking Blocks have voicelines that play when they are broken, and some blocks speak as living creatures. The mod is a Forge addition for Minecraft 1.20.1 and runs on the client and the server, so both need it. It is a social and cursed mod, and it also carries a mobs category.
Hostile and peaceful settings change how the blocks behave. Blocks in the mod only spawn in hostile modes, while blocks that support peaceful mode do not attack players. A creator video on YouTube shows the mod in action, and the author states that more content is planned.
The mod is published for Forge 1.20.1 only, with version 1.0.0 as the latest file, dated 2026-02-08. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

What the author says
This mod is a funny and choatic one that was inspired by a Minecraft youtuber named Knarfy, from, well, YouTube! He realsed a video 3 years ago (2023), where he coded his viewer's mod ideas into the game, and two people wanted talking blocks. So, I remade his mod with different voice lines.
