Voiceless Survival

by armilp

With Voiceless Survival installed, hostile mobs react to the sounds a player makes into a microphone, so talking near them can draw them in.

What it does

Hostile mobs hear the player's voice through a microphone, relayed by Simple Voice Chat or Plasmo Voice, and move toward sounds they pick up. Players who stay quiet are harder to find, which turns speech into a risk during survival play. The mod supports all mobs and includes a whispering mode and customizable settings that change how loud a voice must be to attract attention.

The mod is built around Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and it runs on both client and server, so the server and every player need it. Fabric API is required on Fabric, Forge Config API Port is required on the other loaders, and Plasmo Voice or Simple Voice Chat must be present on each side. Files cover 16 release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.1.2, with 3.0.0-fabric as the latest Fabric build for 26.1.2 and neoforge-2.0.1 as the latest NeoForge build for 1.21.1. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

Version 2.0.0 changed the configuration system, so the author advises reviewing configs after an update and making a backup first. The in-game configuration editor opens with the command /ezvcsurvival config.

Key features

  1. Voice-based sound detection

    Mobs respond to the volume and presence of the player's voice, not to typed chat or other game sounds.

  2. Whispering mode

    A quieter speaking mode lets the player talk without drawing mobs from as far away.

  3. Customizable settings

    Detection behavior can be adjusted in a configuration editor opened with an in-game command.

  4. All mobs supported

    The detection applies to every hostile mob type rather than a fixed list of creatures.
