What Mod
by ACEGE_
What Mod is a Fabric entertainment mod that opens a custom GUI screen with fun images and playful audio when a player presses a hotkey.
What it does
Pressing the default H key, which can be remapped, opens a custom interface that shows a set of images and plays a short audio clip during the display. The mod is meant as a light, playful addition to the game, and it is designed specifically for Minecraft rather than adapted from another project. Players who want a quick reaction screen can trigger it at any time from the keyboard.
Installation needs Fabric API placed in the mods folder next to What Mod, then a launch of the game to confirm the mod loads. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 1.0.2 for 1.21.1 as the latest build, and the mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 license, which is not an open source license. Public source code is available.
Key features
Custom GUI screen
A dedicated interface opens on a key press and displays images chosen for entertainment value.
Audio playback
Specific sound clips play while the interface is open, adding to the comic effect of each trigger.
Remappable hotkey
The default key is H, and it can be changed in the controls menu to suit the player's layout.

Use cases
Casual play
Players who want a quick joke in a survival or creative world can call up the screen without leaving the game.
Streaming and recording
A single key press gives a predictable reaction, which can serve as a running gag during videos.
Who it’s for: Players who want a light, optional entertainment screen in their Fabric setup, on a client or a server that both run the mod.
How it compares
Audio Switcher is server-side only and runs on Fabric for 1.21 – 1.21.3, so it is not a client-side visual screen like What Mod. Audio Focus is client-side only, targets 1.21.10 on Fabric and is licensed under the MIT License without being open source. GUI-Uniqueify is also client-side only, for 1.21.5 – 1.21.7 on Fabric, under the same MIT License.
