ZundaMod
by umjammer
ZundaMod replaces the Minecraft Narrator with voices from the VoiceVox text-to-speech engine, and it is a Fabric mod that runs on the client alone.
What it does
Once the mod is installed, the in-game narration reads on-screen text aloud using a VoiceVox voice instead of the default system narrator. The voice is chosen by name in the mod's settings, and numeric parameters adjust pitch and speed. VoiceVox must be running on the computer before Minecraft starts, because the mod sends text to it for synthesis.
Narration is switched on through the Accessibility Settings and the Narrator option, so players who already use the narrator keep the same menu path. The mod hooks into the game's narration system and does not change any gameplay, world data or server behavior.
ZundaMod requires Fabric API. It is published for Fabric only, across 10 release versions, 1.20.2 – 26.3, and the code is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which places it in the public domain as far as the law allows.
Key features
VoiceVox narration
On-screen text is read aloud with a VoiceVox synthesizer instead of the operating system narrator.
Voice selection
The voice is picked by name from the mod's settings, and the list of available voices depends on the VoiceVox installation.
Numeric voice parameters
Pitch, speed and similar values can be tuned as numbers, which changes how each voice sounds.
Account-level voice setting
The chosen voice can be stored with the Minecraft account, so the same setting follows the player between sessions.

How it compares
VoiceMouth is a Fabric mod for 1.21 – 26.2, with all rights reserved and no open source code, where the client is required and the server is optional. MosquitoMod is also a Fabric mod with all rights reserved, but it targets 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 and is client-side only. Simple Voice Chat TTS covers 1.20 – 26.2 and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, which makes it the closest match on license terms.
