About this project
What does Sonovoid add?
Sonovoid — See Through Sound
**What if sound was your only way to see the world?**
Sonovoid transforms Minecraft into a completely new survival experience where darkness surrounds you, and sound becomes your only sense of sight.
The world is hidden in an endless black void. Trees, mountains, caves, and creatures are invisible — until you release a sound pulse.
With each pulse, thousands of glowing particles reveal the shapes of your surroundings, creating a stunning 3D echolocation effect.
But there's a catch: **every sound you make could reveal your presence.**
Features
- **Echolocation Vision** — Reveal the world through expanding sound waves.
- **3D Point-Cloud Rendering** — Watch your surroundings emerge as glowing dots in the darkness.
- **Fading Visibility** — The world slowly disappears after each pulse.
- **Sound-Based Awareness** — Detect nearby creatures and environmental activity through sound.
- **A New Survival Challenge** — Explore, navigate, and survive without traditional vision.
Enter the Void
Every step is a mystery. Every sound is a clue. Every pulse reveals a little more of the unknown.
