Let Him Yap

Why did they silence my boy? LET HIM YAP.

Directly inspired by Casualties: Unknown, Let Him Yap is a highly configurable contextual dialogue system.

Players now dynamically react to pain, danger, exhaustion, drowning, fear, food, and more with floating overhead speech and immersive typewriter-style dialogue.

Designed for immersion-heavy modpacks, survival experiences, roleplay servers, and emergent storytelling.

Note

This mod is currently in an open public beta. What you see is very much currently in development. Expect stuff to not always work. Features subject to change. Report bugs on the GitHub's Issues page.
