Auditory (Discontinued)
by sydneybeanmc
Auditory changes the sounds of many blocks and a set of player actions, including ender pearl teleports, dropping items, bows and cake eating, and it is discontinued.
What it does
Auditory refreshes most older blocks that use the default sounds and gives some blocks more distinctive sound groups than vanilla. Block sounds are data-driven and edited through the tag system, so the set can be changed by data packs. Several player actions also get new sounds, including throwing an ender pearl, pulling back a bow, swinging a weapon, lifting a shield, leashing or unleashing a mob, and eating cake. Placing boats and minecarts is covered too.
Certain effects, such as block sounds, work entirely on the client. Item interaction sounds need the mod on the server as well, so the environment is client and server. A hotkey reloads the sound engine and is unbound by default, and it can be rebound in the controls menu. The mod requires Fabric API, Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are optional, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Files cover 1.19 – 1.19.3, with 0.0.5-1.19.3 as the latest build for Fabric and Quilt, published on 2023-02-22. The project was first published on 2022-06-23. The author has discontinued development, so no new builds are expected.
