close-sfx
by Magic_Chris
close-sfx lets players switch off the sound effects that play during combat in high-version Minecraft battles.
What it does
Players who find attack sounds and battle animations distracting can turn the combat effects off with close-sfx, which is a Fabric mod for version 1.21.11. Pressing F8 brings up its controls. The mod runs on the client only, so a server does not need it and players join without installing anything.
Key features
Mute combat sounds
Attack and battle sound effects can be switched off while the rest of the game audio keeps playing.
F8 control
Pressing F8 in game brings up the screen where the combat sound effects are turned on or off.
Battle animation focus
Without the attack sounds, the animations of high-version battles are easier to follow for players who prefer quiet combat.
