Dinged
by on9chai
Dinged plays a short ding sound when Minecraft finishes loading, so players know the game is ready to use.
What it does
The sound is tied to the moment the game finishes loading, and it can also play when a world loads, when a world saves and when resources finish loading. Dinged is a lightweight update of iChun's Ding mod, reworked for the current Fabric releases.
Dinged is client-side only, so only the player's client needs it and a server can run without it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker publicly available. Files cover 26.2 and 26.3, and the latest Fabric build is 1.0.0-26.3 for 26.3, published on 2026-09-16.
Key features
Load completion sound
A ding plays once the game has finished starting up, signaling that the title screen is ready.
World load and save sounds
The same sound can mark when a world finishes loading and when it saves.
Resource load sound
Playback can also be tied to the point where game resources finish loading.
Lightweight design
The mod is kept small, with a single sound effect and no extra screens or settings beyond the basics.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Long startup on modded setups
Players with large modpacks can hear the ding instead of watching the loading screen to see when the game is ready.
Background launches
Someone who starts the game and switches to another task gets an audible cue when the client is available.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want an audible signal when the client has started, loaded a world or saved one. It suits anyone running a larger pack where startup takes a while.
How it compares
Pling is a Fabric client mod for 1.15.2 – 1.21.8, released under the MIT License and open source. Startup Timer is also a Fabric client mod, for 1.21.8 – 26.3 under the MIT License and open source, and it measures the startup time rather than playing a sound. Dinged covers 26.2 and 26.3 under the same license.
