DragNSounds API

by MrJulsen

DragNSounds API lets a server deliver custom sounds and music to players in real time, without a resource pack.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverGNU General Public License v3.0 or laterOpen source1.18.2 – 1.21.1

What it does

Server owners upload their own sounds through the API, and players hear them anywhere on the server without installing a resource pack. The library uses Minecraft's native sound engine and adds JAVE2 audio management, so uploaded files can be managed and manipulated during playback. Other mods can call it through a few simple methods once a project is added. It also works as a standalone mod with built-in commands, though those options are limited. Both Client and server need it; DragonLib and Fabric API are required dependencies. Released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, it is open source and covers 1.18.2 – 1.21.1.

Key features

  1. Server-side custom sounds

    Sounds are provided from the server, so players hear them without a resource pack.

  2. Native sound engine

    Uploaded audio plays through Minecraft's own sound engine, with JAVE2 handling file management.

  3. Simple API calls

    Mods built on the library register a project and use a few methods to play and control sounds.

Questions

Yes. DragonLib is a required dependency, and Fabric API is required as well on Fabric.

Do players need to install anything?

No. Sounds are delivered by the server, so players need no resource pack, but the mod must run on the client and server.
