ExtraSoundChannels
by jaapie
ExtraSoundChannels is a Fabric utility that gives players extra volume sliders in the options menu, so individual sound groups can be tuned separately.
What it does
The mod adds a set of extra volume sliders to the options menu, letting players set the level of specific sound channels instead of relying only on the master and category sliders. It also includes sound-key checks that help separate and test individual sounds in a multiplayer setting. Only the client needs it, so players can join a server without installing anything on the server side.
Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11, with 1.1.0 as the latest file from 2026-02-28. The mod is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source.
Key features
Extra volume sliders
Additional volume sliders appear in the options menu, giving finer control over game audio than the standard categories.
Sound key checks
Pattern checks tied to sound keys help identify which sound plays during multiplayer sessions.
Options menu integration
The new sliders sit inside the existing options screen, so no separate configuration file is needed to adjust them.
