ExtraSounds Next
by Arborsm
With ExtraSounds Next installed on the client, scrolling the hotbar, clicking inventory slots and sending chat messages each play their own sound.
What it does
The mod adds UI sounds to Minecraft. Hotbar scrolling, inventory clicks, dropping items, scrolling the creative inventory and chat messages each get a sound that can be changed or switched off in the configuration.
Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it and players can use it on any server. Fabric API is required on Fabric and NeoForge builds, and Just Enough Items (JEI) is an optional dependency that adds compatibility with item lookup. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker public.
Files exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across game versions 1.18.2 – 26.2. The latest Fabric and NeoForge builds target 26.2, and the latest Forge build targets 1.20.1. The first release was published on 2023-12-03 and the most recent update on 2026-08-10.
Key features
Hotbar scroll sounds
Scrolling through the hotbar plays a sound, so slot changes can be heard without looking at the screen.
Inventory click sounds
Clicking an item in an inventory plays a sound that depends on the item that was clicked.
Drop sound by amount
Dropping items plays a sound that varies with the number of items dropped.
Creative scroll sound
Scrolling the creative inventory plays a sound whose pitch follows the speed of the scroll.
Chat sounds
A sound plays when a chat message arrives, and a separate sound plays when a message mentions the player with @.
Configurable sounds
Each sound can be adjusted or disabled in the configuration, so players choose which UI sounds they keep.

A distinct sound for @mentions helps players notice when someone addresses them in a busy chat.
Who it’s for: Players who want more interface sound feedback in Minecraft Java Edition, on any server, since only the client needs the mod.
