Extreme sound muffler
by LeoBeliik
With Extreme sound muffler, players can silence chosen game sounds while leaving the rest of the audio untouched, adjusted from a dedicated ESM screen.
What it does
Sounds are selected from the ESM screen, which is opened in game. A numbered button is chosen for each sound, and a marker button on the right panel records the anchor position the muffling uses. A slider sets how loud the chosen sound stays, and a play button previews the sound so the right one is muffled.
Players need the mod on the client, while the server may skip it; installing it on a server does nothing. It needs Fabric API as a required dependency. Dark mode is available and can be switched on in the configs. Builds exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.18 – 26.3 across 30 release versions, and the code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.
Key features
Selective sound muffling
Individual sounds can be muffled while the rest of the game audio keeps playing at its usual level.
Volume slider
A slider sets the volume of each selected sound, giving a range between full silence and the original level.
Sound preview
A play button plays the selected sound so the player can confirm it is the one to muffle.
Numbered sound slots
Ten numbered buttons store separate sound choices, and each one can hold its own anchor position.
Dark mode
The screen can use a dark theme, enabled in the configs.
