Fine Sound Control
Fine Sound Control lets players set the volume of individual game sounds, with changes that apply locally or to a whole server.
What it does
Each sound event in the game can be given its own volume value between 0 and 1, so a single noise can be quieted without touching the rest of the mix. Sounds are selected by their ID, and the listen command reports the ID of a sound as it plays, so players can find the one they want to change.
Changes made on a single-player save or on a client apply only to that save or client. Changes made with the global option are saved for a server and apply to everyone who joins it. When a local change and a global change target the same sound, the local change takes priority. Because only the client needs the mod, a server can run without it and players can still adjust their own experience. The mod depends on Fabric API and is published for Fabric and NeoForge, covering 1.21.1 – 26.3 across eight release versions under the MIT License, with the source code and issue tracker public.
Key features
Per-sound volume control
Each individual sound can be set to a volume between 0 and 1, instead of adjusting one slider for every category.
Local and global changes
A change can be saved for the current save or client, or stored globally so that a server applies it to all players.
Local priority
When a local and a global change target the same sound, the local value is used, letting players override a server setting.
Listen command for sound IDs
A command reports the ID of the sound being played, which can then be entered in quotation marks to target it.
Global command for servers
A command adds a global sound change on a server, so the same volume applies to every player who joins.
