HitSound
by Seyit
With HitSound installed, the sound played when a player strikes an entity can be replaced by a file chosen in the Mod Menu settings.
What it does
HitSound lets players pick the sound that plays on each hit against an entity. Sound files in .ogg, .wav and .mp3 format can be used, and the volume and pitch of the chosen sound can be adjusted. An override option replaces the vanilla hit sounds, and changes made in the settings apply at once, without a restart or extra steps.
The mod runs on the Fabric loader and is client-side only, so no server or other player needs it. Builds cover 1.20 – 26.3, with the latest Fabric file, 1.1, made for 26.3 and published on 2026-09-20. The code is not open source; the license is All rights reserved, though the source code is publicly available.
Key features
Custom hit sound files
Players can choose hit sounds from .ogg, .wav and .mp3 files instead of the default sound.
Volume control
The volume of the hit sound is set separately, so it can be kept quiet or raised to suit the player.
Pitch control
The pitch of the chosen hit sound can be changed to give a different tone on each strike.
Vanilla sound override
An override option replaces the built-in hit sounds with the custom one across the game.
Instant updates
Changes made in the Mod Menu settings take effect right away, with no extra reload step.

Use cases
Personal sound preferences
A player who finds the default hit sound too sharp or too quiet can tune its volume and pitch in the settings.
Sound experiments
Players testing different audio files for combat can swap them in and out during play.
Who it’s for: Players who want a different hit sound in their own game. The mod changes only the client, so it fits single-player worlds and any multiplayer server, because the server does not need it.
