No Cave Sounds

by EverflowingLily

No Cave Sounds silences the ambient cave noises that vanilla Minecraft plays underground, including the Cave Eerie sounds.

FabricForgeClient-side onlyAll rights reserved1.12.2 – 1.21.11

What it does

The mod replaces the vanilla cave sound files with empty ones, so underground areas play no ambient cave audio. Nothing else in the game is changed. It runs on the client alone, so players install it themselves and servers do not need it. Files are published for Fabric and Forge across 13 release versions, 1.12.2 – 1.21.11, and the code is all rights reserved, not open source.

Key features

  1. Silenced cave ambience

    Vanilla cave sounds are swapped for empty sound files, leaving the rest of the audio untouched.

  2. Cave Eerie sounds disabled

    The eerie underground tones that vanilla plays are removed along with the other cave ambience.

  3. Modpack friendly

    The author permits modpack use and redistribution, so the mod can be bundled into packs without asking first.
