Open Soundboard
by XCraftTM
Open Soundboard gives players a full-featured soundboard screen, opened with a configurable key, for playing sounds during voice chat and games.
What it does
The soundboard screen opens with the U key by default, and the key can be changed in the controls. From the screen a player can browse sounds, search them, mark favourites and move through nested folders using clickable breadcrumbs. Playback can be paused, stopped or sought along a timeline, and a sound can be looped or started from a custom point.
The mod is client-side only, so only the player's own game needs it; servers run without it. It requires Fabric API, and Mod Menu, Plasmo Voice and Simple Voice Chat are optional companions. The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric across 12 release versions, 1.21 – 26.3, with 0.5.1+mc26.3 for 26.3 as the latest file.
Key features
Browse, search and favourites
Sounds can be browsed in folders, searched by name and marked as favourites for quick access.
Playback controls
Each sound can be played, paused or stopped, and a timeline allows skipping forward or back.
Custom starting points and loops
A sound can start from a chosen point and can be set to loop on its own.
Separate local and shared volume
The volume a player hears can be set apart from the volume others hear through voice chat.

Use cases
Voice chat soundboards
Players who use a voice chat mod can play sounds into the call, with Plasmo Voice or Simple Voice Chat installed as the optional link.
Organizing a sound library
Large collections of sounds can be sorted into folders and reached quickly through search and favourites.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want a single screen for managing and playing sounds, and who run one of the supported voice chat mods if they want sounds heard by others.
