Orbital Railgun Sounds
by HyIsNoob
Orbital Railgun Sounds gives the Orbital Railgun mod its own audio: a client-side addon that plays three sound effects tied to the weapon's use.
What it does
The addon introduces three core sounds: one when the railgun is drawn or equipped, one when the scope is switched on, and one when the weapon shoots. Sounds also play when the player switches to the railgun on the hotbar, when aiming starts while right-click is held, and when the shot is actually fired after the cooldown starts. Only the client needs it, so the server can run without it while players who install it hear the effects.
The mod requires Geckolib and Orbital Railgun, and it works alongside the Sounds Addon for Orbital Railgun. Dynamic Surroundings, Mod Menu and Sound Physics Remastered are optional. It is published for Fabric only, with 1.4.1 for 1.20.1 as the latest file released on 2025-12-06, and it bundles owo-lib. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the project has a public source repository and issue tracker.
Key features
Hotbar switch sound
A sound plays when the player selects the railgun on the hotbar, marking the weapon as active.
Aiming and scope sounds
Holding right-click starts an aiming sound, and a separate sound plays when the scope is turned on.
Firing sound with cooldown
The shot sound plays only when the railgun truly fires, and a cooldown-start sound follows the release.
Volume and sound toggles
Each of the scope, shoot and equip sounds has its own volume setting, and individual effects can be switched off in the config screen.
Config screen through Mod Menu
The settings screen is reached through Mod Menu when that mod is installed.
