Rare Pickup Sounds

Each item can be given its own odds of triggering a sound, from ordinary dirt at 1 in 1000 to nether stars at 100 percent. Sounds are drawn at random from a set of custom .ogg files, and the volume and pitch of each playback are randomized so repeated pickups do not sound identical. Whitelist and blacklist modes let the player choose which items are allowed to trigger sounds, and item tags such as minecraft:ores can be used to select whole groups of items.

The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need to install it, and it works on vanilla and modded servers alike. It is installed on NeoForge for 1.21.1 only, and it uses a 0.5 second cooldown and a hotbar-only option to limit how often sounds play. Armor, offhand and crafting slots can be ignored, and a full stack picked up at once does not repeat the sound. Settings can be changed in-game and reloaded without a restart, and the mod is published under the MIT License and is not open source.

Replacement sounds are added through a resource pack by placing files named rare1.ogg, rare2.ogg and so on under assets/rarepickupsounds/sounds. The mod detects the range of numbered files automatically, so gaps are skipped without error. Six sounds ship with the mod and can be overridden or replaced.
