Scandalous Soundboard
by xHookman
Scandalous Soundboard lets a player play their own audio files in game from a single key, with the sound list read from a sounds folder.
What it does
Audio and video files placed in the mod's Soundboard folder are converted automatically, and a sounds.json file tells the game which files exist in the sounds folder. Pressing Numpad 0 plays the selected sound and stopping playback is handled by the same controls. The mod can also be run as a generated jar from the command line.
Installation on Fabric is done by copying the generated jar into the mods folder, after which a Soundboard folder is created automatically on launch. The jar can be shared with friends or copied straight to a server. Client and server both need the mod, and the same sounds must be present on both sides, otherwise an error message appears. Scandalous Soundboard is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with source code published, and files cover 1.19.2 and 1.19.3, with 1.1 for 1.19.3 as the latest Fabric file from 2023-02-01.
Key features
Automatic file conversion
Audio and video files dropped into the sounds folder are converted when the game launches, so no manual preparation is needed.
Numpad 0 playback
Pressing Numpad 0 starts the selected sound, and playback can be stopped from the same key layout.
Generated jar
The mod can be built into a jar that is copied into the mods folder or placed on a server, and it can be run from the command line.
Generated sounds list
A sounds.json file is written so the game knows which files exist in the sounds folder and can play them.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Sharing sounds with friends
A generated jar carries the same sound set to other players, who need matching sounds on their side to avoid errors.
Server soundboards
Server owners can copy the jar to the server so that clients and the server share one sound collection.
Who it’s for: Players who want custom sounds on a Fabric client or server, and people who are comfortable copying files and keeping sound sets identical across installs.
How it compares
Voice Chat Soundboard is client-side only, licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and published for 1.19.4 – 1.21.4, so it does not cover the 1.19.2 and 1.19.3 files of this mod. Easy Soundboard is client-side only, with All rights reserved and no open source code, and it covers 1.16.4 – 26.3.
