Shut The Noise Up!
Shut The Noise Up! is a client-side utility that switches off menu music and the narrator at game startup, so a launch is quieter and faster.
What it does
On launch, the mod turns off the loud menu music and the narrator, which otherwise start playing as soon as Minecraft opens. Players who start the game often, or who repeatedly disable music and narration while testing mods and modpacks, can skip that step each time. Mod creators and modpack developers working in IntelliJ or other development environments may find the faster, quieter startup useful.
Only the client needs the mod, so servers and other players run without it. It is built for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.8, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2. The builds cover 1.20.1 – 26.2, and the code is released under the MIT License, so it is open source with a public source repository and issue tracker. The mod is not an official Minecraft product and is not approved or associated with Mojang or Microsoft.
Key features
Menu music off at startup
Menu music is disabled automatically when the game launches, so no loud track plays on the title screen.
Narrator off at startup
The narrator is turned off during launch, so accessibility speech does not start by itself each time.
Quicker launches
Skipping the music and narrator at startup removes that work from each launch, which shortens repeated test starts.

How it compares
Shut Up Narrator is a Fabric-only client mod for 1.20.5 – 1.21.8 under All rights reserved, so its source is not open. NoNarrator is a Fabric client mod for 1.19.1 – 1.21.11 under the MIT License and is open source. No Menu Music covers only 1.20.1 for Fabric and Quilt and is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Startup Time, also open source under the MIT License, works on Fabric and NeoForge across 1.19 – 26.2, and it is the closest match in loader range.
