Sound Control Keys
by ferriarnus
Sound Control Keys gives players keybinds that raise or lower the sound level without opening the options menu.
What it does
Players can mute, unmute, raise or lower the volume with dedicated keys during play, so the sound settings no longer have to be reached through the options screen. The current volume appears as a percentage in the top right corner of the screen. The keybinds only change the master volume. The mod is built for Forge 1.19 and runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it.
