What it does

A sound muffler block reduces the sounds that reach players within nine blocks of it. The mod is in alpha, and the author plans more muffler options and settings in later builds. Only the Fabric loader is supported, for Minecraft 1.21.1, and the single current file is 0.0.1 for 1.21.1, published 2025-12-17.

Key features

  1. Sound muffling block

    Placing a sound muffler block dampens ambient and nearby sounds in a 9 block radius around it.

  2. Alpha stage

    The mod is still in alpha, so its behavior may change between files as development continues.

  3. Planned expansion

    The author intends to add more muffler types and settings in future releases.

Soundheads is server required with client optional, under All rights reserved, and targets 1.21.9 – 1.21.10 on four loaders. Sound Muffler needs both sides, so every player and the server must run it.
