Sound Physics Perfected

by RedLifedev

Sound Physics Perfected replaces occlusion-based audio with ray-traced audio, where rays are cast from the player rather than from each sound source.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.20 – 26.3

What it does

Reverb is computed from traced rays and applied through OpenAL, so the room the player stands in shapes how sounds echo and fade. The mod is built on the framework described in a video on ray-traced audio by Vercidium.

It requires YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) on every loader. Settings are placed in the in-game menu, so a separate config file is not needed. The mod runs on the client alone, and it is released under the MIT License as open source for 1.20 – 26.3.

Key features

  1. Ray-traced reverb

    Rays cast from the player measure surrounding geometry and feed reverb parameters into OpenAL playback.

  2. Player-centered tracing

    Tracing starts at the listener instead of each sound source, which the author describes as more efficient.

  3. In-game settings

    Options are exposed through the game menu, with YACL providing the settings screen.

What the author says

A Ray Traced audio implementation in Minecraft by RedDev (me). This is dissimilar to Sound Physics mod because the raycasting is cast from player rather than sound sources (which is theoretically more optimized). Reverb is as accurate as possible using OpenAL. Mod is developed based on the framework discussed in the…
