Sound6
by LumiLovesYou
Sound6 is a Fabric and Quilt social mod that adds a six-button in-game soundboard for playing sounds during roleplay, opened with the V key.
What it does
The soundboard is a simple menu opened with the V key. Six round buttons each play one sound from a set of sound IDs, and closing the menu follows the click. Keys 1 to 6 press the matching button, running clockwise from the top, while keys 7 to 9 lower or raise the volume.
Below the six sound buttons sit three volume buttons. Hovering over a volume button shows the level it will set, and clicking one applies that value and closes the menu. The sound and volume buttons are defined in a sound6.json file in the config folder, so layout, labels and sound IDs can be changed without editing code. Edits take effect in the game without a relaunch.
Sound6 is installed on the server, and a player who joins a server that runs it can use the menu if they have the mod too. It is required on the server and optional for players. The mod is released under the MIT License as open source. Builds are published for 1.21.8 – 1.21.9, with 1.1.0 for 1.21.9 as the latest file on both Fabric and Quilt, and snapshot builds are published as well.
