SoundBoard
by TheOnlySD12
Players who want their own sounds in the game can use SoundBoard, a Fabric client mod that plays custom audio clips from a sound board screen.
What it does
SoundBoard adds a client-side sound board that plays custom sounds on demand. Players open it from the main menu, where the mod's icon leads to its settings. Light and dark themes change the look of the screen, and Normal, Compact and Extended modes change its layout to fit different preferences.
Sounds are added through a resource pack built from a template the mod provides. Audio can be prepared from an .mp3 file, converted to .ogg with an online converter, and renamed to match the names the pack expects, such as custom1.ogg or wow.ogg. Subtitles can be added for each sound, and a pack can also replace the default sounds. Following the guide and naming the files as described keeps the sounds in their correct slots.
SoundBoard is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric only. Its latest file is 1.1 for 1.20.2, and files cover 1.19.2 – 1.20.4, released between 2022-08-12 and 2023-12-10. The mod runs on the client alone, so players join servers without installing it. A server-side version also exists for Paper and Purpur, which lets players share favorite sounds with each other.
