SoundHandler
by Zettos
SoundHandler lets a player adjust the volume, pitch and mute state of individual sounds in Minecraft, and the changes apply without replacing vanilla assets.
What it does
Players can fine-tune sound effects one at a time. Each sound can be given its own volume, pitch or full mute, and a search filter helps find a sound by its ID. Sounds are grouped by category, including blocks, items, entities, user interface, music and ambient noise, so a whole group can be handled together. A global toggle turns all overrides on or off at once.
The mod intercepts sounds as the game plays them and applies the personal settings through lightweight client-side overrides. It does not swap or edit resource pack files, so no modified assets are needed. Choices made in the mod are saved on the local machine and still apply the next time the game is launched. Fabric API is required, and the mod is published for Fabric only, in files for 26.2.
Because it runs on the client alone, it suits single-player players and multiplayer players who want quieter surroundings without changing what the server sends. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Per-sound volume and pitch
Volume and pitch can be set for each individual sound effect, leaving every other sound unchanged.
Full mute for unwanted sounds
A sound can be muted completely, which helps when one noise is annoying but the rest of the audio should stay.
In-game preview
Changes to a sound can be heard immediately in the game, so adjustments do not need a restart.
Category management
Sounds are managed by category, covering blocks, items, entities, user interface, music and ambient noise.
Search and global toggle
A filter locates sound IDs by name, and one global switch enables or disables every override.
