SoundLog
by KCl
SoundLog records each sound Minecraft plays on the client, with its ID, event name, volume, pitch and the resolved file path.
What it does
Each time the client starts a sound, SoundLog writes an entry to the game log under the soundlog tag. Each entry lists the sound ID and the event name used with playsound, the category such as BLOCKS, MASTER or PLAYERS, the volume and pitch, and the resolved file path, which is the actual .ogg after resource pack resolution. Logging can be switched on and off with F8, and it is enabled by default.
A copy of the same entries is written to soundlog.txt, placed in the game root directory, which is the .minecraft folder or the instance folder. The mod is useful for resource pack authors checking which file a sound resolves to, and for anyone trying to find the ID of a sound they heard in the game. Installation needs only Fabric, and the mod is client-side only, so servers do not need it. Files exist for 26.2 alone, released under CC0 1.0 Universal and open source, with source code and an issue tracker linked from the project.
