SoundPort

by jeedrb

SoundPort brings sounds from newer Minecraft versions back into 1.8.9, so events such as witch potion throws and lily pad placement make noise.

What it does

Version 1.8.9 lacks several sounds that later releases include, and SoundPort backports a selection of them. Sounds for witches, some blocks and some entities are restored, and sound logic has been moved to the client so it works on servers too. Breaking sounds for entities and item frame and armor stand interaction sounds are part of the list as well.

The mod is client-side only, so the server does not need it and players install it on their own game. Per the author, the sounds that are not yet functional will be fixed later. SoundPort is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, with a source code repository and an issue tracker linked from its page. Files are published for Forge on 1.8.9 only, with 0.9-beta from 2026-03-25 as the latest build, released on the beta channel.

Key features

  1. Backported sounds

    Sounds that exist in newer releases but are missing from 1.8.9 are added for witches and selected blocks.

  2. Lily pad and entity sounds

    Lily pad placement and entity breaking sounds play, and sounds no longer fire for unrelated blocks or entities.

  3. Item frame and armor stand sounds

    Interacting with item frames and armor stands produces sound, which fills a gap in the vanilla version.

  4. Resource pack output

    The mod creates a resource pack that the player enables, and it regenerates the pack when the mod updates.

What the author says

Backporting some sounds from modern Minecraft to 1.8.9, because the missing noises for witches and blocks were bothering me. It creates a resource pack for you to enable. Make sure to delete that when updating so it can generate a new one!
