Startup Chime

by ZhuRuoLing

Startup Chime plays a sound of the player's choice each time Minecraft launches, using a custom chime.ogg file placed in a folder the mod creates.

FabricClient-side onlyGNU General Public License v2.0 or laterOpen source1.21 – 1.21.1

What it does

Once installed, the mod creates a directory named startup chime inside the .minecraft folder the first time the game runs. A player puts a chime.ogg sound file into that directory, restarts Minecraft, and hears the file during game startup. Changing the sound means replacing the file and launching the game again, with no settings screen involved.

The mod is a Fabric client mod that works only on the player's side. Servers do not need it, and players joining a server gain nothing from it. Files are published for Minecraft 1.21 and 1.21.1, and the latest build for 1.21.1 is 1.0.0, dated 2024-08-18. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Custom startup sound

    Plays a chime.ogg file from the startup chime folder whenever the game starts.

  2. Automatic folder setup

    Creates the startup chime directory in .minecraft after the mod is installed and the game is launched.

  3. Swap by file replacement

    Changing the chime requires only replacing chime.ogg and launching Minecraft again.

  4. Startup-only playback

    The sound plays during game startup and is not tied to gameplay events.
