Startup Sound

by SpinalThread360

Startup Sound plays a sound when the game opens, timed to start about half a second after Minecraft launches.

What it does

The mod plays a startup sound once the game has begun loading. Its timing is set to land roughly half a second after Minecraft starts, so the sound is heard as the window appears. It runs on the client only, so a server does not need it and players join without installing anything extra. The NeoForge build targets 1.21.1 and is released under All rights reserved, which makes it closed source.

Key features

  1. Startup sound

    A sound plays when Minecraft starts, giving the launch an audible cue.

  2. Timed playback

    The sound begins about half a second after the game starts, rather than at the first frame.

  3. Client-side install

    Only the player's client loads the mod, so it can be added to a single-player or multiplayer setup without server changes.

Questions

Does Startup Sound need FancyMenu installed?

No, it is not required. FancyMenu can interfere with the mod, so the two are worth checking together if both are installed.

What the author says

This mod loads the sound from config/fancymenu/assets/audio.wav. You do not need FancyMenu, If you don't have fancymenu, just make the folders fancymenu/assets/ in config and drop your startup sound named audio.wav in there (case sensitive as it is a file path).
