StartupTone
by KSmc's Team
StartupTone plays a notification sound when the game launches and the main menu first appears, and only the client runs it.
What it does
When the game starts and reaches the title screen, the mod plays one notification sound. The default is the Windows XP startup sound, and the file is named st-sound.wav inside the config folder, so replacing that file changes what players hear. The code is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric and Forge, both for 1.20.1.
Key features
Startup sound on launch
The sound plays once when the game opens and the main menu first appears.
Replaceable sound file
The sound is read from st-sound.wav in the config folder, so a different recording can be substituted.
Single-purpose design
The mod does one thing and changes nothing else in the menus or gameplay.
