Volume Fix

by Roundaround

Volume Fix corrects how loud sounds such as thunder, jukeboxes and fireworks respond to their volume sliders in the options menu.

What it does

In vanilla Minecraft, a sound is heard only within a distance that depends on its volume, so very loud sounds are set to a high internal volume to be audible from anywhere. As a result, thunder plays at full volume regardless of the weather slider, and jukeboxes and fireworks ignore their sliders until those are turned very low. The mod caps each internal volume at 100 percent and keeps the original value to set the audible range, so sounds carry the same distance while their loudness follows the slider.

The mod is client-side only, so the server does not need it and players can join servers without installing it. It requires Fabric API on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the project lists public links for its source code and issue tracker.

Files cover 1.19 – 26.2 across 28 release versions, with 2.0.0+26.2 as the latest build for each loader. The mod is no longer updated: Minecraft 26.2 fixed the bug internally with near identical behavior, and 26.3 changed it further, so the mod is obsolete.

Key features

  1. Slider-scaled thunder

    Thunder volume responds to the weather slider instead of always playing at full volume.

  2. Jukebox and firework volume

    Jukebox and firework sounds scale across the full range of their volume sliders.

  3. Original audible range

    Sounds stay audible from the same distance as before, because the range is still set from the original volume value.

  4. Capped internal volume

    Each sound's internal volume is capped at 100 percent, while the audible range is computed from the uncapped value.

Questions

Does Volume Fix need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency on Fabric and Quilt, and the mod is installed on the client only.

Do servers need Volume Fix installed?

No. The mod is client-side only, so it has no effect on the server and players can join without it.

Is Volume Fix still maintained?

No. The author stopped updates because Minecraft 26.2 fixed the same bug internally and 26.3 changed the behavior further.

What the author says

Fix volume controls in Minecraft to work as intended. In particular, very loud sounds (thunder, jukeboxes, fireworks) should now react properly to changes in the appropriate volume sliders! In vanilla Minecraft, will only play for players within a certain distance. The distance is based on the volume of the sound…
