WoolProofed
by snowylol_
WoolProofed is a Fabric mod that blocks sound behind wool blocks placed between a sound source and the player.
What it does
When wool stands on the straight line between a sound source and the player, the mod checks that line with a raycast and cuts off the sound that would otherwise pass through. Players can use wool walls to build rooms that keep noise out, which suits quiet builds and spaces that need to absorb sound. A key binding turns sound blocking on or off at any time.
Sound blocking only applies to sounds far enough away from the player, so nearby sounds are never muted. The raycast runs at configurable check intervals, which keeps the cost of the checks down. WoolProofed is client-side only, so it affects only the player who installs it and does not change what other players hear on a multiplayer server. Players who want the effect need the mod installed themselves. It is open source under the MIT License and runs on Fabric 0.17.2 or higher with Fabric API, on Minecraft 1.20.1 and newer.
Each of the sixteen wool colors counts as a sound blocker, from white and orange through to red and black. Its latest Fabric file, 1.0.1, targets 1.21.10 and was published on 2025-11-28. Files cover 1.20.1 – 1.21.10 across 16 release versions.
Key features
Sound blocking
Wool on the line of sight between a sound source and the player cuts off the sound that passes through it.
Soundproof rooms
Wool walls can enclose a room so that noise from outside stays out and noise inside stays in.
Sixteen wool colors
Every wool color works as a blocker, so builds can match their wool palette to their surroundings.
Toggle key binding
A key binding switches sound blocking on or off, so players can hear everything when they need to.
Smart distance check
Only sounds far enough from the player are blocked, so nearby sounds keep playing normally.
Configurable raycasting
The line-of-sight check runs at configurable intervals, letting players trade check frequency for performance.
