### \u2728 Key Features<\/p>\n
* **\ud83d\udd0a 3D Spatial Sound Radar:** Don’t know the exact name of an annoying sound? Press **`Y`** to toggle the 3D Sound Radar! It dynamically visualizes playing sounds directly in your world, placing their IDs exactly where the sound is coming from in 3D space.
\n* **\u25b6 In-Menu Sound Testing:** Preview sounds before you change them! In Advanced or Mods mode, simply click the **`\u25b6`** button next to a sound to hear what it is.
\n* **\u26a1 Global Golden Toggles:** Instantly mute or adjust the volume of **ALL** block breaking, block placing, footsteps, hitting, or mob hurt sounds with a single click at the top of the Basic list.
\n* **\u2b50 Favorites System:** Mark your most-used sounds with a \u2605 star to quickly find them later. Favorite sounds persist across sessions and can be filtered instantly.
\n* **\ud83d\udd0d Smart Filtering:** Easily find what you need using the built-in search bar, Category buttons (`Mobs`, `Blocks`, `All`), or cycle through three filter modes:
\n * **All Sounds** \u2014 the full list
\n * **Edited Only** \u2014 shows only sounds you’ve changed (muted or volume-adjusted)
\n * **Favorites Only** \u2014 shows only your \u2605 starred sounds<\/p>\n
### \u2699\ufe0f Three Unique Control Modes<\/p>\n
Press **`V`** to open the main menu and switch between three powerful viewing modes:
\n1. **Basic Mode:** Keeps things simple. Changes are applied to groups of sounds (e.g., tweaking `minecraft:zombie` affects all zombie-related sounds). Perfect for quick, general adjustments.
\n2. **Advanced Mode:** Unlocks ultimate precision. See and adjust every specific sound event in the game individually (e.g., mute `stone.break` but keep `stone.place`).
\n3. **Mods Mode:** Automatically detects your installed mods (like Create, Farmer’s Delight, etc.) and gives you a neat sidebar to manage their custom sounds without cluttering the vanilla list.<\/p>\n
### \u2328\ufe0f Default Controls
\n* **`V`** \u2014 Open the Sound Control Menu
\n* **`Y`** \u2014 Toggle the 3D Sound Radar<\/p>\n
*(Both keys can be changed in the standard Minecraft Controls menu).*<\/p>\n
### \ud83c\udf10 Language Support
\nFully translated into **12 languages**: English, Ukrainian, Spanish, German, French, Polish, Simplified Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, and Italian.<\/p>\n

### \u2753 FAQ<\/p>\n
**Does this mod need to be installed on the server?**
\nNo. Sound Control is **100% client-side** \u2014 just drop it in your mods folder and you’re good to go, even on vanilla servers.<\/p>\n
**Does setting volume above 100% actually make sounds louder?**
\nYes! The slider goes up to **200%** and genuinely increases loudness. The mod raises OpenAL’s max gain limit and multiplies the volume at engine level, so cranking a sound to 200% makes it noticeably louder than normal.<\/p>\n
**I set a global toggle to mute all footsteps, but one specific sound still plays. Why?**
\nIndividual sound settings **override** global toggles. If you previously adjusted a specific sound (e.g., `stone.step`), that setting takes priority. Reset it with the **\u27f2** button to let the global toggle work again.<\/p>\n
**Does “Reset All” delete my favorites?**
\nNo! It only resets volumes and mutes. Your **\u2605 starred sounds are kept**.<\/p>\n
**Why is the \u25b6 play button greyed out?**
\nYou’re in **Basic Mode**. Sound previewing only works in **Advanced** and **Mods** modes \u2014 switch at the bottom-left of the menu.<\/p>\n
**Does Sound Control work with Create \/ Farmer’s Delight \/ other mods?**
\nYes! The mod automatically detects **every sound** registered by any mod. Switch to **Mods Mode** and you’ll see a sidebar listing all mods that add custom sounds \u2014 pick one to manage its audio separately.<\/p>\n
**Will this conflict with other sound mods?**
\nIn most cases, no. Sound Control hooks into Minecraft’s sound engine at a low level via Mixin. Standard content mods (Create, Supplementaries, etc.) don’t touch the same code, so they work together perfectly. Conflicts are only possible with mods that also modify the core `SoundEngine` or `SoundManager` classes.<\/p>\n
**Where is the config file saved?**
\nAt `.minecraft\/config\/soundcontrol.json`. It’s a clean JSON file you can safely edit by hand or back up. Sounds reset to default are automatically removed to keep the file compact.<\/p>\n
**Muted sounds don’t appear on the 3D radar \u2014 is that a bug?**
\nNo, that’s intentional. If a sound’s effective volume is 0%, the radar skips it since there’s nothing to locate.<\/p>\n
**How does the 3D radar work exactly?**
\nSound labels float **in the world** at the exact position where the sound is playing \u2014 not as a flat HUD list. The mod projects each sound’s 3D coordinates onto your screen through the camera’s projection matrix, so labels move as you look around, just like nameplates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
This mod lets you control all in-game sounds. Press V to open the menu and adjust each sound individually. Increasing a sound above 100% doesn\u2019t make it louder, but expands the distance it can be heard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":145811,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"sound_control","_minecraft_project_id":"NWZnn5Ai","_minecraft_author":"lilaktt","_minecraft_license":"Apache-2.0","_minecraft_downloads":1707,"_minecraft_follows":13,"_minecraft_client_side":"required","_minecraft_server_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"sound_control.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":37613428,"_minecraft_version_count":58,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-17T01:05:41.371012Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2026-03-24T20:17:20.026612Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-05-10T17:16:51.894517Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/sound_control","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":145811,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-08T17:32:37+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"055a9c7533b14399b47a9dded519f577","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[97,89,158,98,92],"mod_loader":[99,160,100],"minecraft_version":[59,36,62,37,40,41,73,74,38,78,79,80,81,82,83,167,163],"class_list":["post-145810","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-fabric","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-neoforge","mod_category-quilt","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-fabric","mod_loader-neoforge","mod_loader-quilt","minecraft_version-1-20","minecraft_version-1-20-1","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-10","minecraft_version-1-21-11","minecraft_version-1-21-2","minecraft_version-1-21-3","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5","minecraft_version-1-21-6","minecraft_version-1-21-7","minecraft_version-1-21-8","minecraft_version-1-21-9","minecraft_version-26-1","minecraft_version-26-1-1","minecraft_version-26-1-2"],"yoast_head":"\n
