🔊 Sound Control
Complete per-sound control, 3D spatial zones, and real-time discovery tools — for Fabric, NeoForge, and Quilt.
Ever wondered which sound is coming from where? Tired of that one machine noise? Sound Control lets you manage every sound individually, pin overrides to zones in 3D space, and identify unknown sounds on the fly — including sounds from other mods.
⚓ Sound Anchors — Spatial Audio Zones
No other Minecraft sound mod has this. · Currently available on Minecraft 26.1.x and 26.2 only · Support for older versions is planned.
Create sound override zones directly in your world:
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Shape modes | Sphere (radius) or Box (W × H × D) |
| Sound overrides | Sounds auto-mute inside the zone |
| 3D boundaries | Toggle visible outlines of each zone |
| Management | Enable/disable and rename anchors freely |
| Persistence | Zones survive restarts and world reloads |
| Mod support | Works with any modded sound |
Real use cases:
- 🔇 Mute the nether portal hum only inside your base
- 🏭 Silence a noisy Create factory without affecting the area around it
- 🌙 Build quiet zones for custom maps or roleplay servers
🎛️ Complete Sound Management
Press V to open the main menu and switch between three control modes:
| Mode | Best for |
|---|---|
| Basic | Adjusting sound groups (e.g. all zombie sounds at once) |
| Advanced | Individual control of every sound event in the game |
| Mods | Auto-groups sounds from installed mods (Create, Farmer's Delight, etc.) into a sidebar |
Inside the menu:
- ⚡ Global Toggles — mute all footsteps / block breaks / mob hurt sounds in one click
- ⭐ Favorites — star your most-used sounds, persisted across sessions
- 🔍 Smart Filter — switch between All / Edited Only / Favorites Only
- ▶️ In-menu Playback — preview any sound before changing its volume
- 📋 Copy Sound ID — click a sound name to copy its ID to clipboard (green ✔ confirms)
🕐 Recent Sounds
Automatically tracks every sound played during your session:
- Full per-entry controls: Play/Stop · Mute · Volume · Favorite ⭐ · Reset ⟲
- Add sounds directly to Anchors — heard an annoying sound? One click to zone-mute it
- Clear history at any time
🔍 Discovery Tools
Never think "what IS that sound?" again.
Press Y to cycle through three overlay states:
| State | What you see |
|---|---|
| 1st press | 3D Sound Radar — spatial overlay of all sounds playing around you |
| 2nd press | SoundList Overlay — all sounds the block/entity at your crosshair can emit |
| 3rd press | All overlays off |
The SoundList Overlay pulls directly from the game registry — works for vanilla blocks, mobs, and any modded entity.
