Better Sound Mixer
Adds fine-grained volume controls for mobs, players, music, ambience, and individual sounds.
Controls
Section titled “Controls”The settings screen opens with B by default. Rebind it in Controls if another mod uses the same key.
First-time workflow
Section titled “First-time workflow”- Press
Bto open the mixer. - Set broad groups such as hostile, friendly, neutral, player, music, and ambience first.
- Open detailed controls only when a specific sound event or mob needs a different level.
- Trigger the real sound after editing; the result is combined with Minecraft’s standard master volume.
- Reset one category when it becomes difficult to identify which override changed a sound.
Recommended way to learn the mod
Section titled “Recommended way to learn the mod”Start in a single-player test world or an approved server area. Change one option at a time, reproduce the same action, and keep the previous value in mind. This makes it much easier to identify whether a behavior comes from this mod, Minecraft, or another client mod.
Profiles and shared settings UI
Section titled “Profiles and shared settings UI”When the screen is provided by Simple GUI API, use tabs to move between feature groups and profiles to keep separate value sets. Save or apply the current page before leaving it. A profile changes settings; it does not replace the installed JAR or create a separate Minecraft instance.
Multiplayer notes
Section titled “Multiplayer notes”This mod does not override server rules. Features that automate input, reveal client-side information, or change how actions are presented may be restricted by a server. Test with the server owner’s rules in mind, and disable the feature when uncertain.
Daily checklist
Section titled “Daily checklist”- Confirm the feature’s toggle after joining a world.
- Confirm that the active profile is the intended one.
- Recheck key conflicts after adding another mod.
- If behavior changes after an update, compare with default settings before reporting a bug.
