[![Download number across all platforms](https://www.modpackindex.com/badge/mod/83594/audio-improvements/downloads.svg?color=green)](https://www.modpackindex.com/mod/83594/audio-improvements) [![Number of mod packs using this mod](https://www.modpackindex.com/badge/mod/83594/audio-improvements/modpacks.svg?color=blue)](https://www.modpackindex.com/mod/83594/audio-improvements) **Note:** Currently, due to lack of time, I'm only occasionally working on the Fabric & Forge versions for 1.20.1. Mod versions for other Minecraft versions (& NeoForge) have been released but you may encounter some issues, as they are outdated. I plan to make an updated version of the mod for latest Minecraft, but no ETA! # Features ### Mono audio option -> Stops sounds from being affected by the direction you're looking in while still becoming quieter when further away -> Options for different categories: Jukeboxes, note blocks, weather, blocks, hostile mobs, neutral mobs, players, ambience/environment *(only mono jukeboxes and note blocks enabled by default)* ### Music disc distance multiplier -> 50% - 300% or global *(100% by default)* ### Music clash prevention -> Fades out the regular game music while a music block is playing near you -> Toggleable seperately for jukeboxes and note blocks *(both enabled by default)* -> Customizable fade in/out durations ### Music repeat prevention *(enabled by default)* -> Prevents the same music piece from playing multiple times in a row ### Custom music frequency *(disabled by default)* -> Replaces the vanilla music frequencies with a customizable random interval -> Option whether this should also affect the main menu music ### Speed of sound simulation -> Delays sounds based on how far their source is from you -> Options: - Thunder sounds *(100 blocks/second by default)* - Explosion sounds *(100 blocks/second by default)* - All other sounds *(disabled by default)* ### Doppler effect *(100% intensity by default)* -> Pitches sounds up/down depending on how fast the distance between you and them changes -> Doesn't work on mono sounds due to sound engine limitations ### Fix for vanilla bug [MC-98200](https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC/issues/MC-98200) (Sound category volume sliders not affecting the volume of certain sounds at higher percentages - e.g. music discs already reached 100% volume at 25% category volume) ### Stereo spatialization fix *(enabled by default)* -> Fixes resource pack and mod audio that incorrectly uses stereo files for in-world sounds by converting them to mono, so the sound engine can then correctly position it instead of always playing directly at the listener # Settings This mod is made to be highly customizable! The settings can be opened via the [Mod Menu](https://modrinth.com/mod/modmenu) mod on Fabric, the inbuilt mod lists on NeoForge and Forge or generally by using the command "/audioimprovements". 24f2ca4277202ca7ccda007eaea9da67dc9b30a2.png
