Per-sound control, 3D spatial zones, real-time sound discovery — for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt
Description

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
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 soundReal 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

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 sidebarInside the menu:

Discovery Tools
Never think "what IS that sound?" again.
