Audio Engine Tweaks Mod (1.21.11, 1.20.1) – Declutters Minecraft’s Sound Pool

Minecraft’s audio engine is complicated. To explain in simple terms, the game has a specific number of sounds that can be played at an instance. If the actual number of sounds exceed this set value, any successive sound is eliminated from playing. This means, depending on the situation that you are in, the game may not play some sounds. Audio Engine Tweaks Mod (1.21.11, 1.20.1) enhances the sound system and introduces a priority system for sounds.

Features:

Priority-Based Sound Management:

The mod introduces a dynamic sound scheduling system in Minecraft, categorizing sounds based on priority and distance from the player. Lower categories imply higher priority, ensuring that important sounds take precedence.

Optimized Sound Pool Handling:

To prevent the sound pool from becoming overloaded, the mod employs a fill level threshold. Sound types are selectively allowed to play based on the current fill level of the sound pool. If the pool reaches capacity, successive sounds are intelligently skipped, with built-in rules to avoid unintended scenarios.

Duplication Control for Immersive Experience:

The mod enhances the player’s auditory experience by implementing a duplication check. Only a predetermined number of instances of the same sound, occurring within the same coordinate (1 square block), are allowed each tick. This control ensures a realistic and immersive audio environment without overwhelming repetition. Additionally, instant playback of sounds categorized as MASTER and MUSIC types is facilitated, prioritizing these critical elements in scenarios such as Main Menu or GUI interactions.

How It Works

Each tick, sounds are collected and categorized by type.
- Lower category = higher priority.
- Within categories, sounds are sorted by distance from the player.
Depending on the sound pool fill level, only certain sound types are allowed to play. Others are skipped.
- If the pool somehow fills completely (shouldn’t happen with thresholds), new sounds are skipped entirely.
Duplication check:
- Only a limited number of identical sounds can play from the same coordinate (1 block).
- Extra duplicates are skipped.
MASTER and MUSIC sounds bypass the queue and duplication check (important for main menu or GUI events when the server is frozen).
- They still follow fill-level thresholds.
- Other categories, if requested to play instantly, are instead deferred to the next tick.
All values are configurable through ModMenu or by editing the config file directly.

Default Settings

MASTER    : cat 0, always allowed
VOICE     : cat 0, always allowed
PLAYERS   : cat 1, up to 95%
HOSTILE   : cat 2, up to 90%

NEUTRAL   : cat 5, up to 60%
