Jacob's Audio Tapes

FINAL ENTRY, 1990: DO NOT LISTEN.

This mod is now part of Jacob's Tapes!

Hey everyone, thank you for visiting this mod page! Jacob's Audio Tapes and Jacob's Video Tapes have merged into one mod, Jacob's Tapes. Everything this mod did exists there. If you don't want the picture half, you can switch Picture off on the first page of that mod's settings and you have the audio-only experience you know.

Moving Migrating:

1. Remove the Jacob's Audio Tapes jar from your mods folder (Jacob's Tapes refuses to load next to it).
2. Install Jacob's Tapes.
3. That's it - your Audio Tapes settings are expected to carry over as they are.

Since I'm retiring the audio only mod, this page won't get new updates. The old versions will stay up here for anyone who needs them, but new fixes and features will land in Jacob's Tapes moving forward. Thanks to everyone who listened to the tape - it's not over yet. Now, onto the rest of the description!

Versions: Forge 1.19.2 / 1.20.1 / 1.21.1 - Fabric 1.20.1 / 1.21.1 - NeoForge 1.21.11 / 26.1.2 / 26.3

Requires: Fabric API (Fabric only). Cloth Config is optional and adds an in-game settings screen.

This mod is a sibling mod to my Jacob's Video Tapes mod. With both installed, they share one tape, so the sound and picture glitch together!

Overview

This mod aims to capture the analog sound of the pre-00s era, and makes every sound in the game sound like it's playing off a worn-out, probably cursed cassette someone found in an attic. It starts out calm, just a little hiss and wobble… and slowly gets worse the longer you listen.

Features:

• Client-Side Only
• Worn-Out Tape: Tape hiss, hum and crackle, wobbly pitch, and sounds that slowly drift out of tune while they play.
• Glitches: Stutters, tape hiccups, tracking errors, and crunchy, corrupted (sometimes reversed) copies of sounds.
• Phantom Sounds: Is… there… someone there? Yes.
• Escalation: It gets worse at night, in the dark, underground, at low health and the longer you play, with the occasional sudden spike.
• Tape Stop: The tape winds down when you pause or die, and spins back up after.
• Every Sound: Music, records, weather, blocks, mobs, players, ambience, voice, and even other mods' sounds - each one can be toggled or turned up/down.
• Config File: Customize the overall strength, how fast things escalate, each effect and glitch, the phantom sounds, and which sounds get touched at all.

Spoiler / Hints

The footsteps aren't the only thing down in the caves with you. If you hear someone mining nearby while you're playing alone... you're probably still alone. Probably.

Warning:

This mod affects every sound in the game on purpose, including music and the menus. If you're playing with headphones on, the corrupted sounds and static bursts can get crunchy - turn things down (or off) in the config to your personal taste.

Feedback/Suggestions are welcome - thanks for checking it out, I hope it adds to your experience!

Known Bugs:

None known at the time - please report if any are found.
