Description from the author on Modrinth

✨Decibel

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

Decibel is a lightweight audio utility for Minecraft that gives you granular, precise control over your in-game soundscape. Instead of relying on broad, all-or-nothing vanilla sound categories like "Blocks," "Players," or "Hostile Creatures," Decibel adds an intuitive tweak menu that allows you to adjust the volume of individual game sounds independently.

⚙️Features:

  • Per-Sound Volume Control: Adjust or mute specific individual sound events (like nether portal hums, phantom screeches, or anvil drops) without affecting the rest of the category. Quick individual icon buttons let you instantly reset a single sound back to default.
  • Sound Presets System: Save your custom sound balances into named presets and switch between them on the fly. Easily create, apply, update, and manage custom audio profiles for PvP, building, farming, or quiet night sessions.
  • Category & Mod Filtering: Instantly filter registered sounds using dedicated tabs for Vanilla, Mods, or All to quickly find and manage audio cues added by other mod packs.
  • In-Game Search & Tooltips: Search through all sound events in real time using human-readable sound names, complete with hover tooltips displaying the exact raw resource locations (e.g., minecraft:ambient.cave).
  • Seamless Fabric Integration: Lightweight, purely client-side architecture with custom square icon texture buttons designed to blend naturally into vanilla Minecraft screens.

🛠️Compatibility & Supported Versions:

The mod is out of the box compatible with most of the Mods with optional custom compatibility available for mod developers. See more here

Loader Requirement: Fabric Exclusive. There are no plans to support Forge, NeoForge, or Quilt.

You may not redistribute, re-upload, host, or modify this project or its assets without explicit written permission. You are welcome to include Decibel in public modpacks as long as all files are downloaded directly through the official Modrinth page.
However, despite being ARR the mod's source code is still available on github. Maybe in future I will update the license to CC0.

You are allowed to port the mod to Neoforge, Forge or any other modloader. You cannot make a fabric port for higher versions but backporting is accepted. You'll have to give proper credits to the mod. And will have to follow the license.
