Sound Physics: Aeronautics
Sound physics for your Sable physics
About this Mod
Sound Physics Aeronautics
Sound Physics Aeronautics is a fork of Sound Physics Remastered built around Create Aeronautics and Sable moving sublevel acoustics.
This mod integrates previously "ignored" Sable sub-levels and Create contrpations to the geometry of Sound Physics Remastered. It also adds the doppler effect, long range propeller audio, and more.
Do not install Sound Physics Remastered alongside SPR Aeronautics. Use one or the other.
If you are not using Aeronautics or at least Create, the original Sound Physics Remastered by henkelmax is probably the better choice.
What This Adds
Moving Acoustics
Moving sublevels can contribute their rotated and moving geometry to acoustic checks, letting Sound Physics effects behave naturally around Aeronautics vehicles and Create contraptions like trains.
Depending on the situation, this can affect:
- sound muffling through ship hulls
- exterior vs interior sound behavior
- acoustic obstruction from moving sublevel blocks/contraptions
- positional audio from machinery mounted on moving ships
- sound behavior while the listener or source is on a moving craft
Long-Range Aeronautics Propellers
Large, high-RPM Aeronautics propellers can carry far beyond vanilla range. Vanilla Aeronautics propellers have a sound range of just 48 blocks. SPRA scales that range up to 1024 blocks depending on propeller size and speed!
They appropriately become softer and more distant with range, turning into a subtle background presence instead of assasulting your ears.
Optional Distant Horizons LOD terrain checks for very far propellers, allowing aircraft behind DH mountains or ridges to sound quieter.
For best results: use SSRD and Distant Horizons
Doppler Effect
SPRA adds a Doppler effect for positional sound sources, fully configurable.
When a supported source moves toward or away from the listener, its pitch can shift based on relative motion. Neat, huh?
What Changed From Sound Physics Remastered
Major changes include:
- Sable sublevel and Create contraption acoustic support
- long-range propeller, thruster, and train audio
- Distant Horizons far-sound occlusion
- Doppler support for selected positional sources
- Reworked sound reflections
- Multipathing "portal" sound system
Known Limits
This is a fork! This means you cannot have Sound Physics Remastered and SPRA installed at the same time! The upstream SPR mod needed too much work done to allow for an addon style mod.
SPRA is, naturally, a bit heavier on performance. Think of it as shaders for sounds. The mod defaults to a medium preset which can be lowered or raised depending on your hardware.

Sound Physics: Aeronautics server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong neoforge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Sound Physics: Aeronautics compatible with neoforge?
Sound Physics: Aeronautics officially supports neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.21. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Sound Physics: Aeronautics – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Sound Physics: Aeronautics consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
