A lightweight datapack that brings sound effects to your toolbar (hotbar).
About this Mod
Overview
Give the toolbar some subtle presence with this lightweight data pack. Plays tweaked Vanilla sound effects while scrolling through the toolbar (switching items on the hotbar), with different category sounds for:
- "Blunt" swords (wood and stone)
- Bow and crossbow
- Potions
- Shield
- Swords (the sharp ones)
- Tools (axes, hoes, pickaxes, and shovels)
Works on Singleplayer and Multiplayer worlds, and is built to be extensible to support mod items through future compatibility packs.

Toolbar Sounds server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong datapack 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 (26.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Toolbar Sounds compatible with datapack and fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?
Toolbar Sounds officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Toolbar Sounds – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Toolbar Sounds consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
