About this Mod
🎧 AudioEnginePlus
The ultimate audio optimization engine for modern Minecraft.
AudioEnginePlus is a high-performance sound engine designed to revolutionize how Minecraft handles audio. It doesn't just play sounds; it manages them intelligently to ensure a stutter-free, immersive, and performant experience.
✨ Key Features
🚀 Performance Optimization
- Smart Sound Pooling: Efficiently reuses sound instances to minimize native memory allocation and Java Garbage Collection spikes.
- Audio Deduplication: Intelligently merges identical sound events playing at the same time and location, reducing noise clutter and CPU overhead.
- PCM Caching: Decodes audio off-thread and caches the data, preventing the common "audio-stutter" when many sounds start at once.
🔉 Advanced Sound Management
- Audio LOD (Level of Detail): Dynamically scales sound quality and processing frequency based on the player's distance, ensuring critical sounds are crisp while distant ones are optimized.
- Async Processing: Moves heavy audio calculations and decoding away from the main game thread.
- Native Memory Tracking: Advanced monitoring of native memory usage to ensure stability and prevent crashes.
🤝 Compatibility & Integration
- ModMenu & Cloth Config: Easily tweak every aspect of the engine through a user-friendly configuration screen.
- Sound Physics Remastered: Built-in compatibility to work seamlessly alongside physics-based audio mods.
🛠 Why AudioEnginePlus?
Vanilla Minecraft's sound engine can struggle in complex scenarios—like massive raids, busy servers, or with many sound-heavy mods. AudioEnginePlus bridges this gap by introducing modern game audio techniques to the Fabric ecosystem.
📜 Installation
- Install the Fabric Loader.
