About this Mod

Configurable Audio Emitters Mod
🔊 Sound Blocks
Sound Blocks allows builders and map makers to place invisible, fully configurable audio sources in the world to create immersive atmospheres. Whether you need the hum of a server room, the buzzing of a transformer, or spooky cave winds, this mod handles it all without complex commands.
✨ Features
Invisible Emitters: The Sound Block acts like a Creative Light Block. It is invisible and has no collision, making it perfect for hiding in builds. It only becomes visible when you hold the Sound Block item.
Full GUI Configuration: Right-click the block (while holding the Sound Block item) to open an easy-to-use menu via Cloth Config.
🧰 Customizable Settings
Sound Selection: Searchable dropdown menu.
Looping: Set sounds to repeat automatically.
Random Delay: Add random pauses between loops for more natural ambience.
Volume, Pitch, & Range: Fine-tune exactly how the sound is heard.
Redstone Support: Power the block with redstone to activate/deactivate the sound.
Custom Sound Support: Add your own audio files without making a resource pack!
📂 How to Add Custom Sounds
Run the game once to generate the config folders.
Go to your Minecraft (Or Profile folder if on Modrinth or similar platform.) folder: .minecraft/config/sound-blocks/custom_sounds/
Drop your .ogg audio (Must be in mono format to have sound attenuation working.) files into this folder.
Restart the game.
Your sounds will automatically appear in the "Sound Selection" dropdown inside the block!
