About this Mod

Modern Sound

Modern Sound includes performance and quality-of-life tweaks for the sound system to give the player a seamless experience.

Main features:

Faster sound loading

Loads the sound system asynchronously, improving the games load time and prevents lag spikes when a device is disconnected

Auto-reloading

Automatically reloads the sound system when a device is lost / a new one connected so you don't have to F3 + T (which can take a while especially on big modpacks)

Manual sound reloading

Adds a button to the music & sounds options where you can manually reload just the sound system

Note: You may have to restart your game after installing the mod for it to take effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Modern Sound server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge 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 (1.8.9). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Modern Sound compatible with forge?

Modern Sound officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.8.9. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Modern Sound – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Modern Sound 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.
