SoundTweaks

A client-side Fabric mod for adjusting the volume of individual sounds and blocks, independent of each other and the game's master volume.

What it does

Per-sound volume control

Every sound event gets its own volume slider, from 0% (silent) to 100% (default). Changing one sound doesn't affect anything else.

Per-block volume control

Some blocks make sounds that Minecraft's built-in categories can't separate — pistons, dispensers, note blocks, observers, and others. SoundTweaks adds its own volume layer for those. Block volumes run from 0% to 100%.

Category and object filtering

The main screen has two dropdown filters: Category (Block, Entity, Item, Ambient, Music, Music Disc, UI, Weather, Enchant, Event, Redstone, Others) and Object (the specific entity, item, or block within that category). There's a text search bar too.

Redstone is a cross-cutting category — it groups sounds from redstone-adjacent blocks (pistons, comparators, levers, note blocks, dispensers, sculk sensors, etc.) regardless of their base sound prefix.

Simple View / Detail View

Two ways to browse the list:

• Simple View — one entry per sound event
• Detail View — the individual .ogg files within each event, so you can target the exact sounds that play

Mute button

The speaker icon in the top-left mutes everything currently visible (based on your active filters). Click again to restore. Nothing gets written to your saved config — it's a temporary layer.

Presets

A preset stores a set of sound and block volume overrides. When active, its values take priority over the base config. If multiple presets are active and both define a value for the same sound, whichever deviates most from 100% wins.

Creating a preset: go to the Presets screen and click "New Preset". It starts as a copy of your current base config — only entries that aren't at 100% get carried over.

Editing a preset: select it from the list to open the detail panel. Available tabs:- Open Config Folder (Presets screen footer): opens the .minecraft/config/ folder in the system file manager.

Config files

All config is stored in .minecraft/config/ as plain JSON:

File	Contents
soundtweaks.json	Base sound volumes (key: sound event ID, value: float 0–1)
soundtweaks_blocks.json	Base block volumes (key: block ID, value: float 0–1)
soundtweaks_presets.json	All presets, active state, and favorites list

Config is saved automatically ~300ms after the last change. You can also edit the JSON files directly while the game is closed.

Volume resolution order

For any given sound, the effective volume is determined in this order:

1. Volatile mute layer — set by the mute button; cleared when toggled off or the game restarts
2. Active presets — if multiple presets define the same sound, the one with the biggest deviation from 100% wins
3. Base config — soundtweaks.json / soundtweaks_blocks.json
4. Default — 100% (no change)

How to open the UI

Press K (default keybind, rebindable in Minecraft's controls settings) to open the SoundTweaks screen.

Compatibility

• Client-side only — the server doesn't need the mod installed
• Fabric loader only
• Minecraft 26.1.2
• Does not replace or wrap the sound engine — intercepts volume at playback time via mixin
