About this Mod

Backporting some sounds from modern Minecraft to 1.8.9, because the missing noises for witches and blocks were bothering me.

It creates a resource pack for you to enable. Make sure to delete that when updating so it can generate a new one!

0.9:

  • Transitioning from alpha to beta!
  • Sound logic moved client-side, so we should be working on servers now!
  • All sounds besides witch throw and lily pad placement are functional, fix for them Soon:tm:

0.8.2:

  • Carrots
  • Potatoes

0.8.1:

  • Signs
  • Lily Pads
  • Item Frame interaction

0.8:

  • Banners
  • Skulls

0.7.3:

  • Sounds no longer play on unrelated blocks and entities
  • Added breaking sounds to entities

0.7.2:

  • Sounds no longer play on failed placement
  • Corrected sound for Iron Door

0.7.1:

  • Fixed interacting with an empty hand

0.7:

  • Doors (Iron Doors make wood noises for now)
  • Beds
  • Armor Stands
  • Paintings
  • Item Frames
  • Seeds

0.6.7:

Frequently Asked Questions

SoundPort 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 SoundPort compatible with forge?

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

Server lagging with SoundPort – how to optimize performance?

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