I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
Earplugs is a lightweight client-side Minecraft mod that allows you to change game volume using custom keybinds. It provides on-the-fly audio control without the need to open the settings menu. You can easily adjust master volume with keybinds, lower or increase sound levels instantly. It is the perfect solution for anyone looking to change game volume with hotkeys.
