Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

Minecraft 1.18.1Newest
Minecraft 1.18
Minecraft 1.17–1.17.1

⬇ Download for 1.18.1 ⬇ Download for 1.18 ⬇ Download for 1.17–1.17.1

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.

Sound Physics

Sound Physics is a Minecraft mod that uses efficient ray tracing to calculate realistic sound attenuation, reverberation, and absorption through blocks. It is fully configurable and new features are being developed all the time. It was ported to Fabric 1.17+ by vlad2305m and is maintained and developed by vlad2305m and thedocruby, featuring some improvements and contributions by daipenjer and henkelmax.

This mod is compatible with Plasmo Voice for the ultimate immersive proximity chat experience!

Notice: You may not be able to hear the effects of the mod at first. Only a very small difference is there initially, and it is hard to spot because it feels very natural. However, certain situations will make it obvious eventually. If you are still not satisfied, perhaps use a tried and tested config preset.

If You have trouble with lag when using this mod, go to the mod config and set the preset to "Performance"

[note: clear out the preset field to display all presets]

Many of the config presets are user contributed; Feel free to submit your favorite config on this page so I can create more config presets.
