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.
