About this project

What does SoundCategoryFix add?

SoundCategoryFix

SoundCategoryFix is an essential utility mod for Minecraft designed to fix issues related to sound categories and game crashes when running large modpacks.

🛠️ What Does It Do?

Many modern Minecraft mods introduce custom sounds, audio settings, and dynamic sound adjustments. However, when multiple mods try to register or manage sound categories simultaneously, it can often lead to conflicts, improper sound routing, or even severe game crashes due to missing or overlapping sound category definitions.

SoundCategoryFix steps in to properly organize, manage, and stabilize sound categories under the hood. It ensures that custom sounds from various mods are correctly categorized and handled by the game engine, preventing crashes and ensuring a smooth, bug-free audio experience.
