Big modpacks bring a lot of music – and not all of it fits together. Quiet Please lets you decide, track by track, what you actually want to hear.

Every music track in one list

All the music in your game, vanilla and modded, grouped by the mod it comes from. On every row:

• On / Off – turn a track off and the game simply picks another one instead
• Volume – set each track anywhere from 0 to 100 %
• Mod volume – one slider in each mod header turns all songs of that mod up or down at once
• Play button – preview the track right in the panel (background music pauses while you listen)
• Star – keep the song in a Favorites group at the top of the list

On top of the list:

• Enable all / Disable all – switch off every track of a mod with one click
• Search box, Mod filter and Ambient – find a track fast, or also show the long ambience loops
• Now playing bar – the song you hear right now, with a Skip button next to it

Your own background playlist

Press Playlist and pick the songs and their order, like a music player.

• Every song in the queue has play now, move up, move down, loop and remove buttons
• A song leaves the queue once it has played; turn on its loop button to keep it in its place
• When the queue reaches the end, it starts again from the top
• Suggested on the right: your favorites, songs you added before and well-known Minecraft songs. One click adds a song to the end of the queue, and hovering shows why it was suggested
• Shuffle and Clear at the bottom
• Boss, dragon and credits music still interrupt the playlist

Always know what is playing

Press Esc and the current song is right under the Quiet Please button, so you can find a song even if you don't know its name. One click opens the panel.

A popup when a new song starts

When a new song starts, a small card slides in with the song name and the mod it comes from, then slides out again.

• Six positions, distance from the edge, size and how long it stays
• Song and mod name colors, bold or italic text, shadow and background
• The icon, the mod name and the little equalizer can each be turned off
• Drag the example card in the popup settings to put it exactly where you want it

Music that fits the moment

• Jukebox – background music turns down or mutes while a music disc plays nearby, and comes back when the disc ends
• In background – turn the music down when you Alt+Tab out of the game
• In combat – turn the music down when you take damage or a hostile mob is close, so you can hear the fight
• Fade in/out – songs start and end softly instead of cutting in and out
• No repeats – the last 5 or 10 songs are skipped when the game picks the next one
• Favorites – songs with a star come up 2, 3 or 5 times as often, even without the playlist
• Fade on skip – Skip turns the song down smoothly; press it again to stop it at once

Shorter silence between songs

• Music gap – Vanilla, Short, None or Custom with your own shortest and longest wait. It only changes background music; dragon, credits and boss music are not affected
• Turn the now-playing text, the menu buttons or the song popup off
• Turn playlist mode on or off, and choose whether ambient tracks show in the list
• Popup settings… and Music behavior… open the two screens above
