About this project

What does Modern Sound add?

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.
