Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the mod?
The mod works automatically once installed—there's nothing to enable in-game. Just place and click note blocks as normal, and sounds will play client-side instead of waiting for the server.
Why do my note blocks still sound delayed on a server?
The mod only affects sounds triggered on your own client, so note blocks played by other players or by redstone you don't directly interact with may still come through the server. Make sure the mod is actually loaded on your client, since it does nothing if it's only on the server.
Why do I hear note block sounds twice?
Doubling happens when both the client-side sound and the server-relayed sound play. The mod includes sound filtering to suppress the server duplicate, but if you still hear echoes, check that no other sound-related mod is also intercepting note block events.
Does this mod work in singleplayer?
Yes, it reduces lag and makes playback snappier in singleplayer too, though the effect is most noticeable on multiplayer servers with latency.
