Customizing Death Sound Volume, Pitch, and Timing
Whether you use built-in alerts or your own imported .ogg files, you can tune how every death cue sounds so it fits cleanly into combat without overwhelming other game audio.
Accessing the Audio Controls
Open the mod menu interface in Minecraft and select Death Sound Mod from your list of installed utilities. From its configuration screen, navigate to the sound settings menu where the audio adjustment options are located. All changes happen directly on your client, meaning you can tweak them before or between matches on any server.
Balancing Volume, Pitch, and Timing
Inside the settings menu, you have three main properties to customize your active death sound:
- Volume: Raise this setting if subtle audio cues get lost behind explosions and sword hits, or lower it if loud custom sound files startle you during quiet exploration.
- Pitch: Shift the pitch higher or lower to change the tone of your chosen audio. Lowering the pitch makes an effect sound deeper and heavier, while raising it makes the alert sharper and faster.
- Timing: Adjust the timing control to change when the audio cue triggers after a nearby player meets their end, letting you line up your sound clip with the moment they fall.
