Extreme Sound Muffler FAQ

Press the mod's configurable hotkey (check your Controls settings for the Extreme Sound Muffler keybind) to open the in-game interface. From there you can browse sound events and mute or attenuate them individually.

Open the interface with its hotkey, find the sound event you want to silence in the list, and toggle it off or lower its volume. Changes apply immediately and are saved to your client config.

Yes — it's client-side, so it works on any server without needing to be installed server-side. It only affects what you hear, not other players.

First check that the hotkey isn't conflicting with another mod's keybind in Controls. If the interface opens but sounds still play, make sure you're muting the correct sound event and that the mod is loaded for the right Minecraft version.

Your mute list is saved in the client config, so if entries disappear the config may not be writing properly — check for a read-only config folder or a mod conflict. Re-adding the sound and confirming the change persists before closing the game helps narrow it down.

Yes — the mod filters by individual sound event, so you can silence one mob's idle sound without affecting its hurt or death sounds. Each event is toggled separately in the list.

No. It's purely client-side, so muting a sound only changes your own audio — other players still hear everything normally and the server is unaffected.

The interface and hotkey work the same across supported versions, but the sound event list differs because each Minecraft version has different sounds. If a sound you want isn't listed, it may not exist as a separate event in that version.

No noticeable impact — it only filters audio events client-side and doesn't touch rendering or world logic. If you're seeing lag, it's almost certainly another mod.

Open the interface and find the sound in your muted list, then toggle it back on or restore its volume. The change takes effect immediately without needing to restart.
