Presence Footsteps Mod FAQ

It works automatically once installed—no activation needed. Just walk on different blocks and you'll hear surface-specific sounds; if you hear nothing, check that the mod is actually loaded and that your volume sliders aren't muted.

It reads the block beneath your feet each step and plays a matching sound from its sound set for that material. Blocks it doesn't recognize fall back to a default sound, which is why some modded blocks may sound generic.

Presence Footsteps only has sounds for materials it knows about, so unrecognized modded blocks use a fallback. You can usually assign a block to an existing sound category through its config or resource pack support.

Yes—the mod has its own volume control separate from the game's master volume. Look for its volume option in the config or the in-game sound settings to lower footsteps without affecting other audio.

Set the mod's footstep volume to zero in its config or sound settings. This silences movement sounds while leaving other audio untouched.

It's a client-side mod, so it runs on your end and doesn't need to be installed on the server. Other players won't hear your footsteps unless they also have the mod.

No—the sounds are generated locally on your client. Anyone without the mod hears the default game footsteps instead.

It's lightweight since it only plays audio based on the block you're standing on. If you notice lag, lowering the sound variety or volume in config can help on weaker machines.

Sneaking is meant to be quiet, so the mod reduces or removes footstep sounds while crouched. If you want audible sneaking sounds, adjust the sneaking-related option in the config.

It generally works alongside other audio mods, but two mods editing the same footstep sounds can conflict. If sounds break, check for overlapping sound packs or mods and disable one.

It replaces the default movement sounds with context-aware footsteps that change based on the surface material you walk on. Every block has its own assigned material and can make customized sounds.

Yes, it attempts to figure out the sounds of modded blocks by looking at the vanilla material and sound types they use. Mods with unique sounds can add their own mappings.

Shulkers make the same creaky box noises as Shulker boxes, boats sound like wood, and armor stands creak and produce a stone stepping sound from their stone slab base.

Yes, tall grass and bristles make a dry, rustling sound as you step through them.

Stepping on cake sounds like squishing frosting, as if you might destroy it.
