SoundTweaks lets you control the volume of every individual sound in the game — from the click of a button to the rumble of an iron golem. You can also control volume per block, so a noisy piston farm doesn't have to ruin your experience.
Everything is saved per-world-session and persists across restarts.
Note
SoundTweaks is a client-side only mod. It does not need to be installed on the server.
