    About

    Sound Culling is a client-side Minecraft mod that reduces repetitive audio clutter in busy areas such as farms, spawner rooms, and machinery, without changing gameplay or requiring installation on a server. It tracks recent sounds across nearby spatial cells and weighs factors such as repetition, source activity, category, distance, direction, and overall event rate to decide whether to dampen a sound or stop it before an audio channel starts. As sound activity rises, adaptive limits can become more aggressive, while per-source fairness keeps one noisy machine from consuming the regional sound budget. Looping and tickable sounds are reevaluated with gradual volume changes, and player feedback sounds receive added protection during ordinary culling. Music and relative sounds, including interface audio, are excluded from culling. The mod offers Balanced, Performance, Aggressive, and Custom presets, plus settings for adaptive thresholds, category limits, spatial tracking, priorities, and logging. Its Live Sounds inspector shows recent sound IDs and activity statistics, and lets players create rules to protect sounds, adjust their priority, or always cull them; wildcard patterns can target individual sound groups or entire mod namespaces.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked its files without running them.

    What it can do on your computer

    Creates settings files
    The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 1 file in your config folder.

    Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.

    How we checked · All 20 latest files checked, last on 24 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      20 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 18 for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
    • Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.

    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.
      Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
    • Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.
      The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.

    Privacy

    We found nothing it sends, in the 17 of its 18 files we read

    We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.

    Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.

    How we checked · 17 of 18 files read
    • Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.

    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.
      Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.

    AI

    AI was used for its code

    The author declares AI code on Modrinth.

    We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.

    We have not read its code history yet.

    No sign of AI in the game

    We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
