Audition

Audition is a specialized audio optimization mod for Minecraft, enhancing sound processing without changing vanilla audio aesthetics.

It works exclusively on the client side.

With the mod installed, you can expect significantly reduced lag spikes during sound-heavy situations like mob farms, redstone contraptions, or crowded areas.

Even in a single-player, Minecraft's sound system can create substantial CPU overhead when many sounds play simultaneously. By optimizing how sounds are processed, batched, and prioritized, Audition frees up your computer's resources to focus on other tasks, resulting in smoother gameplay and improved responsiveness.

The careful design ensures that important audio cues remain audible while strategically optimizing background and distant sounds that would otherwise consume CPU resources unnecessarily.

Installation

Make sure you have the latest version of Fabric Loader installed and then simply drop the mod into your mods folder. Fabric API is required. No additional setup or configuration is necessary, and you don't need to create new worlds to benefit from the optimizations.

Commands

Audition provides a few simple commands to interact with the mod:

/audition debug - Toggles the performance overlay showing real-time optimization statistics
/audition stats - Displays current sound processing statistics in chat
/audition reset - Resets all sound optimization counters

Configuration

Audition includes a straightforward configuration system available in your .minecraft/config/audition.json folder. This allows you to control the three main optimization systems:

Dynamic Mixing - Intelligently batches similar sounds
Adaptive Quality - Reduces sound quality for distant sounds
Spatial Optimization - Skips complex positional audio calculations for off-screen sounds

The configuration file is automatically generated with performance-optimized defaults that work well for most players.

Permissions

Yes. You can use this mod in your mod packs, in fact, I encourage you to add it.
