Extreme sound muffler in All the Mods 10

Extreme Sound Muffler is a client-side mod that lets you muffle sounds selectively. If a noise in the pack keeps getting on your nerves, you can turn it down or silence it without touching anything else in your audio.^[1]

This pack ships version 3.56, the NeoForge build for 1.21. It has been in the pack since 2.25 or earlier.^[2]

Who it's for

It's for anyone who wants a calmer game, whether that's a noisy machine hum, a repetitive ambient sound or anything else you'd rather not hear. It only changes what you hear on your own client. Installing it on a server does nothing, so you don't need to ask a server admin to set it up.^[1]

How to use it

1. Click the button in your inventory, or assign a key, to open the muffler screen.^[1]
2. Click the button next to the sound you want to muffle.^[1]
3. Optionally, drag the slider to set that sound's volume instead of silencing it fully.^[1]
4. Optionally, press the play button to check it's the sound you mean to muffle.^[1]

Anchors

Anchors are ranged mufflers. They're handy when you only want to quiet a sound in a small area. Open the muffler screen and select one of the 10 numbered buttons. Then press the marker-style button on the right panel to set the Anchor's position. You can also use the edit button next to the marker to set a name and a range. You can move the Anchor whenever you like by pressing the marker button again.^[1]

Configuration

Most of the mod is configurable. You can move the muffle and play buttons to the left or right side of the screen, disable Anchors, blacklist sounds so they don't appear in the screen, and choose the default muffle volume. You can also disable the inventory button, or hold right mouse button over it and drag it somewhere else. There's also a dark mode you can switch on in the configs.^[1]

Unverified The sources don't show any quests in this pack involving this mod, or any place for it on the ATM Star path. They also don't show whether the pack changes any of the mod's default config values.

Good news: Extreme Sound Muffler is a client-side mod, so there's nothing to craft or gather before you start. It lets you muffle sounds selectively, and you set it up entirely from its screen. Installing it on a server does nothing, because it only runs on your own game.^[1]

Unverified I couldn't confirm any in-pack recipes, items or quests for this mod, so there are no recipe blocks here. Everything below comes from the mod's project page and describes the mod's own behavior. Check the pack's config before relying on specific defaults.

Muffle your first sound

1. Click the muffler button in your inventory, or assign a key to open the screen.^[1]
2. Click the button next to the sound you want to muffle.^[1]
3. Optional: drag the slider to set the volume of that sound instead of silencing it completely.^[1]
4. Optional: press the play button to check that it's the sound you want to muffle.^[1]

The play button is worth using. Many sounds have similar names, and a quick test saves you from muting the wrong one.^[1]

Use Anchors for local quiet

Anchors are ranged mufflers. They're for when you want to muffle a sound only in a small area, such as around your machine room, while keeping it everywhere else.^[1]

1. Open the muffler screen.^[1]
2. Select one of the 10 numbered buttons.^[1]
3. Press the marker-like button on the right panel to set the Anchor position.^[1]
4. Optional: press the edit Anchor button next to the marker to set the Anchor's name and range.^[1]
5. Muffle the sounds you want for that Anchor.^[1]

Tweak the setup

If the inventory button is in the way, hold right mouse button over it and drag it somewhere else. You can also disable it in the config if you'd rather use a key.^[1]

The mod is highly configurable. You can move the muffle and play buttons to the left or right of the screen, disable Anchors, blacklist sounds so they don't appear in the screen, and choose the default muffle volume. It also has a dark mode that you enable in the config.^[1]

Extreme Sound Muffler (ESM) works differently from most mods you'll meet in a pack. It has no machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or item automation. It's a client-side mod that lets you muffle sounds selectively, and everything happens in its own screen.^[1]

Muffling a sound

You open the ESM screen with the button in your inventory, or with a key you assign yourself. From there the process is simple.^[1]

1. Open the ESM screen from the inventory button or your assigned key.^[1]
2. Click the button next to the sound you want to muffle.^[1]
3. Optional: drag the slider to set the volume of that sound.^[1]
4. Optional: press the play button to check it's the sound you actually want to muffle.^[1]

Anchors: muffling in a small area

Anchors are ranged mufflers. Use one when you only want to muffle a sound in a small area instead of everywhere.^[1]

1. Open your ESM screen.^[1]
2. Select one of the 10 numbered buttons.^[1]
3. Press the marker-like button on the right panel to set the Anchor position.^[1]
4. Optional: press the edit Anchor button, next to the marker, to set the Anchor's name and range.^[1]
5. Muffle the sounds you want for that Anchor.^[1]

You can move an Anchor whenever you like by pressing the marker button again.^[1]

The inventory button

If you don't like the ESM button in your inventory, you can turn it off in the config. If you like it but not where it sits, hold the right mouse button over it and drag it somewhere else.^[1]

What you can configure

The mod describes most things as configurable. Its project page lists these options:^[1]

• Put the muffle and play buttons on the left or right of the screen for easier visuals.^[1]
• Disable Anchors.^[1]
• Blacklist sounds so they don't appear in the ESM screen.^[1]
• Choose the default muffle volume.^[1]
• Disable the inventory button.^[1]
• Enable the dark mode for the screen.^[1]

Unverified The pack ships no config files for this mod, and no recipes or quests for it appear in the sources. I can't confirm any pack-specific option names, default values, keybinds or crafting recipes, so check the in-game settings for the actual values. This site does hold All the Mods 10's own recipes, read from the pack itself: look the item up in the item browser.
