WoolProofed

Woolproofed

A Minecraft Fabric mod that blocks sounds when wool is placed between the sound source and the player. Perfect for creating soundproof rooms or reducing noise pollution in your builds!

Features

• Sound Blocking: Automatically blocks sounds when wool blocks are in the line of sight between the sound source and player
• All Wool Colors: Works with all 16 wool colors (white, orange, magenta, light blue, yellow, lime, pink, gray, light gray, cyan, purple, blue, brown, green, red, black)
• Configurable: Toggle sound blocking on/off with a key binding
• Smart Detection: Only blocks sounds that are far enough from the player to prevent blocking nearby sounds
• Performance Optimized: Efficient raycasting algorithm with configurable check intervals

Installation

Prerequisites

• Minecraft 1.20.1
• Fabric Loader 0.17.2 or higher
• Fabric API
• Java 17 or higher

Steps

1. Download the latest release from the releases page
2. Place the JAR file in your mods folder
3. Make sure you have Fabric API installed
4. Launch Minecraft with Fabric Loader

Usage

Basic Sound Blocking

Simply place wool blocks between yourself and any sound source. The mod will automatically detect and block sounds that pass through the wool.

Key Bindings

• B Key (default): Toggle sound blocking on/off
• You can change this key binding in the Controls menu under the “Woolproofed” category

Configuration

The mod includes several configurable options:

• Enabled: Toggle the entire sound blocking system
• Minimum Distance: Sounds closer than this distance won’t be blocked (default: 1.0 blocks)
• Check Interval: How frequently to check for wool blocks along the sound path (default: 0.5 blocks)
• Block UI Sounds: Whether to block interface sounds (default: false)

How It Works

The mod uses a raycasting algorithm to check if there are any wool blocks in a straight line between the sound source and the player:

1. When a sound is about to play, the mod calculates the direction from the sound source to the player
2. It checks every block along this path at regular intervals
3. If any wool block is found, the sound is blocked
4. If no wool blocks are found, the sound plays normally
