Hi there! Today I though: why do we need earmuffles? It is the most useless item in the game, because changing the volume from the game menu is much easier and faster! Personally I have never used them and didn't hear the others use. So I have a suggestion. Earmuffles shoud change not the types of sounds but specific sounds such as "minecraft.entity.cow.hurt". This will allow players to choose which sounds they want to turn off or make quieter. I think this feature will appeal to all. Thanks for watching :)

That would require listing every single sound in the game, which would not only make the configuration GUI an utter mess, it also takes away from the simplicity of the mufflers.

They are designed to be put on and removed in certain areas and are a lot more game-immersion worthy than going into a menu and adjusting the settings.

FWIW, adjusting volumes of individual sounds is already available in the mod "Dynamic Surroundings".
