AmbientSounds Mod is available in loader-specific builds, so Forge, Fabric and NeoForge users need to pick the file made for their own setup. This guide shows what to match before launching Minecraft.
The project lists multiple loaders
AmbientSounds currently lists Fabric, NeoForge and Forge support. That does not mean one JAR works across every loader; use the file built for your setup.
Why loader names matter
Mod loaders provide different APIs and packaging expectations. A loader-specific filename is a strong signal that you should not substitute another build.
Switching loaders is not a simple file swap
If you change a Minecraft instance from one loader ecosystem to another, re-check every mod and dependency, not only AmbientSounds.
Use a small test set first
For troubleshooting, test AmbientSounds and CreativeCore in a clean matching instance before adding a large mod collection.
