Looking for Speedbuilders Mod for Minecraft 1.8.9

Hi Paul (or anyone who might remember this mod),

I recently stumbled across an old utility mod called Speedbuilders haxx that appears to have been created by Paul. I only have a copy of the mod built for Minecraft 1.9, but I’m currently working with 1.8.9, which is a bit more compatible nowadays.

While running the 1.9 version, I saw this message in the console, which is actually how I rediscovered the mod and ended up on this website:

[09:01:33] [Client thread/INFO] [FML]: Forge Mod Loader has successfully loaded 4 mods
[09:01:33] [Client thread/INFO]: Reloading ResourceManager: Default, FMLFileResourcePack:Forge Mod Loader, FMLFileResourcePack:Minecraft Forge, FMLFileResourcePack:**Speedbuilder Haxx**

[09:01:34] [Thread-10/INFO]: Initializing LWJGL OpenAL

After some digging, I found a listing for the mod on OpenEye (OpenEye - Speedbuilder Haxx Minecraft mod by detectorcent), which confirms that a version for Minecraft 1.8.9 did exist:

speedbuilders-haxx-1.5.2.jar (Released: 2019-05-27 for Minecraft 1.8.9)

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to locate a download for that version. If anyone still has it or knows where it might be archived, I’d really appreciate a copy, and would love to test it out and make sure it’s preserved.

Thanks in advance!

Actually, I didn’t write any mods. What I wrote is the 3D Sound System library, which Notch used as the 3D audio engine when he originally developed Minecraft (see the credits here)

My library basically had a “use however you like” license, with only one requirement – that I didn’t need to be credited, but if I was, then my website (paulscode.com) must also be mentioned. Notch adhered to this one requirement by keeping the Java console log messages that you posted above when Minecraft shuts down.
