Resourceful Block Sounds
What is this?
Resourceful Block Sounds allows resource pack makers to define their own block sound groups, and assign blocks to them!
Creating a sound group
- Create a JSON file and place it in the directory: assets/minecraft/rbs/groups/
.json - The content of the file should look like this:
{ "pitch": 1, "volume": 1, "break": "block.wood.break", "step": "block.wood.step", "place": "block.wood.place", "hit": "block.wood.hit", "fall": "block.wood.fall" } - To reference this sound group, you would type
"minecraft:your_sound_groups_name"whereyour_sound_groups_nameis the name of the file you created.
Changing blocks sounds
- Create a JSON file and place it in the directory: assets/minecraft/rbs/lists/
.json - The content of the file should look like this:
{ "group": "minecraft:wood", "blocks": [ "minecraft:dirt", "minecraft:grass_block" ] } - This makes it so that dirt and dirt blocks sound like wood
- All Minecraft sound groups are available to use out of the box, the complete list being:
