Custom Sounds
To add custom sounds you must use a resource pack and if you want other to hear your sounds they must also have that resource pack. I have created a template that can be used to easily add sounds.
Guide
- Download the template resource pack and unzip it
- Download a
.mp3file with your desired sound - Convert your
.mp3to.ogg - Rename it
custom1.ogg- To add more sounds just rename them
custom2.ogg,custom3.oggetc. - Six sounds is the limit (8 in Extended Mode)
- To add more sounds just rename them
- Put the sound in
assets\soundboard\sounds - Zip the resource pack and put it in the
resourcesfolder of you Minecraft installation
Note: Make sure that you didn't zip the folder of the resource pack. The path to the
pack.mcmetafile should look like this:ResourcepackName.zip\pack.mcmeta
Subtitles
To add subtitles you can do this:
- Open
assets\soundboard\lang\en_us.json - Add subtitles or change button names
More Sounds
To add a few more custom sounds you can change the default ones. Simply follow the guide for adding sounds but instead of naming the files custom1.ogg, custom2.ogg etc. Name them among.ogg, smg.ogg, sui.ogg and wow.ogg.

SoundBoard server crashes on startup – what to do?
