Block Sounds

Applying Sounds ​

The sounds parameter in RP/blocks.json is used to determine general block sounds, such as the mining sound, step on sound, breaking sound, and placement sound.

You can apply a set of sounds to your block using this parameter:

{
    "format_version": "1.21.40",
    "wiki:chestnut_log": {
        "sound": "wood" // Define sound here
    }
}

Adding Custom Sounds ​

Giving your custom block its own set of sounds can help your block feel unique.

First, let's choose a name for the custom block sounds. We strongly recommend giving this identifier a namespace to avoid incompatibilities with other add-ons.

For example, let's imagine we were creating a custom chestnut woodset; we would name the custom block sound wiki:chestnut_wood. This is the sound value that should be used in RP/blocks.json.

{
    "format_version": "1.21.40",
    "wiki:chestnut_log": {
        "sound": "wiki:chestnut_wood"
    }
}

Base Block Sounds ​

• break is triggered when the block is broken.
• hit is triggered when the block is hit, such as when being mined by a player.
• place is triggered when the block is placed by a player.

{
    "block_sounds": {
        "wiki:chestnut_wood": {
            "pitch": 1,
            "volume": 1,
            "events": {
                "break": "block.chestnut_wood.break", // Sound shortname from "RP/sounds/sound_definitions.json"
                "hit": "block.chestnut_wood.hit",
                "place": "block.chestnut_wood.place"
            }
        }
    }
}

Interactive Block Sounds ​

The following sound events can be defined in the interactive_sounds section of RP/sounds.json.

• fall is triggered when an entity falls onto the block from more than 3 blocks above.
• jump is triggered when a player jumps off the block.
• land is triggered when an entity falls onto the block from up to 3 blocks above.
• step is triggered when an entity moves on top of the block.

{
    "block_sounds": {
        "wiki:chestnut_wood": {
            ...
        }
    },
    "interactive_sounds": {
        "block_sounds": {
            "wiki:chestnut_wood": {
                "pitch": 1,
                "volume": 1,
                "events": {
                    "fall": "block.chestnut_wood.fall",
                    "jump": "block.chestnut_wood.jump",
                    "step": "block.chestnut_wood.step",
                    "land": "block.chestnut_wood.land"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
