Sounds

Use this website to convert your file (mp3, wav...) to ogg.

Creating the sound

New Method

{% hint style="warning" %}

This requires ItemsAdder 4.0.12 or greater. Scroll down for older versions.

{% endhint %}

Simple sound

Put the sound file in contents/my_sounds/sounds/sound_1.ogg.

info:
  namespace: my_sounds
minecraft_lang_overwrite:
  my_lang_overwrite:
    entries:
      sound.sound_1: "Sound 1"
    languages:
    - ALL
sounds:
  sound_1:
    path: bruh
    settings:
      subtitle: sound.sound_1

Jukebox song (Minecraft 1.21.1 and greater)

{% content-ref url="jukebox-disc.md" %} jukebox-disc.md {% endcontent-ref %}

Old Method (ItemsAdder 4.0.10 and lower)

Click to read the old method

Step 1

  • create a new folder ItemsAdder/contents/my_sounds/resourcepack/my_sounds/sounds/
    (or use yours if you already have one)
  • put your .ogg file in there.
    You can also create more folders inside sounds to organize your sounds.
    For example effects, music etc...

I have a file named song_1.ogg and I put it into a new music folder.
So now I have contents/my_sounds/resourcepack/my_sounds/sounds/music/song_1.ogg

Step 2

  • open the folder contents/my_sounds/resourcepack/my_sounds/
  • create a new file named sounds.json (or open it if you already created it)
  • this file is a .json file so you MUST write it correctly or it won't work.

To add your sound into the file you just have to do this:

{% code title="contents/my_sounds/resourcepack/my_sounds/sounds.json" %}

{
	"music.song_1":{
		"sounds":[
			"my_sounds:music/song_1"
		]
	}
}

{% endcode %}

Now I explain each part of the code I wrote

This is the sound name. You will use it in every part of the plugin and also in Minecraft vanilla /playsound command.

"music.song_1":{

This is the list of sound files Minecraft will play when you call the sound name.
Minecraft will play one of these sounds randomly (only if you set more than one sound).

{% hint style="warning" %} Keep in mind that you have to change my_sounds to your own namespace name if it's different! {% endhint %}

"sounds":[
    "my_sounds:music/song_1"
]

For example if you want to have random sounds for the same sound name you just have to create multiple .ogg files and put them like this:

"sounds":[
    "my_sounds:music/song_1_variant_1",
    "my_sounds:music/song_1_variant_2",
    "my_sounds:music/song_1_variant_3"
]

How can I add multiple sounds in the sounds.json file?

It's easy, the next time you want to add a sound you just have to add a comma at the end, like this.
(I'm referring to line 6 comma)

{
    "music.song_1":{
        "sounds":[
            "my_sounds:music/song_1"
        ]
    },
    "music.song_2":{
        "sounds":[
            "my_sounds:music/song_2"
        ]
    }
}
