Testing Combat, Consumable, and Block Sounds Before a Match

Setting Up a Quick Audio Test

Before joining a competitive server, it helps to familiarize yourself with the altered audio cues in a singleplayer Creative world so the new sounds do not catch you off guard during a fight.

1. Create or load a Creative mode world and open your inventory.

2. Grab a sword, a pickaxe, some stone and dirt blocks, food items, a Healing Potion, and TNT with Flint and Steel.

3. Spawn any passive or hostile mob to act as a combat target.

Reviewing the Replaced Sounds

Work through each category of changed sounds so you know what to listen for in combat:

• Combat Actions: Swing your weapon in the air to hear the custom Swinging sound, then strike the mob to hear the updated Hitting audio cue.
• Block Interactions: Place down the stone and dirt to hear the Block Placing audio. Mine the dirt for the general Block Breaking sound, and mine the stone to hear the specific Stone Breaking effect.
• Consumables and Explosions: Switch to Survival mode temporarily (or take damage) to test the Eating sound with food and the Healing Potion audio when restoring health. Finally, ignite the TNT to hear how Explosions sound with the pack active.
