How to Add Your Own Custom Death Sound Files

You can replace default alerts with any custom audio—including funny clips or scary noises from other games—by loading your own .ogg files into the mod.

Preparing and Adding Audio Files

Before adding custom sounds, open Minecraft's Options, select Resource Packs, and make sure DeathSound-Resources is moved to the active column. Without this pack enabled, custom warnings will not function properly.

Next, prepare the audio clip you want to hear when a nearby player dies:

1. Ensure the audio file is saved in the .ogg format, which Minecraft uses for sound assets.

2. Rename the file using all lowercase letters. Avoid capital letters entirely, as newer game versions require strict lowercase naming to recognize sound files.

3. Open your mod menu interface in Minecraft, select Death Sound Mod, and open the custom sound menu.

4. Click the Open Sound Folder button to bring up the correct directory on your computer.

5. Drag and drop your lowercase .ogg files directly into this folder.

Selecting Your Active Warning

Return to the game window and browse the list inside the custom sound menu. Click on your newly added file to set it as your active death warning. Once selected, that exact audio clip will play whenever another player falls within your render distance.
