About BetterSounds
This pack uses complex sound randomisation methods, as well as a huge number of new sounds, to improve the various soundscapes of Minecraft.
The sound files that make up BetterSounds are taken from my main project, Caelesti which is a completely custom texture pack featuring this same list of sounds.
List of Features
- Improved weather using a huge list of randomised rain sound effects
- Improved lightning sound effects
- Improved thunder sounds with differing volume and duration
- Improved beacon sound effect with custom shut off sound
- Classic player hurt sounds rarely playing
- Classic door sounds playing in place of the modern door sounds 50% of the time
- Classic bow firing sound which is separated from the snowball, egg, and similar sound effects
- Custom crossbow sound effect
- Custom Enderman teleportation sound effects
- Ghast sounds have been entirely reworked, with massive reverb to add to the ambience of the nether
- Nether portals will rarely play a distant ghast sound effect, as if the sound has slipped through the portal
- Nether portals now only broadcast their sound in an 8-block radius
- Custom chainmail equip sound effect
- Realistic sounds for the chicken
- Realistic death sound for the pig
- Realistic and creepy sounds for spiders
- Custom arrow impact sound
