Old Piston Sound Engine
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
A mod bringing back the OLD old piston sounds. Pre 1.14, along with the "cut off" of the piston sounds, when too many pistons fire in the same gametick.
Keep in mind, this may not work perfectly 100% of the time!
To toggle these settings or show their state dont add arguments do:
/oldpistons cutoffPistons [true/false]
/oldpistons changePistonPitch [true/false]
/oldpistons cutoffSmoothLastPiston [true/false]
/oldpistons pistonSoundThreshold [int]
/oldpistons cutoffTime [int]
