Hi! My mod contains some custom sounds, that work perfectly fine, because they’re properly registered. I have a custom block entity. On right click it open a screen with textbox where you can type in a name (e.g. snd1). The player/mod user has a custom texture pack containing the sound file named snd1 and a proper sounds.json containing an entry for snd1. A custom entity should now in some situations play the custom sound which name has been entered by player.  At the moment the code I use for an entity to play the sound looks like this: (the filename it gets from the block entity)

ResourceLocation resource1 = new ResourceLocation(MyMod.MOD_ID + ":" + filename);
SoundEvent se1 = new SoundEvent(resource1);
entity.playSound(se1, 1.0f, 1.0f);

It works fine in singleplayer. As soon as I test it on server it kicks the player when it tries to play the sound and gives the following error: 

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can't find id for 'net.minecraft.sounds.SoundEvent@937bd60' in map Registry[ResourceKey[minecraft:root / minecraft:sound_event] (Experimental)]

See full debug log.

Registering the sounds with DeferredRegister during RegistryEvent is not possible because I do not know how many sounds will the player have and what their names would be.

 

What can I do to get it working on the server? Is it even possible? Thanks in advance.

I mean, if the sound isn't in the mod itself, you can't expect anyone else to be able to hear it. You would need to register a sound event for it. You could work your way around it in numerous different capacities, but they would require the player to download the sound through another client, which is a security issue and will not be supported here. The best we can provide guidance on is only have it play for the specific client.

This post solves the issues.
