I want to add a sound to a block. How can I do it? I'd like to add a machine to minecraft and that should repeat the sound of itself.

I can't play the sound.

 

TestOre.java

package naburus.mod.bc_sounds;
import java.util.Random;
import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.BlockOre;
import net.minecraft.block.StepSound;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraftforge.client.event.sound.PlaySoundEffectEvent;
public class TestOre extends Block{
public TestOre(int id, Material material) {
     super(id, material);        
         setHardness(2.0F);
         setStepSound(Block.soundLadderFootstep);
         setUnlocalizedName("testOre");
         setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);        
         // How can I play my sound? <------------------------------------------------
}

}

 

Test.java

package naburus.mod.bc_sounds;
import net.minecraftforge.client.event.sound.SoundLoadEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.event.ForgeSubscribe;
public class Test {
@ForgeSubscribe
public void onSound(SoundLoadEvent event) {
     event.manager.addSound("bc_sounds:death.ogg");
}

}

 

Main.java

package naburus.mod.bc_sounds;

@EventHandler
public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) {
     TestOre_ = new TestOre(501, Material.rock);
}

@EventHandler
public void load(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
     // --> DEL
     LanguageRegistry.addName(TestOre_, "Test Ore");
     MinecraftForge.setBlockHarvestLevel(TestOre_, "pickaxe", 3);
     GameRegistry.registerBlock(TestOre_, "testOre");
     // <-- DEL    
    
     proxy.registerRenderers();
}

@EventHandler
public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event) {
}
}

Do you want it to play the sound when it gets a redstone signal? When it is placed? All the time never stopping, or what? Specifics be needed.

I'd like to do, if I put down a block, the sound does repeat itself constantly.

Hmm... Try using the "onBlockPlaced" method. Then in that do a for statement for as long as x > 0 play a sound, and then constantly add to x. Not the best method ever. But it is what I can think of off the top of my head without having tried to do this before. To actually play the sound, use this statement inside the for statement: par2World.playSound

 

 

In Block#updateTick(World,...)

use World#playSound(String,...)

then World#scheduleBlockUpdate(...)

try to set the delay to something close to the sound length in ticks.

Thank you for your exact answer, your solution is better.

Could you explain to me why this code is not working properly?

 

import java.util.Random;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.BlockOre;
import net.minecraft.block.StepSound;
import net.minecraft.client.audio.SoundManager;
import net.minecraft.client.audio.SoundPoolEntry;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.world.World;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraftforge.client.event.sound.PlaySoundEffectEvent;

public class TestOre extends Block{

    public TestOre(int id, Material material) {
    	super(id, material);           
        setHardness(2.0F);
        setStepSound(Block.soundLadderFootstep);
        setUnlocalizedName("testOre");
        setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);                 
   }  
    
    public void updateTick(World world, int i, int j, int k, Random random) {
    	world.playSound(i, j, k, "liquid.swim", 0.3f, 0.6f, false);
    	world.scheduleBlockUpdate(i, j, k, this.blockID, this.tickRate(world));
    }
}

So, the main problem is the updateTick is not running down. setStepSound(Block.soundGlassFootstep); if I step above the block it should play the sound of the glass.

public void updateTick(World world, int x, int y, int z, Random random) {
setStepSound(Block.soundGlassFootstep);
world.playSound(x, y, z, "bc_sounds:death.ogg", 0.3f, 0.6f, false);
world.scheduleBlockUpdate(x, y, z, this.blockID, this.tickRate(world));
}

So, in my understanding the updateTick at every tick runs down what it contain? Or am I wrong?

Thank you, i got it!

You don't need a TileEntity. But the updateTick needs a first call so then the ticks will be scheduled.

For example with Block#onBlockPlacedBy(...)
