Hi, I'm having some trouble playing vanilla sounds in my client. I'm trying to play them at the players location when an event is fired using this code:

Minecraft.getMinecraft().theWorld.playSoundEffect(event.pos.getX(), event.pos.getY(), event.pos.getZ(), "thunder" , 1.0f, 1.0f);

 

However, my sound event isn't firing with the thunderclap sound.

 

Any help appreciated, thanks!

Hi

 

Try these, taken from EntityLightningBolt

            this.worldObj.playSoundEffect(this.posX, this.posY, this.posZ, "ambient.weather.thunder", 10000.0F, 0.8F + this.rand.nextFloat() * 0.2F);

            this.worldObj.playSoundEffect(this.posX, this.posY, this.posZ, "random.explode", 2.0F, 0.5F + this.rand.nextFloat() * 0.2F);

 

You will need to do it on the server, not the client.  Playing the sound through World on the client does nothing.  You can play a sound locally using other methods

eg    Minecraft.getMinecraft().getSoundHandler().playSound(sound);

but then nobody else on the server will be able to hear it.
