[HyperHamster]

I tried that also, it still doesn't play my sounds

	return isAngry() ? ModSoundEvents.terrakonGrowl : rand.nextInt(3) == 0

Your

sounds.json

and registering code looks correct as they are here.

 

My experience is that when you try to play a sound using the SoundEvent object returned from the registering method, it just doesn't work. I had to retrieve the SoundEvent directly from the registry using something like this (adapted for your mod):

playSound(entityName, entityName.getPosition(), SoundEvent.soundEventRegistry.getObject(new ResourceLocation(ModReference.modid, "entity.terrakon.bark")), SoundCategory.NEUTRAL, 1.0F, 1.0F);

 

Edit: Well nevermind then, I'm glad you got it working. I unfortunately have no clue how to implement sound subtitles as of yet.

That wasn't the reason why it didn't work, I simply forgot to put the registering method in my main class.

To give a sound event a subtitle, set the

"subtitle"

key of the sound event in sounds.json to a string containing the translation key. An example from the vanilla sounds.json file:

  "item.shovel.flatten": {
    "sounds": [
      "item/shovel/flatten1",
      "item/shovel/flatten2",
      "item/shovel/flatten3",
      "item/shovel/flatten4"
    ],
    "subtitle": "subtitles.item.shovel.flatten"
  },

That worked, thanks!
