Wracking my brain and losing sleep so I need a sanity check!

 

I have a custom mob, based on EntityZombie (EntityBeavis)

 

• I created the "sounds.json" file at the root of my asset folder (testmod) [example below]
• put the ogg file in the sounds folder  (beavis_cornholio.ogg)
• sounds folder is in 'assets/testmod'
• called the custom sound by overriding the "playLivingSound" method referencing modid:event ("testmod:beavisliving")

 

When I run the code, the error I get is "Unable to play unknown soundEvent testmod:beavisliving

 

I know its gotta be something stupid but I'm just not seeing it.

 

EntityBeavis.java

package net.chonacky.minecraft.mod.testmod.bb;


import net.chonacky.minecraft.mod.testmod.Main;
import net.minecraft.entity.monster.EntityZombie;
import net.minecraft.world.World;

public class EntityBeavis extends EntityZombie {


	private String livingSound = Main.MODID+":beavisliving" ; //MODID = "testmod"

	public EntityBeavis(World worldIn) {

		super(worldIn);
		this.setCustomNameTag("Let's Burn Something!");
		
	}
	
	@Override
	public void playLivingSound() {
		
	 this.playSound(livingSound, this.getSoundVolume(), this.getSoundPitch());

	}
	
}

 

Here is the sounds.json file:

{
"beavisliving": 
	{
	"category": "master",
	"sounds": 
		[{"name":"beavis_cornholio"}
		]
	}
}

 

1.7.10 is no longer supported here.

Asked and answered: Due to the number of different project folders I have (1.7.10, 1.8.9, 1.11.1) I was editing the wrong sounds.json file.

The one shown above is correct and works.
