Registering custom sound

[Tonyenike]

Sound file is registered, but when I use the /playsound command, no sound is playing.

 

ModSounds.java:

@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = ExampleMod.MODID, bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD)
@ObjectHolder(ExampleMod.MODID)
public class ModSounds {

	public static SoundEvent epic_music;
	

    
    /**
     * The actual event handler that registers the custom items.
     *
     * @param event The event this event handler handles
     */
	@SubscribeEvent
	public static void registerSounds(RegistryEvent.Register<SoundEvent> event){
		ResourceLocation yeet = new ResourceLocation(ExampleMod.MODID, "epic_music");
	    epic_music  = new SoundEvent(yeet).setRegistryName(yeet);
		final SoundEvent[] soundEvents = {
				epic_music
		};
		event.getRegistry().registerAll(soundEvents);
	}

}

the sounds.json file is in src/main/resources/assets/examplemod/sounds.json

{
  "epic_music": {
    "category": "master",
    "sounds": [
      {
        "name": "examplemod:epic_music",
        "stream": true
      }
    ]
  }
}

 

The sound file is called epic_music.ogg and is in src/main/resources/assets/examplemod/sounds/epic_music.ogg

The epic_music.ogg file is a 9.5 minute speech file.

 

ExampleMod.java

@Mod("examplemod")
public class ExampleMod
{

    // Directly reference a log4j logger.
    private static final Logger LOGGER = LogManager.getLogger();
	public static final String MODID = "examplemod";

    public ExampleMod() {

        // Register ourselves for server and other game events we are interested in
        MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(this);
    }


    // You can use SubscribeEvent and let the Event Bus discover methods to call
    @SubscribeEvent
    public void onServerStarting(FMLServerStartingEvent event) {
        // do something when the server starts
        LOGGER.info("HELLO from server starting");
    }
    
}

 

The game recognizes the examplemod:epic_music sound when I go to enter the /playsound command, but no sound is playing

That is a good question but unfortunately I don't know how to register sound...

Correct me if I'm wrong. I also had this problem but I fixed it by passing all of the parameters in the command.

Dont use static reference and try to use DeferredRegister, it should to be able to register Sounds.
