Sound Packs

[brownlee123]

Hey guys,

So recently I've begun work on a Sound Pack for Minecraft 1.7, and I'd like some feedback.

Now, you may ask yourself, 'What is a Sound Pack anyways?'.
BACKGROUND
A sound pack is basically a Resource Pack for sounds. With the 1.6 update, textures packs were converted to Resource Packs, which could do more and had more potential. But most people haven't realized the potential for resource packs. Most still focus on textures. But play Jeoffrey's Chamber, a Single-Player map experience driven almost solely by Resource Packs, and be one with the Resource Pack.

My vision for Sound Packs is simple: you love your favorite Resource Pack (DokuCraft, Faithful, JoliCraft, etc.) but you want more. You want a better experience. So you plop in a Sound Pack and WHAM! instant immersion. Walking is more realistic. So is eating, and the music slams all sorts of emotions in your face, forcing you to realize that the mere concept of Minecraft, a man stuck in a world full of exploding green monsters, portals to hell and trying to kill a dragon is a beautiful, yet terrifying idea.

CURRENT SITUATION
As of now, the first Sound Pack is incomplete, still in its infancy. This thread will be updated as I make progress with it, but as of now I want to ask you guys some initial questions.

Is a Sound Pack something you might want?
Would you use it often if it appealed to your likes?
And what are some ideas, or concerns even, about the creation of Sound Packs?

And feedback/answers are greatly appreciated, I'm just testing the waters for what I think could be a cool thing to bring to the game!

Thanks! -brownlee123

I'm kinda interested in a sound pack, however I refuse to use any resource/texture outside of defalt. so yeah.

You can order the resource packs used. That means you can use the sound pack and the default textures at the same time, and only the sound is affected

@brownlee123 What program are you using to make the sound pack?

I will mainly be using Audacity, a "free, open source, cross-platform software for recording and editing sounds." The music and records will be from the Newgrounds Audio Portal (or other copyright-less sources), while any changed sound effects will most likely be recorded by me.

If anyone has any other questions, feel free to ask them!

By the way guys, unless like a TON of people tell me they have no want/need of a sound pack, production will continue
(It's slow - I can work almost only on the weekends...)

Here's a site you might find useful for recording/generating your own sounds.
