Minecraft Forums

I've been a Minecraft player since 1.2, and my friends and I always loved the funny hurt sound when somebody got punched. It always made me laugh when I heard through skype (as my friend John always seems to make his speakers very loud) "NO!" SSSSSSssssss... "OOH". Or a random "ooh" followed by a "God dammit I fell off the $%$%^$$ ladder."

I can honestly say that this is one of the things that makes minecraft what it is; the sheer humor of the game itself. What's next, taking away the hilarious way that a sheep looks at you when you walk up to it? Or the way that Steve looks surprisingly like a cat? I don't care about graphics like some people do...make the sun round, give the moon phases. It improves the game's visual appearance. But don't take our "ooh" :smile.gif:

Please post your opinions to keep the thread alive

This, But except for the sound being taken out this update is epic but i just can't enjoy myself hearing splat every time i get hit it lacks emotion its lacks humor. please if there was a way to switch sounds i would switch in a heartbeat of an Olympic sprinter...

I agree with you, me and my friends are always making reference to the "ooh" and it's a shame that they're removing it, although i do like the bone breaking sound aswell, maybe add both together?

Exactly. We even implemented the "ooh" into real life lol. Instead of saying ow im look ooh

Same, ive had it since alpha 1.0.0 and i dont want it gone! im too used to it!! Maybe he should add the OOh to a hit like a mob hit and the crack only to fall damage.

in my honest opinion. Certain things should make certain sounds. A cactus should make you go oooh. Falling from the top of the world should make a giant crack followed shortly by the rage of the player for having to climb back up the object only to fall minutes later. And falling in lava...... i would expect a scream of agonizing pain actually. But since its MC and not FEAR an ooh would suffice. falling a few feet should make an ooh as well.

Or add the "OOH" with the new sounds.('crack' "ooh") I want the ooh to be back though.

Agreed! =)

Finally! Someone else who hates the "splat" sounds! It just doesnt seem right :/
I miss the "ooh" :sad.gif:

i dont hate the crack. it just deserves certain times to be there. standing on a cactus is not one of them.

Poll added.

I'm guessing Notch wanted to go for more "realistic" when he added all the new sounds. The new door, tnt, bow and arrow sounds. I believe all of those sounds are a great addition to minecraft. BUT, this isn't the real world. Things don't have to sound like what they do in real life, which means explosions could still sound like something out of a corny 70's action movie, and arrows could still sound like a diving board wobbling. That's just what makes Minecraft awesome.

Because it's been around for so long, the "Ooh" has become an icon to Minecraft. Why take it away? Did some n00b complain that the hurting sound was "omg so gaaay"? Why take away a sound that has been in the game since the time Steve could get hurt?

By having the "Ooh" I believe people could sympathize with Steve. He was just like us. He could get hurt, just like us. He could make vocal noises, just like us. We're here today to mourn the loss of Steve's personality. He is now reduced to a bunch of bones cracking, and fists fwapping. Even the enderman has more personality than Steve does.

I hope that Jens or someone would bring the "ooh" back, the new player damage sound is not the greatest. And correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the new damage sound used for something else?

Not sure about that, but i know i enjoy the ooh

It's a frikkin sound just get a copy of the old .ogg file and copy into the correct directory and quit spamming the forums up with useless snit.

It's not the same...If i'm the only one with the sound because i modded the jar, nobody else will hear it! And how am i spamming by making one thread?

If you didn't notice, not alot of Minecraft players are tech-savvy and know how to modify their minecraft.jar file. I'm not saying that I don't, but every time you update your Minecraft, you're going to have to re-modify the .jar file. It's just a waste of time, and if this many people are complaining about it then the obvious thing to do would be to fufill their needs and bring the old hurt sound back.

True. It doesn't make sense. If you fall three meters only, you break bones? No, you scream in pain. If you get burned, so you make a disgusting bone-breaking sound? No, you scream. If you get hit by an arrow, you brake bones? No, you scream.

Quote from Artezza Trigger

The only two sounds I didn't like in the sound update are the lack of "OOH" and the weak, new arrow noise. I'd really like to see hear them come back.

I like the realistic bow sound, actually. But i can say that "ooh" should be back :tongue.gif:

The new sounds are starting to grow on me actually.

Only thing I don't really like is the tool breaking sound..otherwise I'm fine with them.

I WANT MAH OOF BACK!
