Good evening,
With the addition of 1.6's Resource Packs, a whole new level of customization has been added to Minecraft, for mappers, artists and regular players alike. The ability to customize any sound in the game, and then some, is a incredible addition to the Vanilla MineCraft experience, but there is something that has been poking at me for the past few months.
Anyone with experience of Hurricaaane's wonderful, amazing, incredible, any other positive adjective, Sound Pack Manager, Audiotori, knows, along with everyone else who will soon know the consequences of changing the Bow firing sound to, for example, that of a firearm firing.
After doing this, doing something as simple of heaving a snowball could result in the outbreak of war between nations, due to their sounding like automatic weapon fire. This is also true for thrown splash potions, and the coveted Bottles of Enchanting.
Now I ask of you, people of Minecraftia?to consider the segregation of these two sounds: bowfiring, and throwing.
Thank you for your attention, and may the odds be ever in your favour. Goodbye.
tl;dr
snowballs, potions and XP Bottles use same sound as bow firing
change this
I support you, good sir! The potatos are on your side in this! +1 for you! +1 for you! I mean, if you're throwing a snowball, why should it sound like a gun? It should sound like someone heaving, like when Steve is hit with that "Oomph!" sound!
I was doing the exact same thing when I realized that. I added a gun sound to our Fallout resource pack when I realized every thrown object sounded the same ... Splitting all the sound files for this would be really great.
