How to disable/Mute Cows/Chicken/Pig and other sound that you don't like.

[Ruolong]

Hello all,

I don't know if you guys know how to do this but i will make this post so maybe it could be useful to someone.

***First of all i am not responsible for anything that could happen to your Minecraft game, if you follow my instructions there shouldn't be a problem.***

**Make sure that your Minecraft game is closed **

For cows:

1. Start -> Run -> Type "explorer" (Without the " ") (Or you could go to My computer it will do the same), Hit ENTER.

2. In the address bar, type in %appdata%, Hit ENTER.

3. Now go to your folder options.
-For Win7: Organize -> Folder and search Options.
-For WinXP: Tools -> Folder Options.

4. Go to the VIEW tab.

5. Remove the check mark near -> Hide extensions for known file types , now hit OK.

6. Go to your .minecraft folder.

7. Go to the resources folder.

8. Go to the newsound folder.

9. Go to the mob folder.

10. You should now see files with the extensions ".ogg". Those are the sound files.

11. Now delete the files cow1.ogg, cow2.ogg, cow3.ogg and cow4.ogg.Don't worry about deleting those i will explain how to get the files back at the end.

12. Now right click inside that folder (on the white part, not on a file) and go to new -> Text Document.

13. Name that file cow1.ogg (It will ask you a question just click yes)

14. Now right click that files that you just named (cow1.ogg) and go to properties.

15. Put a check mark on the attribute-> "Read only"

16. Click Apply and OK.

17. Repeate step 12 to 16 for cow2.ogg, cow3.ogg and cow4.ogg

18. Now when you log into the game the files will not be able to be replaced or change so there will be no more cow sounds.

19. Enjoy the silence.


You can do the same process for any annoying mob sound in the game.
As for getting back the original sounds, just go back to the .minecraft\resources\newsound\mob folder and delete the modified files and log back into Minecraft. All those files will get replaced with original ones and the original sounds will be back.

If you have any problems just drop me a message and i will help you the best i can.


Later Ruo.

Actually found this useful. I like to hear footsteps in MC, so this is nice.

You could change footsteps into sheep or chicken sounds, more penetrating.

LOL...

You could just search for "*.ogg" in your %appdata% folder.
and either delete them or make em read-only or make em silent with a program.

Programmers do not do things the same way as the programmer next to them. There are hundreds of ways to accomplish the same goal. Whether which is efficient depends on the user.

If you delete the .ogg files the Minecraft game will replace them with a new files.

And i just made a great tutorial how to make them silent and put them in read-only attribute.

First doing it as he had said didn't work creating a new text doc and naming it "____".ogg was actually creating a file "____".ogg.txt. What I had to do was create the txt as "____" then save as "____".ogg to make it an ogg file.

What I found fun was changing my footsteps to the sound of creepers dying so everytime I walked I felt like I was squashing creeper beneath my feet. then Changing Zombies-say into sheep-say. Got just as annoying after a while but it lessened their anoyance factor, and made me laugh whenever They were near. Though eventually I went and got rid of their say's completely.

Thanks for this by the way, I was getting tired of mining in the nether and hearing ghasts Moaning ever 3 seconds as well as the freaking Pigs.

~Edit~ I decided to change the Creeper death walk into Creeper death jump so everytime I jumped and hit kinda hard I would squash a creeper instead of getting hurt. Ok Still got hurt but made me feel good about it haha

Oh last thing if your using the tekkit launcher you don't change the .minecraft folder instead you have to go into the .tekkitlauncher folder and change the newsound in whichever mod pack you are using (or all of them if you wish)
E.G. C:\Users\"user name"\AppData\Roaming\.techniclauncher\tekkit\reso urces\newsound <-- no space on resources, I'm not the one putting it there, the post is doing it without my permission, and I can't change as in the edit post there is no space-->

I'm noticing a problem with this... I took me forever to figure it out, when I removed the following files, Zombie1-3, Skeleton1-3, spider1-4, zpig1-4 and moan1-7(ghasts) and made them empty .ogg files, the game began to substitute the sounds... the files were there, were recognized as .ogg media files and everything but when they were supposed to play in game, instead of playing nothing, it would instead play some other random sound, for instance the block placement, doors opening, eating food, open doors and shutting chests. What is happening it is taken sounds you recently triggered and placing them in the void. When it first began to do this, it freaked me out, it was in SSP yet, it sounded like someone was running around me placing blocks, opening doors and shutting chests, even random explosions would go off in the distance. So i'm not sure why it's doing this, and I don't know if it's a tekkit exclusive, but it's happening, I'll record it and place it up on youtube with a link here in a minute.
