sounds.yml

sounds.yml

One sound effect per spawner action. The smallest config file, and the easiest to customise.

Reloads with /spawner reload.

Format

<sound key>|<volume>|<pitch>

Part	Notes
sound key	Namespaced (minecraft:ui.button.click) or a legacy enum name (UI_BUTTON_CLICK). Both work.
volume	Float. 1.0 is normal. Above 1.0 mostly increases the audible distance, not loudness.
pitch	Float, 0.5–2.0. 1.0 is normal, higher is sharper.

Volume and pitch are optional and default to 1.0, so minecraft:ui.button.click on its own is valid.

Set a value to empty to mute that event:

  COLLECT-LOOT: ''

An unrecognised sound key is silently ignored — nothing plays and nothing is logged. If a sound does not work, check the spelling against the vanilla sound list first.

Sounds are played to the acting player, at their own location.

Rewarding sale

  SELL-SUCCESS: minecraft:entity.player.levelup|0.7|1.4

Keep the volume down — players sell often, and a loud level-up chime gets old fast.

Quieter filter clicks

  FILTER-TOGGLE: minecraft:ui.button.click|0.4|1.0

Resource-pack sound

Any namespaced key your pack provides works:

  SELL-SUCCESS: myserver:ui.cash_register|1.0|1.0

Players without the pack simply hear nothing for that event.
