📌 Notes
Avoid spawning large numbers of mobs nearby — the pack is designed around natural mob density, and overcrowding will cause audio to pile up
Best experienced with headphones 🎧

❓ FAQ- Contact me via discord: justmelain
Why do I hear weird layering or overlapping sounds? This is a known limitation of resource packs — sounds can't be triggered and managed with the same precision as a full mod. Some layering is expected behavior.
Does it work exactly like the original mod? Not fully, but it comes close — and in some ways goes further. It's a resource pack at its core, so there are inherent limitations, but a lot of care went into replicating the experience.
How do I customize this pack? Open sounds.json and navigate to sounds → "Remastered". That folder contains everything you can modify. I recommend Audacity for audio editing.
I can't hear any sounds. Make sure this pack is at the top of your resource pack list — above other packs and mod resources. Also double-check your in-game volume settings.
The pack isn't working for me. Most likely a sounds.json conflict with another pack or mod. Check your load order and look for overlapping assets.
Can I use this in a modpack or on a server? Yes — just make sure to credit the pack and the original mod authors.
Does it work on Fabric, Forge, or other clients? Yes, it's compatible with any Minecraft client since it's a resource pack.
There are too many overlapping sounds. Run /stopsounds @a to immediately clear all playing sounds. You can also reduce ambient sound volume in your settings.
