Instead of changing the sound, hear me out: make it so that you can wax redstone components and it would remove the sound. That way those who want the sound can keep it, and if you want sound design you can wax redstone components to silence them (or make them quieter) (or just use mumbo's version)

Minecraft's sound engine is REALLY weird like that. Everything does that

​@@watsgoinonhere1 No, it's not a quirk of their sound engine, just that every sound has a falloff range of like 5-15 blocks

I can't hear the new piston sound at all in the video.

@@kacperwoch4368 exactly

Was just about to say the exact same thing but found your comment first!

Music + loud voice + ultra quiet game sounds don’t mix for SHOWCASING SOUNDS

If you put a tnt duper in someone elses base, they cant hear it over their voice until it goes off!!

Thats exactly what i was thinking! That way you can choose either sound for different implications. And they wouldn't have to remove either sound.

WAIT THAT'S GENIUS

Wool pistons

@@KHariramwostons

i saw in a different comment about waxed pistons

Just cram like 8 fish per piston to make it the fishton these new sounds are. Regulat fish, pufferfish are cringe and pointy. Okay maybe a diamond too. Or replace the iron for diamond and have a new expense and demand for diamonds.

Noting redstone can’t solve

Well... he did say it was expensive

There were more on the inside initially as well

FOUR!!

@@icicle4829^

Watch them launch 50 micro-transactions before considering that

It would make things bulky, and could not realistically be implemented in flying machines, but that's a neat idea

Or have them be able to be waxed and when done so have it change the sound from the old to new.

absolutely this! I hope Mojang actually takes this into proper consideration.

E‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

Or they could’ve added a “silent” piston variant for both regular and sticky. similar to how you wax copper and signs. That way people who want silent pistons can have them and people who like the chunkier pistons can have those too.

​@@endyender1703 I think that's a less sustainable option but that sort of creative idea is much better for the game imo than some of the things that mojang has done

the mechanical sounds were "odd".

E‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

Mumbo passion is videography after all, so he knows a lot about sound design

Oooh yeah, maybe it's crafted with wool in lieu of wood

You are cooking something good here

Even better, you can add the wool to a piston that is already in world by right clicking it onto it, so no need for tearing down first and using a crafting table. Because you don't really know how loud it will be until you build it..... Just like how in Botania you can right click wool onto a mana spreader to quiet it down.

That's making a new use for old blocks, that's out of the question!!

Perfect!

We don't need new pistons. Just reduce the volume of the old sound.

@@watershed6092 I mean... yes... but how many young-young kids are going to be making piston doors?

Yeah i was very opposed to the new sound at first, but that stone door example has completely changed my opinion on it

It makes me wish we had more mob heads in vanilla Minecraft

@@ldyvaporeon9944 It's making me more open to the idea of waxing the pistons.

Still don't like the replacement of an iconic sound like the piston.

slugcat go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Just make the old sound quiet

Are you really the real scug?

@@JokuTurhake no, I am, do not question me. >:(

Wawa!

Brilliant!

This is a perfect balance between keeping the old sound and adding the option for quieter piston builds

Yes!!!

Now, that is an idea. Mojang better add that than the sound we have now.

This is a wonderful idea!

This is actually a really good idea. That’s actually sounds like it can open a lot of doors. (Pun intended)

It'd be amazing, not confident with Mojang going through that effort but if they did, that'd be revolutionary

I think the biggest hurdle for this kind of idea would be all the extra processing each individual piston activation would create. Right now it's: activate piston, play sound. But this idea would become: activate piston, check adjacent blocks, choose appropriate sound, play sound. The larger the machine, the more checks and calculations have to be done per piston. I like the idea overall though, it would be pretty sick to be able to play with sound in your builds to that degree. If they can figure out how to code that efficiently, it would be great.

@@SaneGhoul I do not know how mojang has implemented pistons, but all it would need to do is check the block type that it pushed. Assuming that they need to send an update to that block already, getting the block id would be trivial (they already do a check to see if it is moveable or not). It would add a negligible amount of time.

@@Arcangel0723 Aah ok, yeah that probably wouldn't be too difficult. I was picturing something more complicated when I first read your comment. Like it checking each block that it was rubbing against and doing some kind of average of multiple sounds based on all the blocks. Like if you have stone, wood, and sand it would do some combination of sounds for everything.

They could’ve just, made the orignal sound quieter- not made it sound like- a door-

This is one of the best suggestions I've been seeing. Add a wool carpet or block and make it a Padded Piston or something for quieter builds. We'd literally be praising Mojang instead of hating on them if they just gave us more player choice.

A waterlogged trapdoor

Well, you can find them in chests

Yes, yes, yes! That would be perfect! 🤩

If you what to make a red stone door that sounds like a stone door sliding open you could, or it could just sound like a machine otherwise

I also suggested that

@@johnwest6690 I think It makes sense, it's already a built-in mechanic of the game that could totally be applied to Pistons...

@@paulelderson934 🔫

Bang! **gunshots** Pew pew. Pew pew.

Pistons plus some wool or feathers or hay to create some cushioned pistons

EXACTLY, I feel like the complaining is not productive at all, but constructive feedback is great.

We need wayyy more of this in the community instead of whining children when they don’t get their way.

That was my first thought... Mojang, why not just, you know, lower the audio by 50%? jeez -_-

This is the best solution! Scale the sound with how many blocks it pushes!

the original door would have more of the low intensity sound however... Still great!

@@hexretro8112 Well yeah that's the idea

I think that a piston with wool, and it kinda looks like a carpeted top, would be a good way to handle that

@@peartreeLeaving That would be awesome! Maybe you could place a piston in the crafting grid and a carpet on top to make something like a "Carpeted Sticky Piston", allowing you to use shears on the piston to un-carpet it

@@peartreeLeaving I imagine it as padding in-between, like on the stone part.

E‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

@@EEEEEEEE A

Legit all that needs to happen is basically create a whiter contrast texture to the existing piston and sticky piston block and have them as separate blocks called Waxed Piston and Waxed Sticky Piston and have them use the new sounds whilst the preexisting ones use the old sounds. The recipe could easily just be adding on a bottle of honey to each block for the waxed versions.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@HobbyDev-dh9oyand they should also allow you to click a piston with honey comb to wax it and also you can remove the wax with an axe just like all blocks that can be waxed

😮

there should be craft able silencers for stuff like pistons and droppers. keepns the old sound with out giving options for quieting them

Hm yes

Not related, but if we're changing pistons, can we have honey pistons that act like java pistons and regular slime pistons to act like bedrock piston and have parity in that regard between versions?

@@lerquian1970OOOOOOOHOOOO. Damn that’s a rly good idea! Not like mojangs gonna do that but….would still be cool

One issue is the piston recipe is already annoying to craft, but with crafters that shouldn’t be too bad

I think it would be best to either have it as an option, or add a specific "quiet piston" block. Or go with your idea and have a way to dampen them

I think they should just put pistons on their own separate audio channel.

Like you add slimeballs to the piston, you can also add whool to it.

My solution would be to add a volume control just for pistons. This way, you can have the normal sound and when you are working on something with lots of pistons, you lower their volume.

o

no 💀

Noooooo ;_;

was gonna say, there's some ASMR potential for "quiet rain" (or in mumbo's case, waves crashing)

It sounds like a flood not just a rain

😂

They should do it like how it is in real life with sound to make it seem normal; every double amount of pistons =+3 dB in sound. I like the idea of having the sound come from the amount of blocks the piston is pushing. It makes sense, and there is already code to check how many blocks a piston is pushing. Combining the 2 would create a perfect piston sound.

Was just about to comment, but found yours first, this is the best idea ngl

that's the best idea but i feel like that would be a substantial amount of rework on the sound engine and thus would put the ball on the programmer not the sfx artist. which may or may not be a problem depending on their task loading. i do agree that since redstone is 'tick locked' in a way, it's probably quite wise to 'batch' sound produced for them to at least not overload the sound engine. but that means you need to introduce to concept of batching sounds, how would that work, how does the falloff be affected, how would this apply to other aspect of Minecraft imo it's a worthwhile endeavor but mojang isn't exactly the fastest dev team in the world nor are they the kind of team that geek out on this kind of thing (or have the capabilities to do so with both the corporate overlord and fans breathing down their neck)

@@aronseptianto8142 thats exactly what i was thinking too lol, i dont see why they would put “all of that effort” into something so small. maybe in the future if they ever do an optimization update, but i dont think thats happening either

creepers are a relic of 2010s game design and they're one of the major reasons I will never play 3D block game, but I fully agree that they're an iconic part of its identity and you couldn't take them away without losing something that makes 3D block game what it is a similar argument can be said for pistons, which are the core of basically every non-cosmetic piece of redstone (eg: not a light switch)

@@Zeldrake Uhm, okay? What a weird reason.

Wax it silent. Waterbottle it loud.
