- Shield blocking and disabling
- Chest opening and closing, ender pearls, potion bottles
- Eating, drinking, lava and water

Questions about Better Sounds.
4 questions
How do I install Better Sounds?
Get the .mcpack file from the CurseForge page and open it with Minecraft, which imports it automatically. Then open your world's settings, go to Resource Packs and activate Better Sounds. Resource packs are switched on per world, so repeat this for each world where you want the new audio.
Is Better Sounds available for Java?
No. It is a Bedrock pack, and Java uses a different resource pack format that cannot load it. Bedrock players on Windows, phones and tablets can import it as a .mcpack file.
What does Better Sounds cover?
It covers player and mob hits, bows, shield blocking and disabling, mace smashing, chests, ender pearls, eating and drinking, potion bottles, lava and water. Block breaking, block placing and footsteps also sound different for every block.
Can I use Better Sounds in my videos?
Yes. The creator allows use in videos and promotion. Personal modification is allowed too, but redistributing the pack with direct download links is not, and the sounds may not be reused in another pack without permission and credit.
