Minecraft 1.21 Snapshot 24W20A | New Piston Sounds & Redstone Buff! 

Best way to put it! It's a step in the right direction but I think it needs tweaking

true, true

yeah i agree it's too treble-y. like someone just slapped the noise suppression filter on the old sound

it sounds too sleek which just doesn't fit Minecraft, as most things are rural and the nice things are the exception a piston shouldn't look like that and sound like plastic

I think it needs like a 'cchh' sort of sound to it

Same! Its definitely a step in the right direction though because yeah I've never liked how loud pistons sound

They needs to do that the same with the sculk shrieker too. Even the enderman's death sound too.

It matches better with the copper bulb sound, its more satisfying, i don't like it either though.

It sounds like lego bricks

Exactly this ^

holy shit lol

hahahah, that's a perfect description

As a splatoon player, if that's what you think it sounds like, you're probably high.

@@SnoFitzroy Oh darn it, now I’m picturing woomy-ing pistons

Great description

Agree, the only problem is " Too Loud ". The new one sounds like woody.

"Wet" was the first thing that came to my mind as well.

It kind of sounds like ancient redstone builds when people used fence gates

the old one has an uncanny valley effect if it's just made quieter. Like you should hear it louder but you don't, or like it's farther away

I came to add it sounds wet lok

well i hope mojang will add the recource pack by default which reverses it. like they did with texture rework.

@@igroin_the_cat2264the old sound will probably still exist in the Programmer Art resource pack

Absolutely but they were too loud and too harsh

@@riztizturn down the redstone sound in settings?

@@godzillaridergamer7595 You mean "blocks" sounds, that would also make doors and chests quiet

If they have their heart set on a new sound they could probably pitch it down and it'd sound better

A PISTON HAS FALLEN INTO THE RIVER IN LEGO CITY

Hello crafty

It that guys!

​@@GamingBrenHEY!

@@mosshivenetwork117 BUILD THE NEW RESCUE HELICOPTER!

Yeah, there's definitely a "sliding/pushing" aspect missing from the new sound.

I actually really like this new piston sound, the old didn’t sound good at all to me honestly, but maybe a sliding sliding of the piston sound or maybe they could use that deep keyboard thonking sound with this new sound

Needs to be lower-pitched to sound like it's coming from something beefier.

it sounds like wet smacking sounds lmao

your feelings are irrational

​@@Fire_AxusThats why they are called feelings lol Either way I think that it sounds like a very small plastic toy instead of an industrial mechanism

​@@Fire_Axus Nothing irrational about it. Large machines shouldn't sound like plastic toys.

@@felipea1399 Don't dismiss feelings as entirely irrational things. Without feelings we are nothing at all.

Its a wet slapping sound. I don't really need to say more than that.

Old textures were iconic as well, but they were changed. Iconic is not a good reason to keep something to being the same.

​@@zackrose6261But tbh the old one feels way more minecraft-y

@@angelica-fg4gjthats said about anything when they release it and then everyone immediately goes "oh this is better" im not saying the new sound is better but minecraft-y isnt an argument because the game is constantly changing

@@zackrose6261 Objectively some of them were better like wheat crops. Just because new doesn't always mean bad, doesn't mean new only ever means good.

just like the bulb

I know a certain hermit with a redstone permit or two who will be pretty happy about this chance.

This is in response to the whining about raid farm nerfs. It is definitely a massive buff to witch drops!

​@@PhoenixFlamezz well mojang once again didn't know their game and removed basically all viable access to large amounts of redstone.

Except of course gifting farms that are still faster than

@@nnnik3595 eeeh.. some players going afk four hours and passively generate huge amounts of resources isn't the only thing Mojang have to take into account. Look I enjoy that as well, but thinking it's what the game balancing should revolve around would be pretty damn self centered.

*finds reason to complain*

it really doesn't,​@@crist8600. but hey, complain to all your hearts content i guess

@@crist8600L comment, let ppl state there opinion ong

It sounds like a jumping slime

its because youre not used to it. if that was the sound from the beginning, youd say the old sound didnt sound like a piston

I agree. I never had heard of people complaining of the piston sound before (except when others intentionally build noise machines). Feels like more of a PR change to make the game more "inclusive".

Sorry, but I disagree. The old sound is something I heard tons of complaining about. If you haven’t heard complaining, then it’s because we gave up all hope of change. It was far too loud.

@@creeperkafasithe comment about it being for “inclusivity” is a totally unnecessary reach

​@@WyattporterIkr not everything is about "oh soft gen z inclusivity"

I personally care a lot about the sound of the piston in redstone contraption. I deliberately go out of my way to find a pistonless design to some circuits, which often costs a few extra ticks. If you want to understand my pain, just try and find a pistonless monostable circuit. You have to dig deep for something like that. Of course I know that people don't care for the loud noice, but for the people that do care it is a welcome idea. It just has to be fleshed out better. I don't like this sound either. Just make the old noice quieter and I would be happy.

They really should spawn more

true. 1x1 square meter of redstone-powered iron, wood and cobblestone cannot sound like a cardboard.

I would really just like the sound muffler mod that is built into the inventory UI to be vanilla. It does the exact right things, it's not the sounds themselves that need tweaking imo

I actually agree with this, sounds like the old doors

Linear actuators are basically silent in the real world

@@lomiification a couple things with that, first off i think of a minecraft piston more like a solenoid (its instant and only exists fully extended or fully retracted), and those can make a lot of noise depending on the situation second off, minecraft is a video game with a fantasy medieval/renaissance style, i dont think pistons are meant to be like modern linear actuators, probably more like 1700s steam pistons or something, but that's probably looking to deep into it since its a video game lmao but tbh regardless of any of that, a minecraft is a video game and punchy sounds make more sense for something as powerful as a piston.

​@@lomiification and what? It's videogame.

@@Minty1337 also don't forget a piston can push a solid 1m³ block of gold

Hardly, the redstone, piston, and tooltip changes are huge imo

Personally i'd rather not see the update come out yet. I think it would be beneficial for the quality of updates if there was an update every two years instead.

@@omen4s976 1.20 released in june 2023???

@@youtubedoesntlikemyemojiname Thank you for correcting me. I edited the comment to say every two years since i still think giving mojang more time to work on updates wouldn't be a bad idea. Especially thinking about the health of the developers. I think one of the few reasons they want to push updates as frequently as possible is because they want to make more money. I could be wrong but i doubt it would hurt a company this big to only make updates every two years.

@@omen4s976 I wish many in this community shared this sentiment. Unfortunately ppl say "Mojang are lazy" and should be churning out updates more often ...

It sounds like a lightswitch with a slightly muffled click

Doc seems to have had an early heads up

This new one sounds like a wet slapping. I'm sure you can figure out the implications from there. It's like the scene at the start of season 10 when they're spamming the salmon head on the noteblocks.

@@DoughnutDragon no, it doesnt

@@DoughnutDragon Someone get me an end rod and a sheep, I need to test something out

@@TimeTravelingFetus this was 100% the method they used when designing the sound

Naw it’s absolutely dogshit

I would definitely use it. I hate the new sound.

Also something I would suggest for the sound is something that sounds hydraulic

In my opinion, this is a loss of the game's identity.

"i like a thing so it must stay even if everyone else hates it!"

@@aetheriox463 look at the comments, no one likes the change

@@wizardbrandon3544 because youre all babies who cant handle change. its better.

@@aetheriox463 But 99% of people say they like the change’s purpose, just not the proposed sound. And I agree. I think that the piston sounds have been too loud for too long, and I love that is being addressed! However, redstone machines look heavy, mechanical, made of stone, chunky. So for the same machine to make the sound of a wet door doesn’t make sense. 😅 Doesn’t match and is rather unpleasant. The door opening in the video sounds like someone dragging around squids, not a mechanical door opening.

​@@aetheriox463 the sound volume is great, the sound itself is garbage from a toilet.

It's almost the same as if they removed the creeper

It means nothing

​@@AmericanbadashhNo it isn't

​​@@Crafty_boy70Yes it does. It isn't as satisfying anymore.

@@riztiz eh. Fair enough. But it’s not a big part of red stone whatsoever 💀

Same I like the sound in a piston door, but watching the actual piston move blocks has an uncanny valley effect, especially if you're just a few blocks away and barely hear the noise

It’s not consistent with the other sounds in the game. Take doors for example. Interacting with one creates a yet heavy and intrusive sound, yet somehow now the piston is quieter than it. It feels a little weird and I think it needs to sound just a little more heavy for the sake of Minecraft’s aesthetic consistency.

I agree

@@Zubula3 You and OP need to getcha heads checked out.

@DryPaperHammerBro We don't need to. That's just an opinion and it doesn't have to be the same as yours

@@Zubula3 Ok, feel free to be wrong

@DryPaperHammerBro Sure, have a nice day/night

Now it sounds like a fucking piston, literally. Wet slapping sound is just not right man.

It is just a block game, really no need to be like that

Indeed. If they don't revert this I'm just not gonna update. All my builds rely on the current piston sound (I build steam engines so the piston makes the chuffing noise) and this new one sounds like a wet trapdoor.

jesus, the minecraft community are such babies lmao

so true
