About this project
What does Player Breaths add?
For those who want a slightly more realistic experience.
I will begin working on better multiplayer functionality and compatibility / support for other mods soon.
Features:
- Soundpacks for both male and female
- Player begins breathing heavily after a few seconds of sprinting
- Subtle gasps when the player jumps
- Shivering breaths when the player is freezing
- New pain noises for both above and below water
- Removes instrument voices
- Custom sounds support
Usage:
Type ".pb help" for commands.
".pb pack female auto" to switch to female.
".pb pack male auto" to switch to male.
Typing ".pb pack" etc. without "auto" will not update the volume settings, and therefore be much louder or quieter than it should.
The auto setting is based on my personal sound setup. Find the sweet spot for your setup by using ".pb volume (1-4)"
If you would like to add your own custom soundpack to your installation, unpack the mod and navigate to:
/assets/playerbreaths/soundpacks/
Create a new .json file and copy the structure of the other included packs.
Then, go to:
/assets/playerbreaths/sounds/
and again, copy the same structure of the other packs. The .json file must match the name of the new folder.
Known bugs:
- Breathing or jump sounds will sometimes trigger underwater
