Keep old piston sounds BUT allow them to be 'silenced' using honeycombs!

In the Snapshot 24W20A pistons were sounds changed for much quieter ones. As much as I *do* love the new clicks and clacks, however, the old ones are just too special to do away just like that! (and I'm sure many other people think the same).

My suggestion would be that players can change the SFX by waxing their pistons, which would provide a couple perks:

  • Player choice [plus the bonus ability to mix and match sounds for their contraptions];
  • Even more uses for the Honeycomb item and, consequently, bees.

    Perfeitamente, isso seria o ideal.

    I am a fan of mechanical sounds and I absolutely adore the old piston sound. The new update would honestly ruin the feel you get hearing dozens of pistons fire up in a gigantic piston door etc

    And I just also thought that using wax to silence the pistons OR using the new sound on waxed pistons (because they sound kinda slippy ngl), this could be the solution!

    The old sound made creations feel grand, big, awesome. Now they sound kinda underwhelming. Like the piston is nothing more then another door.

    I liked the old one better, I liked the feeling the old one gave better. The old one inspires me, tells me instantly what it does, it was perfect, or at least near enough for me to not know how to improve it. And at the end, those that want it changed, can always use a resourcepack.

     

    The honeycombs silencing would be cool too but, I like the sound.

    I think this is a great idea. Like mumbo showed in his video on this topic, sometimes you want big clanky mechanical noises and other times you want the quite so you can do your own sound design
