Minecraft Ambient Sounds Add-on V4: Caves and Cliffs!

This add-on implements a variety of ambient sounds into Minecraft such as birds chirping in forests, waves crashing on beaches, wind howling in trundras, and much more! The most recent update to this add-on has added entirely new soundscapes for both Caves and Cliffs for Minecraft's next update as well as touching up many existing sounds.

Add-On Showcase

Ambient Sounds is an add-on that adds much-needed background sounds to Minecraft. Every biome plays a variety of ambient sounds to fit its respective theme such as chirping in forests, waves crashing on beaches, wind howling in trundras, and much more.

Version 4 is the latest release designed to work with the upcoming Caves and Cliffs Part 2 Update. Both Mountains and Caves have their own detailed soundscapes now. In addition to the more natural sounding cave sounds, I have added several new unsettling ones as well to fit in line with the vanilla sounds that play. The video above is a near comprehensive showcase of every biome dependent soundscape included. Take a listen!

Notice:

This add-on has not been tested in realms. It may work, but I can't solve any realms related issues, unfortunately.

If you have mob-spawning turned off, enable sounds with this command:

/summon boi:function_master

Hello creator. I really love this addon, but I can't install it. Linkvertise links don't work on Xbox anymore. I just want to ask you if you could create a separate download link. Thank you.

Really well made addon and im glad to see it finally back, only thing i wish would be worked on is the biome transition sounds and looping for the ambience as it is noticeable

Only criticisms are that the sounds can get really loud and noticeably repeat within a few seconds.

IRDOR13 November 10, 2021 at 7:18 pm

There's a volume slider in settings for ambience..

I made an account just to comment here. This mod is so well made and thought out. Minecraft is so much more calming and ambient whenever I have this pack in use. This is one of the best sound packs on this website. There's just a few small suggestions and ideas i have for it. Obviously, you don't have to add them, but if you choose to, please get back to me so I can get the newest version as soon as possible! Anyway, my first suggestion is to tone down the amount of frog croaking in swamps. It feels like its a bit too much sometimes, especially since frogs arent in the game and i cant see them. Second, maybe add an occasional wolf howl for taigas? Wolves do spawn there so it would be fitting. Distant bear growls and scratches or woodpecker pecks on trees would be nice for forests in general. Third, I don't know if this is a feature already, but I haven't heard it, so I'm gonna guess it hasn't been added. Also, how about a sound effect for waterfalls if possible? I've always felt waterfalls in the game were a bit boring with their lack of sound. Fourth, how about some sound effects for the lava in the nether or just lava in general? I know they already have that default bubbling sound, but maybe some singe sound effects could work too? Fifth and finally, some cicada bug noises could work wonders in the desert! It may just be me, but I associate their buzzing with hot weather and stuff like that, so it would be a nice fit! Sorry for suggesting so much stuff, and sorry again if i suggested something already added. I just went with what i heard in the videl and from my own experience using this pack. With all that out of the way, heres a final note. You are very good at making minecraft addons. This addon is a masterpiece. I've wanted a pack like this for so long. Thanks for making it real =)

Man, I’m not sure if the creator reads all of this but I certainly agree with you!

Bryan Siew November 07, 2021 at 8:26 pm

Just wait 1.19 for frogs

The Big Onion Institute October 03, 2021 at 1:21 pm

And sorry for the late response! I'm finally getting back around to updating this add-on again I'll try to add as many of your suggestions as I can. I may have trouble adding waterfall sounds because of technical limitations, but I'll see what I can do. I really appreciate the courteousness of your comment. Comments like these are always super encouraging :D

Hi there! May I use your custom cave sounds for a minecraft add-on im making? I will give you credit.

M.Naufal.Y 9 A Mono :D July 09, 2021 at 9:05 am

I hope you can Update this Addon Can be updated for 1.17.2 version :³

CombatFrog July 05, 2021 at 11:26 am

I absolutely love where you got the cave sounds from. Not gonna say what it's from because I know how they looove to take anything down for copyright.

Also I don't know if I've just done something wrong but I feel I should say it anyway. It may say 1.16 but I just tried it on a world and I can hear everything perfectly fine. It IS compatible with 1.17
