sounds.json

sounds.json (sound_definitions.json in Bedrock Edition) is a file used by the sound system in resource packs which tells the sound system what sound files to play when a sound event is triggered by one or more in-game events. This file is located in assets/<namespace> in resource packs, and the default file is located in .minecraft/assets/objects (assets/resource_packs/vanilla/sounds in Bedrock Edition), and its hashed name can be found by looking it up in the file .minecraft/assets/indexes/<version>.json.

Since file .minecraft/assets/objects is obfuscated, one can find in Tutorial:Sound directory some methods to extract the sound.json and the sound directory, where all sounds and music are stored.

This file is stored in JSON format, but is represented here using NBT.
