Instead of changing the sound, hear me out: make it so that you can wax redstone components and it would remove the sound. That way those who want the sound can keep it, and if you want sound design you can wax redstone components to silence them (or make them quieter) (or just use mumbo's version)

This is akin to Mojang forcing everybody to use a high contrast resource pack to help accommodate those who require that support. Mojang needs to go back and give this strategy a rethink.

Loud piston sounds were a design choice that was set in stone over a decade ago. We all used to complain about not being able to make anything "covert" with pistons, but that was the point. The sound is meant to warn unsuspecting players that something BIG is happening nearby. But all of that could be fixed if we just had a resource-intensive option. The standard piston could still be viable in the early game, but the new, muffled, piston can be a quality of life upgrade in the late game.

A potential solution to the issue could be making wool actually block sounds instead of just blocking sculk sensors from hearing them.

This is the perfect opportunity for mojang to add the sound of moving blocks, so moving a wooden block should make a noise similar to moving a table, stone blocks should make sounds similar to the sound of your piston door.

I think the biggest hurdle for this kind of idea would be all the extra processing each individual piston activation would create. Right now it's: activate piston, play sound. But this idea would become: activate piston, check adjacent blocks, choose appropriate sound, play sound. The larger the machine, the more checks and calculations have to be done per piston. I like the idea overall though, it would be pretty sick to be able to play with sound in your builds to that degree. If they can figure out how to code that efficiently, it would be great.

[@Arcangel0723]

@@SaneGhoul I do not know how mojang has implemented pistons, but all it would need to do is check the block type that it pushed.

It would add a negligible amount of time.

Disguising piston sounds is such a cool usage of the new sound!

Otherwise, I don't think the change is necessary, since majority of players prefer the mechanical sound anyway and can use just a resource pack for the niche cases where they want to mute the sound of pistons.

I think we keep the old sound, but the volume depends on how many blocks its pushing. Big contraptions sound big, small ones small. And if theres multiple pistons pushing a bunch of blocks connected by slime, then equal out the volume based on the number of blocks and pistons, and lower it so its not super loud if you have like 20 pistons pushing something. I don’t know exactly how mc devs would do that specifically, but i think its good if we want the same sound and they want it quieter.

They should do it like how it is in real life with sound to make it seem normal; every double amount of pistons =+3 dB in sound.

[@diorsonliu]

1:19 ngl it sounds like pleasant rain except you're outside under an umbrella and not inside with a blanket

[@Zeldrake]

was gonna say, there's some ASMR potential for "quiet rain" (or in mumbo's case, waves crashing)

[@goldngamer1365]

It sounds like a flood not just a rain

[@kaboomer]

You know it’s bad when mumbo has to make an emergency video

[@idomelech6853]

Finally the piston-sheep construction can be sound accurate

[@Anas-1220]

no 💀

[@knicklichtjedi]

Noooooo ;_;

[@rootobia]

When it was on the part with the skeleton door my dog was sound asleep in my lap and when piston protest was put back on it startled him awake and I'm wearing headphones. This is actually amazing.

[@Useless_Science]

4:24 so lets try the piston protes- The god of static has awaken Eats moving, bones vibranting, Mind being defend. Ears slowly failing. Permament hearing loss has been acquired.

[@LavenderrrVi]

😂

[@danikahicks2210]

Ngl. Replacing the piston sound is as bad idea as replacing the creeper hiss. Too 👏 Iconic 👏

[@Zeldrake]

creepers are a relic of 2010s game design and they're one of the major reasons I will never play 3D block game, but I fully agree that they're an iconic part of its identity and you couldn't take them away without losing something that makes 3D block game what it is a similar argument can be said for pistons, which are the core of basically every non-cosmetic piece of redstone (eg: not a light switch)

[@NBrixH]

@@Zeldrake Uhm, okay? What a weird reason.

[@HoennianTurnip]

Perhaps they could keep a piston like this but make it use wool in its recipe (where the middle plank would be), and then make it a new block called the silent piston, which would also not activate sculk sensors. That way there can be more creative door sounds like as you showed, but still have the original sound

[@Wyrnikh]

Wax it silent. Waterbottle it loud.

[@itizwhatitiz9560]

I personally love it. There should just be a option to turn the sound of the pistons, but I hated how loud they were

[@TheDoodlD]

4:26 caught me so off guard I spat out my drink-

[@Random_guy_35]

What are they doing? MY PISTONS! GIVE THEM BACK!

[@fireyrobot6373]

Viewer : A new mumbo video! Hope it doesn't cause tinnitus. Mumbo:

[@tonaerio]

They should just make it an accesibility feature, similar to the ability to turn down mob sounds. I think the piston sound makes machines feel a lot more mechanical and like there's actually some mechanism physically working.

[@Kidderrgaming]

2:50 The sound actually blew me away entirely. That's incredible thought Mumbo!

[@thekingscrown8931]

The foley artists are about to go crazy with this.

[@C.A.R.D.Scanada]

I have an idea for the piston issue, I suggest the MUTED PISTON. It would be the same crafting recipe as the sticky piston but you take a regular piston or sticky piston and add wool to craft the muted piston. That way you have the option of having quiet pistons and the classic piston sound. Hope you find this Mumbo, love your work, I've been watching for years.

[@dubgua3354]

Mumbo making sure we are all deaf is wonderful, that way we can ask for the old piston sound while being unable to listen it. Mumbo is the greatest

[@TechnicalityGames]

From the changelog of 24W21A: “ It seems we cooked a bit too hard with the new Piston sounds last week, which is why we're reverting back to the old sounds again” Congrats, we did it!

fun! lets get them back to normal!

[@Flitch300]

The only good thing I can see about this change is that you can make secret bases (which I love doing and seeing) much closer than before because you can't hear them unless you're carefully paying attention/listening.

[@flameofthephoenix8395]

8:39 They just need to make some pistons have the sound and some not, like maybe regular pistons make the original sound but if you apply honey, the in-game equivalent of oil, it will make these new sounds.

[@thesuitablecommand]

Mumbo: "this is what Pistons used to sound like-" Me: you're _talking over the sounds!!!_

[@SliferStreaming]

1:26 this sounds like uber loud tv static, or maybe niagra falls lol.

[@kekchanbiggestfan]

Pistons are loud and “overpower” other sounds, but a block that can literally move mountains deserves a powerful sound

[@peterjohansson1828]

The way I see the problem is that either they are too loud in small machines or too quiet in large machines. So the real solution would probably be to rework the audio system so that there's audio stacking when lots of pistons are pushing at approximately the same time. Tbh tho idk how hard that would be to implement and it might be too costly to be worth it.

[@abhisadak15]

It's a big deal when mumbo talks about it

[@FlourishPorridge]

Mumbo talks about most of the changes they make to Tedstone, big and small

[@jaxolon333]

here's an idea, keep the old piston sound but add a new type of piston, put a piston with some wool in a crafting table to make a suppressed piston which makes the new sound and also doesn't trigger sculk sensors

[@QwertyS3]

That's a great idea

[@Damian-cilr2]

Here's a neat idea,just dont Just add a fucking slider for redstone components instead augh fhahgagagfhdb

[@batmangamer3122]

Muffled pistons, lubrication, all great ideas. Hydraulic pistons are relatively quiet in real life, the sound you hear with hydraulics is usually the pump. However, my personal vote is for steam pistons! Give me the whooshing sound!

mumbo: levers sound heavier than pistons mojang: well, we can fix that too

[@codycallaway9057]

Please no

[@ipex8772]

I think the new sound is great. Complicated builds that are mostly decorative or functional don barrage you with piston sounds now. Words become much more immersive. It's still enough to let you know something's going on but not too on the nose.

[@ByxzVR]

having pistons make different sounds based on what its pushing would be hella cool

[@TWEL]

I think if they just kept the old sound for pistons but added a "silencer" item to the game that gave you the option to make your pistons use the new sound then everyone would be happy. Because the piston sound is so iconic but it would be nice to make them less distracting from time to time!

[@frayzzyYT]

To have the best of both worlds Minecraft could keep the old piston sound but allow you to muffle the sound using carpet blocks similar to how skulk sensors work.

[@johnahitigms5917]

i would really like this new piston sound to be a part of a kind of mechanic where you can lubricate pistons to have less louder machines, and this could even have an interaction with sculk where you can reduce/remove the radius where sculk sensors detect pistons

[@erakir]

Mumbo: I returned the old piston sound. The Old Sound: *TV static*

[@kungpaochicken89]

'it sounds like a fish'

[@HeisenbergFam]

Watching Mumbo mess with pistons is more entertaining than Netflix

[@Shortnamesareoverrated]

Wayyyyyy more entertaining

[@SillyVania]

Yuh huh

[@SaneGhoul]

I think BOTH sounds have their place. I hope that Mojang considers some of the recommendations I've been seeing of having two separate pistons be made. Keep the sound of the original piston, but add a "waxed" or "padded" version with the new quieter sound. There are lots of machines that could really use the quiet piston, like traps or constantly running machines in your home. At the same time the original sound is iconic, is important for troubleshooting, and is sometimes an integral part of the design for a machine. This could SO easily become something that players actually PRAISE Mojang for if they just gave us more choices instead of making huge changes we don't like.

[@ties1118]

Mojang should make this the real sound 1:12

[@ki11ershark]

I like the quieter pistons personally, for the little secret things I use them for it keeps them quieter and more secret. The old piston was really loud.

[@JBC352]

I want the quieter pistons for most of my world as well, but I also prefer the old piston sound for machines like 95% of mumbo jumbo’s builds - seeing the giant walking safe house with all the piston sounds really emphasized the machinery aspect for me. I really liked some of the suggestions I saw in comments like adding wax, wool, etc (preferably easyish to get and renewable) to pistons to turn them quiet. I hope mojang goes that route, because while I’d keep most of my pistons quiet, I want to keep the ones for my bamboo and sugarcane farms OG cuz they sound cooler to me (plus they’re not constant or too close to my house 😂)

[@drewBossman]

Ew. Mojang pls stop (Edit) Ok the wither skeleton stone door was crazy cool. Maybe the change isn't awful.

[@FriskyPotat0]

1:30 tbh that level of noise as you get close to the machine feels extremely accurately proportional to the machine’s size
