Can I “ignore” rain?

Question

Am I able to stop or lessen the sound of rain, and only rain? I want to hear all the other interesting sounds of Minecraft, but the pitter patter of the rain is getting to me...

Answer

You can mute the rain sound by replacing the rain sound in the minecraft "resources" directory. No .JAR file editing required!

Windows: - Navigate to %appdata%/.minecraft/resources/newsound/ambient/weather

Mac: - Navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/resources/newsound/ambient/weather

Linux: - Navigate to ~/.minecraft/resources/newsound/ambient/weather

All:

• Download silent.ogg and save it to that directory (right click and save file as...)
• rename rain1, 2, 3, and 4.ogg to rain1, 2, 3 and 4.bak
• copy silent.ogg three times and rename them to rain1, 2, 3 and 4.ogg

All done! Play minecraft and now the rain will be silent.

(Note: If silent.ogg 404's on that link in the future, just search google for "silent ogg" or make one yourself in your favorite sound editor).

Bonus: You can do this for any sound file in the game, just browse around the resources directory for .ogg files.
