Sound Missing in Alpha

Unfortunately, with alpha minecraft being so old, the new launcher likes to overwrite the sound files with the new ones when you go to launch. Luckily, there’s a way around it, but it involves turning off your internet for a few seconds.

Step 1: Download old resources here- www.mediafire.com/?0dx2izpl496922e and extract it. There should be a folder just called “resources” inside.

Step 2: Open up your .minecraft folder, and delete the “resources” folder you see there.

Step 3: Take the old resources that you downloaded, and put it into the .minecraft folder

Step 4: Open up the Minecraft launcher

Step 5 MOST IMPORTANT: Turn your internet off.

Step 6: Pick your old alpha version, and launch the game in offline mode.

Step 7: Wait a few seconds and click the buttons to make sure the sound is working. If it isn’t, go into options and make sure Sound and Music are set to ON.

Step 8: You can now turn on your internet!

Another unfortunate thing is, you will have to do this every time you close the game. It’s not that time consuming though. Takes me only about a minute to do, and it’s worth it!
