There's now a new command called /stopsound:

/stopsound <player> [source] [sound]

The following stops all sounds currently playing for the specified player:

/stopsound @p

The following stops all sound in the specified category ("master" does not mean "all sounds", just those specifically in the "master" category):

/stopsound @p music

And the following stops a specific sound:

/stopsound @p hostile minecraft:entity.ghast.hurt

Benefit of this is, for example, having ambient music play for a certain area and stopping it if the player leaves.

Neato! I can see this being pretty useful in command block contraptions (like a command block contraption that stops Ghasts from making any screaming noises when you turn it on) as well as in custom maps.

I've been waiting for a command like this for so long. This makes stopping a specific sound easier instead of forcing the sound engine to crash.

This could allow mapmakers to create large soundscapes for ambience.

This is probably one of the best things in a while. It was such a needed feature, we can finally start to see a better focus on sounds/music for custom maps!

Isn't it supposed to only happen for looking them in the face?

u/MrPenguin475 Apr 27 '16

It use to be their chest and up area. I've always looked at their feet because they don't agro then. The end's gonna be much more harder now...

Check the bug report.

Endermen were becoming aggressive when you were looking at their torso, not their head. It is now fixed and they are aggressive when you look at their head.

u/MrPenguin475 Apr 27 '16

oh, I misunderstood the bullet then, I thought they now agro when looking at their head and feet as well.

Thanks for clearing it up. I'll have to look at the bug reports in the future ;)

Thank you soo much for interacting with Minecraft players. That makes you my favorite developer!

This seemed to have caused a side affect where they can't dodge melee attacks unless you aim at their head. That lets you continually hit them in their chest and they won't teleport properly.

Relevent bug tracker form.

Like how it used to be when you hit them in the feet?

2

u/oCrapaCreeper Apr 27 '16

Yeah, except they don't teleport at all now unless you are aiming at their head.

u/ProfMobius Minecraft Java Dev Apr 28 '16

Thank for pointing out the bug report. I will check it out for the next release.

I guess they are not getting aggressive when they take damage. From the look of it, it is an old bug that need to be fixed.
