Silent Drowning
A resource pack to silence the popping breath bubbles. I found them annoying so I made this.
Silence the popping air bubbles in the oxygen bar so you can swim in peace and quiet.
I found the popping to be annoying when it was added to the game, but was unable to find an existing resource pack to revert the change. So I made one myself. I figure others may feel the same, or even have sensory issues about such sounds, so I thought I'd share it here.
It very simply replaces the popping sound with a brief silence. The sound event (breath meter dropping) will still appear in the subtitles (or closed captions) if you have that enabled.
It's likely that the pack will continue to work with Minecraft updates to come, but I will try to update it for each release/drop so you can at least have it not needlessly nagging you about the version. Most recent version works without complaint in 1.21.2 - 26.2
Note that the name of the pack is a bit of dark whimsy; the pack only silences the popping bubbles, not the sounds of taking damage from drowning.
