 Description   

The Bug

Weighted pressure plates made out of metal make the wood sounds for breaking and placing. This occurs in both survival and creative mode.

Expected Result

It would make the metal noises for placing and breaking the block.

Observed Result

It made the wood noise for placing and breaking the block.

How to Reproduce

1. Place Weighted pressure plates to hear the wood place sound occur.
2. Destroy Weighted pressure plates to hear the wood break sound occur.

Read the comment before yours.

Comment by Asadefa [ 08/Jun/23 ]

Why is this "Won't Fix?" Is it really that hard to change the sound effects?

Comment by CrowdingFaun624 [ 20/Oct/22 ]

This was fixed in 22w42a.

Comment by Austin Dean Koke [ 18/May/22 ]

Can confirm in 22w20a.

Comment by [Mod] Avoma [ 28/Nov/21 ]

I can confirm this behavior in 1.18 Release Candidate 3.

Here's a code analysis along with a potential fix regarding this issue. The following is based on a decompiled version of Minecraft 1.17.1 using MCP-Reborn.

Code Analysis:

net.minecraft.world.level.block.Blocks.java
public class Blocks {
   ...
   public static final Block LIGHT_WEIGHTED_PRESSURE_PLATE = register("light_weighted_pressure_plate", new WeightedPressurePlateBlock(15, BlockBehaviour.Properties.of(Material.METAL, MaterialColor.GOLD).requiresCorrectToolForDrops().noCollission().strength(0.5F).sound(SoundType.WOOD)));

   public static final Block HEAVY_WEIGHTED_PRESSURE_PLATE = register("heavy_weighted_pressure_plate", new WeightedPressurePlateBlock(150, BlockBehaviour.Properties.of(Material.METAL).requiresCorrectToolForDrops().noCollission().strength(0.5F).sound(SoundType.WOOD)));
   ...

If we look at the above class, we can see that light and heavy weighted pressure plates utilize the .sound(SoundType.WOOD) method which is used for determining whether a block should produce wood sounds.

Potential Fix:

Simply replacing the .sound(SoundType.WOOD) method with .sound(SoundType.METAL) within these lines of code should resolve this problem, as light and heavy weighted pressure plates are predominantly constructed of metal. The correct lines of code within their class should look something like the following:

net.minecraft.world.level.block.Blocks.java
public class Blocks {
   ...
   public static final Block LIGHT_WEIGHTED_PRESSURE_PLATE = register("light_weighted_pressure_plate", new WeightedPressurePlateBlock(15, BlockBehaviour.Properties.of(Material.METAL, MaterialColor.GOLD).requiresCorrectToolForDrops().noCollission().strength(0.5F).sound(SoundType.METAL)));

   public static final Block HEAVY_WEIGHTED_PRESSURE_PLATE = register("heavy_weighted_pressure_plate", new WeightedPressurePlateBlock(150, BlockBehaviour.Properties.of(Material.METAL).requiresCorrectToolForDrops().noCollission().strength(0.5F).sound(SoundType.METAL)));
   ...

Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 14w08a? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
