{{For|the {{w|ambient music|ambient-genre music}} that plays in-game|Music}} 

'''Ambience''' (also called '''ambience sounds''' or '''ambient noises''') are sounds that can be heard in specific conditions. Ambience is divided into 2 groups: environmental ambience and block ambience.

All ambience sounds can be played using the {{cmd|playsound}} command. The volume of environmental and block ambient sounds can be changed together through the sound settings by changing the "[[Minecraft:Options#Music and Sounds|Ambient/Environment]]"{{only|JE}} or separately by changing the "[[Minecraft:Settings#Audio|Environmental audio]]" or "[[Minecraft:Settings#Audio|Block audio]]" sliders respectively{{only|BE}}. However, certain other sounds are also affected by the settings, such as those made by [[Minecraft:firework rocket]]s or placed and destroyed blocks.

== Environmental ambience ==
Environmental ambience refers to sounds that play based on the player's presence in specific environments. 

{{IN|JE}}, apart from cave ambience, environment ambience sounds are not described in the [[Minecraft:subtitles]].

=== Cave ambience ===
'''Cave ambience''' (also known as '''cave sounds''', or '''eerie noises''' according to the [[Minecraft:subtitles]]) are sounds that occasionally play when the player is underground or in a dark area, based on the [[#Mood algorithm|mood algorithm]]. These sounds can play in both [[Minecraft:the Overworld]] and in [[Minecraft:the End]], but not in the [[Minecraft:The Nether|Nether]].<ref>{{bug|MC-189847}}</ref>

The code name for cave ambience is {{code|ambient.cave}}. There are 23 different cave ambience sounds in total.

== Mood algorithm ==
Cave ambience and Nether mood play based on "mood", a value ranging from 0 to 100. The mood increases when the player is in a dark place, and decreases otherwise. When the mood reaches 100%, one of the sounds plays and the mood resets back to 0%.

This process is updated every [[Minecraft:tick]]. It involves selecting a random block within a 17×17×17 area centered around the player's eye position and adjusting the mood accordingly:
* If the block has sky light, the mood decreases by {{frac|1|1000}} for each sky light level.
* If the block has a block light level above 1, the mood decreases by {{frac|(block light level - 1)|6000}}.
* If the block has a block light level of 0, the mood increases by {{frac|1|6000}}.

This is the simplified algorithm for computing this value in pseudocode:
<syntaxhighlight lang="python">
def updateMood(mood):
    tickDelay = 6000
    maxLightLevel = 15
    block = select a random block in a 17×17×17 block cube centered around the player
    skyLight = block.getSkyLightLevel()

    if (skyLight > 0):
        mood = mood - (skyLight / maxLightLevel) * 0.015
    else:
        blockLight = block.getBlockLightLevel()
        mood = mood - (blockLight - 1) / tickDelay
    
    if (mood ≥ 1.0):
        player.playCaveAmbience()
        mood = 0.0
    else if (mood < 0):
        mood = 0.0
</syntaxhighlight>

Players in complete darkness will hear cave ambience every 6000 ticks (or 5 minutes).

{{IN|java}}, the mood appears on the [[Minecraft:debug screen]].

== Block ambience ==
Block ambience describes sounds emitted by blocks sporadically, generally under additional conditions.

=== Creaking heart ===

These sounds are referred to as "'''eerie sounds'''" in the [[Minecraft:subtitles]].

The [[Minecraft:resource location]] for these sounds is <code>block.creaking_heart.idle</code>.

=== Mood algorithm ===
[[File:Mood algorithm pre-1.16.gif|thumb|250px|A visual representation of all the blocks the game can pick. The [[armor stand]] depicts the player.]]

{{IN|JE}}, prior to [[Minecraft:Java Edition 20w12a|20w12a]], the mood algorithm worked differently.{{Info needed|Does Bedrock still use that algorithm? If not, when was it changed for the current one?|bedrock=1}}

Every 6000 to 18000 [[Minecraft:tick]]s (5 to 15 minutes), the game picked one of the following blocks (with the player's feet as the origin, i.e. <math>(0, 0, 0)</math>): <math>\{(x, y, z) \mid x,y,z \in \{-4, 0, 4\}\}</math>

The game then checked these conditions:
* If the block is different from the player's feet (i.e. <math>(0, 0, 0)</math>).
* If the block is [[Minecraft:air]].
* If the [[Minecraft:sky light]] is 0.
* If the [[Minecraft:block light]] is less than or equal to <math>\text{random}(0, 8)</math>.

When all conditions were met, the game played a random cave ambience sound.

== Trivia ==
[[File:Sound14 spectrogram.png|250px|thumb|Cave 14 viewed in a [[w:Spectrogram|spectrogram]].]]

* When "Cave 14" is put into a spectrogram, you see a [[Minecraft:creeper]] face. Samuel Åberg said that he made this sound with a spectrogram program.<ref>{{ytl|4XmJPb4Qt5Y|HOW MINECRAFT SOUNDS ARE MADE|Minecraft|Aug 3, 2024|t=6m37s}}</ref>
* "Cave 21" is spelling out "BEHIND" in {{w|International Morse code}}.<ref>{{tweet|slamp0000|1896163988603597267|Creepy 👀|March 2, 2025}}</ref>
* "Warped Forest Additions 1-5" are a mix of vanilla [[Minecraft:enderman]] sounds and those of the [[Minecraft:Minecraft Dungeons:Enderman|endermen]] from ''Minecraft Dungeons''.
** "Warped Forest Addition 6" is the sound of an enderman screaming, slowed down, and in reverse.
* "Warped Forest Mood 9" is a slowed-down and reverberated idle sound of the [[Minecraft:witch]].
* "Dark 4" is a slowed and pitched down scream of a [[Minecraft:ghast]].{{verify}}
* All cave and Nether ambient sounds {{in|be}} can play at different pitches. In Java Edition, cave sounds stay at normal pitch, but some of the nether ambient sounds can play at different pitch. For example, "Warped Forest Help 1 and Help 2" sometimes play at 0.7X pitch.
* {{IN|be}}, all "enish" sounds play either at 0.2X pitch or 0.25X pitch instead of normal pitch. {{IN|je}}, these same sounds play at 0.5X pitch.
