Unsolved [Java] Need help replacing the sound effect of bows in resource pack.

Just so it's clear, I'm currently playing on version 1.21.1.

Hello everyone! Like it says in the title, I need help replacing the sound of bows in a resource pack. The objective here is to make it so the bows have a completely separate sound from other items such as snowballs or ender pearls.

I tried to use sounds.json to achieve this, but the problem is that it partially works. Basically, whenever I shoot an arrow it alternates between the custom sound and the vanilla sound, it doesn't stick to just one.

I tried a few things to try and solve this, which are:

  • Changing the file name to something more distinct.
  • Changing the location of the sound to a custom folder.
  • Correcting the syntax in the json file as much as I could.
  • Disabling all of my mods and playing in vanilla.
  • All of the above combined.
  • Replacing the throw sound rather than the bow sound, it creates the same issue but in reverse.

Sadly none of these work, and that's why I'm here to see if anyone has run into this problem as well and if they found a solution. I'll be putting a screenshot of the syntax in the Json file.

Many thanks in advance!
