A block sound type is a set of sounds that blocks use when they are broken, placed, hit, fallen on, stepped on, jumped from,[Bedrock Edition only] or landed on.[Bedrock Edition only]
If a player is stepping on a carpet, crimson or warped roots, moss carpet, nether sprouts, or snow (blocks in the combination_step_sound_blocks block tag) then the step sound of the block underneath will play at 1⁄3 of the volume and 4⁄5 of the pitch.[Java Edition only]
