Parameters

• <sound> is the sound that will play (in your case, minecraft:entity.creeper.primed).
• <source> is the source of the sound (master, music, record, weather, block, hostile, neutral, player, ambient, voice).
• <player> is the player who will hear the sound.
• [<x> <y> <z>] are the coordinates from where the sound will play.
• [<volume>] is the volume, which controls how loud the sound will be.
• [<pitch>] is the pitch, which controls the tone of the sound.
• [<minimumVolume>] is the minimum volume for players who are outside the normal audible sphere.

Source Parameter

In the context of the Minecraft playsound command, the master refers to the source channel of the sound being played.

Minecraft has various sound categories or "channels" that allow for more fine-tuned control over in-game audio settings. These categories can be individually adjusted by the player, meaning a player can make certain types of sounds louder or softer independent of other sounds.

Here are the main sound categories (sources):

1. master: This is the main volume controller. All sounds in the game fall under this category.
2. music: This category is for the background music that plays while in the game.
3. record: This is for music disc sounds.
4. weather: This is for weather-related sounds (e.g., rain, thunder, etc.).
5. block: This is for sounds related to blocks (e.g., placing, breaking, stepping on blocks).
6. hostile: This is for sounds made by hostile creatures.
7. neutral: This is for sounds made by neutral creatures.
8. player: This is for sounds made by the player (e.g., damage, burp, etc.).
9. ambient: This is for ambient/environmental sounds.
10. voice: This is for any in-game voice output.

When you're using the playsound command and specify master as the source, the sound will play on the 'Master' channel, which means it is not categorized under any specific in-game sound like blocks, creatures, weather, etc. Instead, it plays as a general game sound that is controlled by the master volume setting in the game.
