Dynamic Surroundings: Environs

This mod is completely client-side - it does not require installation on the server to function. It significantly enriches the game world with various sound and visual effects.

Main Features

The mod adds realistic environmental sounds that change depending on the biome. In villages, special sound effects are activated when the player is within 64 blocks of a bell or a villager. Waterfalls now not only produce sounds but also create acoustic effects.

In cold biomes of the northern hemisphere, you can observe the mesmerizing northern lights. Fog dynamically changes depending on weather, time of day, and season (with Serene Seasons mod installed).

Visual Effects

Jets of steam, fire, and bubbles appear in appropriate conditions. At night, fireflies flutter around flowers. Water and lava drops create both sound and visual effects.

Technical Features

For condition evaluation, a JavaScript engine is used, which reduces the load on the client side of the game.

What's Not Included

The mod does not contain weather effects (planned for another mod), external configuration support, battle music, speech bubbles and entity chat, damage pop-ups, as well as sounds of insects, snakes, bison, elephants, and crocodils, which were removed as not fitting the Minecraft style.

Additional Features

Waterfall spray drops create ripples on water when falling into water or steam clouds when hitting hot blocks. Fully grown nether wart can emit flame particle effects. Working furnaces and blast furnaces are considered hot blocks for steam generation. A full cauldron near a hot block also produces steam.
