Dynamic Surroundings alters the player’s visual and audible experience in Minecraft, and does not alter game mechanics. The player has a high degree of control over their experience, and modpack authors can customize biome and block effects based on their need.
NOTE: The JARs I build are published only to CurseForge. I cannot vouch for the JARs found on other sites because I do not know their origin.
Starting with v3.5.4.0, the HUDs have been moved into a separate mod called Dynamic Surroundings: HUDs. The HUDs mod will not run with earlier versions of Dynamic Surroundings so make sure you update your mods appropriately.

Minecraft 1.16.4/1.16.5 Updates
Common questions and issues:
- OreLib is not required.
- The 1.16.4 version will run on Minecraft 1.16.5.
- The mod supports Java 15. However, keep in mind that this would require Forge 36.x+, and other mods in your pack may not support Java 15.
- Dynamic Surroundings 1.16.4 includes a sound effect processor. If you install Sound Filters Dynamic Surroundings will automatically disable this processing to avoid conflicts.
- To get configuration menus under the Mods menu install Cloth Config API (Forge). This is a soft dependency, meaning that if the API is not installed Dynamic Surroundings will still work, but you will not get these menus.
Minecraft 1.14.4/1.15.2 Updates
At the moment I do not have a lot of time. I am spending it focused on 1.16.4 since the core of "major mods" have moved to that version. This means that 1.14.4/1.15.2 may not get additional changes. I will fix bugs as necessary.

Dynamic Surroundings: MobEffects
Dynamic Surroundings: Environs
Minecraft 1.12.2 and earlier Updates
These versions are considered to be in maintenance mode. I will be fixing any major issues as needed.
The Mixin scene for 1.12.2 is a mess because of various mods embedding different versions of Mixin. Issues usually manifest themselves as an inexplicable client crash during startup. The latest Dynamic Surroundings BETA versions do not embed Mixin for this reason. This means that Mixin has to be supplied by another mod. If no other mods supply Mixin use MixinBootstrap. In some situations Mixin Compatibility may also be needed,

Installation
Installing the mod is pretty easy! Just drop the JAR into the "mods" folder in your Minecraft Forge instance and startup your client.
The mod is not needed on the server so you can drop into an existing modpack and play on public servers without problem.

Any plans on updating to 1.17.1?
help my game crashed
dynamic surroundings version: 1.12.2-3.6.1.0
i dont know how to fix it but i think its animania, because i got on a white sow pig with a carrot on a stick and i pressed shift, ctrl, all numpad keys and i still couldn't dismount the pig, so i closed my game and ever since i got errors on my modded survival world, anyway heres the crash log:
https://pastebin.com/CWLPQGAb
edit: i tried all of the last 3 versions for 1.12.2 and one of them crashed my game on start, the other 2 crashed when i opened my survival world
Certainly not my first time playing with this mod, and definitely won't be my last. This mod plays well with almost any other mod. If you are looking to make minecraft feel realistic or just want an impressive sounding game, this is the go to mod.
Hope too
Update mod to 1.17.X
fabric 1.16.5?
Every time I use Dynamic surrounding mod in other mod pack it cause some glitch like white water and white item bugs if I try to remove this mod in mod file the glitch gone. every one? Experience this stuff and I use to play in Pojav Launcher.
In reply to osh_21:
Same... Cause I am in pojav too.
This mod is incredible, but man you should note somewhere that your mod includes those awesome splash texts on attack, literally whole night I was trying to figure out what mod was adding those splash indicator effects on damage, and lastly found on github by searching straight those phases, watched tons of modded minecraft videos on youtube, some of them had those effests some didn't looked into almost all mods those vids had in description.
splash texts on attack, indicator splash texts, particle effects on damaga man whatever it is called this awesome feature deservs to be noted somewhere to be SEARCHABLE
Hey! love the mod :) Just one thing,would it be possible to update it so that it makes ALL the sounds configurable?, like in the previous versions? I have it in the 1.16.5 version and it's not configurable basically at all, I don't like certain sounds like the coyotes howls and other things too..
Hate the mosquito sounds, every 2 minutes there's invisible mosquitoes around, how deep and calm
can you make a fabric version of this mod , please :)
In reply to ransomware3309:
There isn't a fabric version of this mod. Hopefully there will be someday, but in the meantime:

This' my mod where I add similar SFX properties like echo, reverb and occlusion.
Hey guys, I've been digging for ages and apparently the Critical flavour attack when you strike a mod is supposedly from here. The thing I'm referencing is, if you go to YouTube and watch MC videos like 100 Days In Zombie Apocalypse by Forge Labs whenever he attacks mobs, glowing orange damage numbers will show up (that's from ToroHealth Damage Indicator) but when he crits there will be things like "Whack!" or "Crack!" and similar comic sound effects in text. A reddit thread finally pointed me that it's supposedly this mod: https://www.reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/comments/d3n3mn/anyone_know_which_mod_adds_these_popups_when/f03uk90/ However I can't find the setting anywhere. And the Youtube channels never respond to comments.
In reply to manonillusts:
I'm not sure, I think they might have removed it since it was in 1.12 but for 1.16 I'm not sure.
Does anyone know of a similar mod or that generates an echo in the wide places for 1.17?
