Alters the fabric of Minecraft experience by weaving a tapestry of sound and visual effects

Small build I used during testing. Shows flame jets over mature netherwart and from lava pools. Steam jets can occur over water blocks adjacent to hot blocks (in this case lava under the cauldron).

Fire Jets spawn over lava source blocks. They do not harm the player or any mobs. The height and duration is based on the number of lava source blocks beneath the fire jet.

Steam Jets will be generated around areas where lava meets water.

Water that flows downward can generate splash particle effects as well as sound. The splashes are larger if the water falls a greater distance.

Naturally generated waterfall that I discovered wandering around in my test world. (The clouds are generated by Weather2.)

Testing some updates with Compitum Magia and came across this lava lake. It showcases steam jets, lava jets, and water splash particles from water falls. Not sure what that bat was thinking.

Description

Dynamic Surroundings has been updated for Minecraft 1.21.1, for both Fabric and NeoForge. This release takes a dependency on Architectury, meaning that it must be installed for the mods to work. Architectury does not currently support Forge for MC 1.21.1. I plan on making a Forge release once that support is available.

If you are looking for a Fabric 1.20.x versions, please refer to the Dynamic Surroundings: Fabric Edition project.

Features

Enhanced Sound processing - performs calculations in the background, adding a reverb effect to spacial sounds.
Individual Sound Control - Set key bind and activate in-game. Use this feature to block, cull, and control the volume at which sounds play. And as a bonus, you can play the sound to hear it.
Biome sounds - Atmospheric sounds that play based on biomes in the area. Seamless blending of sounds as the player moves throughout the world.
Fog density changes driven by biome, time of day, and weather.
Hot block effects such as flame jets over lava, and steam where water hits a hot block. Hot blocks are things Lava, Magma, campfires, and a cauldron containing lava.
Waterfall sound and visual effect - will trigger when flowing water is detected nearby.
Replace Minecraft's thunder sound with improved versions.
Remap of block step sounds to "improved" versions.
Various "DS" client side commands for dumping configuration information. (I currently use these while developing. I do plan to document at some point for general use.)
Custom debug HUD that can be accessed by key bind. Moves the Dynamic Surroundings clutter out of the traditional F3 display.
Compatibility with Serene Seasons - variations in seasons and temperatures can influence effects.
Dynamic Surroundings is compatible when connecting to a Vanilla servers. Both Fabric and NeoForge loaders can do this.
