MAmbience adds a large amount of dynamic ambient sounds.
The sounds get played depending of the players immediate surroundings.
While MAmbience comes with a large default setup all sounds and their conditions are fully defined and adjustable using configuration files.
MAmbience currently supports three installation methods:
- Fabric mod
- Currently supported Version: 1.14.3
- Install on server side (or both, mod contains resourcepack for client)
- Vanilla Clients have to use the provided resource pack to be able to hear the sounds.
- Spigot Plugin
- Currently supported Version: 1.14.3 - 1.13.2
- Vanilla Clients have to use the provided resource pack to be able to hear the sounds.
- Sponge Plugin
- Currently supported Version: 1.12.2 (newer version should work once released)
- Vanilla Clients have to use the provided resource pack to be able to hear the sounds.
(other MC versions might also work, especially using the Fabric mod, but I do not officially support them)
(starting with Version 0.4.2 the supported MC Versions can also be found in the changelog)
Resource Pack (only required when using vanilla client):
Starting with Version 0.5.0 the resourcepack will no longer be hosted externally for maintenance reasons. To export the resourcepack matching a mod/plugin version run the jar file with this command (adjust the command to the newest version of course):
java -cp Mambience-0.5.1.jar me.andre111.mambience.resources.RPGenerator
I have installed mod and use the resource pack extract from jar file, but i cant hear any sound ? Whats problem, even i tried other version but seem doesn't work. 1.14.3 fabric and only client side only btw
In reply to ngolamaz3:
When installing the mod client side only, it will only work in singleplayer worlds. Also make sure your ambient volume slider is not set to zero and check the log for any errors.
when using the command "java -cp Mambience-0.5.0.jar me.andre111.mambience.resources.RPGenerator"
it gives me this error
Error: Could not find or load main class me.andre111.mambience.resources.RPGenerator
im running it in the same folder as the jar
edit: figured out i was using 0.5.1 not 0.5.0
if i were to install this on a spigot server, is it optional for people to install the fabric mod, like they can join the server without the mod and play normally without the new sounds?
In reply to stw222:
Vanilla clients can always join a server using Mambience (be that a Spigot, Fabric or Sponge Server).
But in order to hear the sounds the client will either have to use the resourcepack or install the fabric mod (which on clientside basically acts as a resourcepack only)
Bummer, didn't realize this was fabric until it failed to load.
Just to let you know, the latest 1.14 version also works with 1.14.2 not just 1.14.3
I have it on my 1.14.2 Spigot sever, and it works great! Fantastic! Er… it's ok, I guess. On second thought, it's uhm… er, ya know, is there a general setting for OH GOD please not non-stop?! And yes, having the sound be more subtle (say 50% or so) would help a great deal. I actually LIKE the ambience. Non-stop? Not so much.
EDIT: I gave it further thought. "Control" of the sound really needs to be with the client as much as possible. My "ambience" setting is all the way up by default. I hear "stuff", the "stuff" is done, and wow, the train whistle was creepy in the cave, but let's move on! What you are offering *IS NOT* that. What I will need to do is put my ambience level down until I almost don't notice the sound anymore, and play with it that way. If it works for me like that, I will direct my players to simply fetch the resource pack, set their ambience at the level I'm using to try it out, adjust to suit, or remove the resource pack if they don't care for it.
I'll give this a shot that way, then report back how it works out for us.

I'm using Mambience only on the server, not with my 1.14.2 Fabric client. I'm using the Mambience resource pack, and I hear the background sounds quite clearly. Unfortunately, even setting my "ambience" audio at ZERO, I hear the sounds at 100%. I can only shut off Mambience if I set "ambience" to "off." I'm not clear at all why my client does not respect the "ambience" volume setting. If this can be worked out, Mambience would be a winner. :)
In reply to RomaqRosher:
I'm currently trying to reevaluate my choice here.
The problem lies in limitations of the Minecraft sound engine. Currently I play sounds with above "maximum" volume level. This basically tells the Client to play the sound without a specific location but causes the problem you described. The sound volume can now no longer be controlled by the client except for disabling it completely. If I (or you, its annoying work but it can be done in the config) change this to allow the client to controll the sound volume the sounds become "positional". This means they change direction and fade if the player turns or moves which also becomes annoying.
If you still want the second option, I can look into providing a simpler (single value) config option to change between the two modes.
In reply to andre111_:
A Boolean for the option may be best. It would also not be bad to put this in feedback.minecraft.net as "when using a command block to produce an ambient sound" then restate your response to me. I recall having the same issue in Vanilla command block: I can't produce "ambient" without it being positional. If you provide a link to your feedback post *here*, I'm sure fans of your mod will vote for that, and others may be interested as well. The Vanilla should have that as a "command line" boolen option. *YOU* should not have to do that within your mod, and such a change will help everyone with this problem if we can drag Mojang to put that boolen in there.
But for now, yeah... I'd rather give client control and allow for the behavior you describe. Hopefully we can get Mojang to make the change so we get the behavior we *really* want.
In reply to RomaqRosher:
Actually I found a (new in 1.14?) option inside the Resourcepack definitions which make the sounds no longer fade with distance. The sound still pans between channels when the player rotates but I think that is atleast aceptable.
The current plan for the next version thus is as follows:
I adjust the resourcepack using the new option.
No new toggle option will be introduced.
I adjust the sound volumes to the normal range (0-1).
Resulting in this behaviour:
Sounds do NOT fade when the player moves.
The ambient slider actually affects the volume of ambient sounds.
Sounds WILL pan when the player turns. (Only undesired effect left and it is not too noticeable)
In reply to andre111_:
Excellent! Thank you so much. :)
In reply to RomaqRosher:
I just uploaded Version 0.5.0 with the described changes.
Please note that if you use the Resourcepack Version 0.5.0 needs a new rp aswell to work as described. But the correct RP for a version can now be "generated" by the jar file simply by running it with this command (its all one line):
In reply to andre111_:
Thank you. I'm testing all this now that I'm off work. :)

$ java -cp Mambience-0.5.0.jar me.andre111.mambiance.resources.RPGenerator
Error: Could not find or load main class me.andre111.mambiance.resources.RPGenerator
It appears it does not like that main class. I'll try unpacking and see if I can figure out why it throws the exception. Misspelling, perhaps?
EDIT: Spelling. "mambience" works. Got it!
EDIT2: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Sounds.json/Java_Edition_values
i.e. block/beacon/ambient, attenuation_distance = 7, volume = 0.9
I attempted the plugin, but I still had the problem of "full background sound 0-100% until I set volume "off".
I also had a crash on login that took out the server. I can file a bug report tomorrow in the GIT, but for now I've deactivated the plugin.
EDIT3: Drat, I thought there was a place to post issues & bug reports. Where should I do a log dump so you can trace where mambience thread-locked the server? Also, I note "ambience" is spelled correctly everywhere except where you posted the command line in a post above. I think my misspelling of the word rubbed off on you. ;-p
In reply to RomaqRosher:
You will have to delete the config files (engine.json and the soundscapes directory) and let 0.5 regenerate them to correctly get the adjusted sound volumes.
The code currently lies on a private git server, the original plan was to make that public, but it turned out to be a lot more complicated than I thought. I will probably move it to a public git hoster sometime soon.
In the mean time dumping the log into pastebin would suffice. But I probably can guess my quick concurrent modification "fix" is responsible for locking up the server.
In reply to andre111_:
I'll delete the config directory and get you that pastebin. Otherwise, I'll hold off activating this until the next update. I'd really not want the server threads to lock up while I'm at work and oblivious to the situation/ unable to do anything about it if I got the message during break.
https://gist.github.com/Romaq/47b003153b5684f00852cfdeefd94b05 has the log snippet. I didn't include the whole log as it would have IPs and such.
In reply to RomaqRosher:
Ok, it's as I suspected. My cheap fix for avoiding concurrent modifications clashes with internal synchronization features of spigot causing all important threads to wait for each other. I'm currently building Version 0.5.1 to fix this, it should be available to download soon.
In reply to andre111_:
Cool! I know this business isn't easy, I've not a clue on how to go about it. And this is definitely a "nice to have, but not mission critical" thing. ;-) I look forward to the update.
Will you update it for 1.14.2 and 1.13.2?
