Atmosfera
by Fourmisain
With Atmosfera installed, ambient sounds in the world change with the player's surroundings, from the dimension and the time of day to the height above ground and the sky visibility.
What it does
Atmosfera plays a configurable ambient sound system on the client. Sound resources are customizable, and each one is chosen from conditions evaluated in a sphere or hemisphere around the player, so the soundscape shifts as the player moves between caves, open plains and forests.
The conditions include the dimension, the distance from the ground, the percentage of biomes and blocks nearby, the percentage of visible sky and the period of the day. Biome mods work with it as long as they use the right biome and block tags. The mod requires Cloth Config API and Fabric API, and Mod Menu is optional for opening its settings. It is published for Fabric only, across 32 release versions, and is released under the Apache License 2.0, so the code is open source.
Key features
Dimension-based sounds
Sound sets can be tied to a specific dimension, so the overworld, the nether and the end each get their own ambience.
Height and sky visibility
Conditions on distance from the ground and on the share of visible sky let sounds change when the player is underground or under a roof.
Biome and block percentages
Ambient sounds can respond to the proportion of nearby biomes and blocks, so a forest edge and a deep forest sound different.
Time of day
Sounds can be limited to a period of the day, letting night ambience replace daytime sounds automatically.
Vanilla server support
Because it runs on the client, the mod can be used on vanilla servers without any server-side installation.
