Charmonium

by svenhjol

With Charmonium installed, the quiet overworld gains biome-specific ambient sounds by day and night, plus cave, mineshaft and village sounds.

What it does

Biome-specific environment sounds play during the day and at night, giving the landscape more depth than the vanilla soundscape offers. Cave sounds grow louder as a player digs deeper and soften once the surrounding area is lit. Mineshafts carry wooden creaking, and villages produce general activity sounds during daylight hours.

Charmonium runs on the Fabric and Quilt loaders and is a client-side only mod, so servers do not need it and players can join vanilla servers such as Realms without installing it on the server. Fabric API is required. Files target 1.17 – 1.21, with 8 release versions covered, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Biome ambient sounds

    Each biome plays its own environment sounds, and the set changes between day and night.

  2. Depth-based cave audio

    Cave sounds rise in intensity with depth and fade when the area around the player is lit.

  3. Mineshaft creaking

    Mineshafts play wooden creaking sounds that match the structure's setting.

  4. Village activity

    Villages produce general activity sounds during the day.

  5. Ambient volume slider

    Ambient sound volume is adjusted with the Ambient Sounds slider in Minecraft's options.
