Dynamic Piston Volume
by AdiBTW
Dynamic Piston Volume makes the sound of pistons depend on how many blocks each piston pushes, so larger pushes sound louder and smaller ones quieter.
What it does
Pistons normally play the same sound no matter how much they move. With this mod installed, a piston that pushes fewer blocks plays at a lower volume and a higher pitch, while a piston pushing more blocks plays louder. The aim is to keep small builds quiet while preserving the weight of larger movements. Files are published for Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code is open.

With this mod, the piston volume and pitch are impacted by how many blocks are being pushed. The less blocks pushed, the lower the volume and the higher the pitch. I plan…
