Dynamic Surroundings Rebirth by uawiegrfv
by uawyiegrfv
Dynamic Surroundings Rebirth brings the classic ambient experience of Dynamic Surroundings to modern Minecraft, rebuilt for Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
The mod is a Forge and NeoForge port of the original Dynamic Surroundings by OreCruncher, written by uawyiegrfv. It restores most of the original feature set and adds new content of its own. Biome ambience, material footsteps, aurora and fog effects, and weather are the core of the experience, and the sound design layers rain, thunder and wind according to intensity.
Weather runs through the whole set. Rain sounds shift with the surface it lands on, including glass, metal and wood. Overcast days give way to storms that darken the world, and water plants bead rain along their upper edges. Desert sandstorms and Nether dust rain add a yellow-tinted screen. Dynamic Surroundings Rebirth requires Architectury API, and Cloth Config API is optional. Some features need a server running the mod to apply, and without that support a few do not appear. The mod is open source under the MIT License, with audio drawn from several sources under CC0, CC 3.0 and CC 4.0 licences.
