ImmersiveThunder
by netcatgirl
Players hear thunder louder and sharper when a strike is close, and softer and more delayed when it is far, through ImmersiveThunder's added sounds.
What it does
ImmersiveThunder adds new thunder sounds and plays them according to the distance between the player and the lightning strike. Nearer strikes sound louder and more intense, while distant ones sound softer and arrive later. The mod is client-side only, so servers run without it and only players install it.
Required dependencies are Cloth Config API and Fabric API for the Fabric build. Mod Menu is optional. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker public. Files exist for 1.19.3 – 1.21.6 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt.
Key features
Distance-based thunder
Sound volume and intensity change with the player's distance from each lightning strike.
Delayed distant thunder
Thunder from far-off strikes arrives later and sounds softer, matching how sound travels.
Added thunder sounds
New thunder recordings join the default ones, so storms vary more from one strike to the next.

What the author says
ImmersiveThunder adds new thunder sounds to the game and plays them dynamically based on the player’s distance from the source. The closer you are, the louder and more intense the sound will be. The farther you are, the softer and more delayed the sound will be.
