Presence Footsteps (NeoForge)
With Presence Footsteps, each block the player steps on plays its own sound with every movement, and players can add custom sounds of their own.
What it does
Footsteps now change with the surface underneath. Each block triggers an audio effect as the player moves across it, giving walking a more dynamic sound than the vanilla set. Players can also define their own custom sounds for blocks.
Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source. Builds cover 1.21 – 1.21.8 on NeoForge, and the latest file is 1.21.6-1.12.0-beta.1 for 1.21.8, in the beta channel.
Key features
Block-specific footsteps
Walking on a block plays a sound matched to that block, so grass, stone and other surfaces each sound different.
Custom footstep sounds
Players can create their own sounds and assign them to footsteps, changing the audio of the game.
Movement-triggered audio
Each step triggers an audio effect, so the sound follows the player's movement rather than playing on a timer.
