Realistic Falling Sound
Realistic Falling Sound adds a wind sound that plays while a player falls long distances on Fabric for 1.21.1, which is 1.21.11 only.
What it does
The sound begins once vertical speed reaches about 10 blocks per second, so a long fall is accompanied by wind rather than silence. The mod is meant to make long drops in Minecraft feel more immersive. It is a client mod: only the player's own client needs it, and servers run without it. It is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11 only, with 1.0.2 as the latest beta file, released under the MIT License. It is not open source.
Key features
Wind sound while falling
A wind sound plays during long falls, so the drop has an audible presence instead of relying on the visual alone.
Speed-based trigger
Playback starts once the fall reaches a vertical speed of about 10 blocks per second, not at the first step off a ledge.
Config options
The mod includes a config that lets a player toggle the effect, so the sound can be switched off.
