Atmosfera is a client-side ambient sound system with customizable, atmospheric sound resources for Minecraft Fabric.
The Atmosfera System
- The client-side nature allows it to be used even on Vanilla servers.
- It provides dynamic soundscape depending on several conditions and modifiers within a sphere/hemisphere around the player:
- Dimension,
- Distance from the ground,
- Height,
- Percentage of biomes,
- Percentage of blocks,
- Percentage of the sky visibility,
- Period of the day,
- Rainy weather,
- Stormy weather,
- Playback uses smooth transitions.
- Cloth Config settings for volumes and subtitles can be configured with or without Mod Menu.
- Sound files and events are stored as resources allowing users to customize and create their own Atmosfera resource packs.
For more information on that, check out the documentation!
Installation
- Install Fabric Loader, Fabric API, Cloth Config, probably Mod Menu, and of course Atmosfera.
- Activate the built-in or a custom Atmosfera resource pack!
- Presence Footsteps is suggested to enhance the sound experience.
- Similar ambient sound mods or data packs are not recommended to be used together with Atmosfera since the soundscapes might conflict.
