About ImmersiveFX

ImmersiveFX is a fork of Dynamic Surroundings, originally created by OreCruncher.

The mod expands Minecraft's atmosphere with additional sound events, particles, realistic Foley effects, and completely original audio. It replaces every sound from Dynamic Surroundings alongside several vanilla Minecraft sounds to create a more immersive experience.

ImmersiveFX also gives players greater control over in-game sounds while enhancing the overall ambience of Minecraft.

Combined Features

ImmersiveFX 1.16.5 combines four modules into a single mod:

  • Dynamic Surroundings: Sound Control
  • Dynamic Surroundings: Environs
  • Dynamic Surroundings: Mob Effects
