About this project
What does Resonance add?
Resonance is a cross-platform clientside mod which adds ambient sounds that play under different conditions, including: different biomes, nearby blocks, time, seasons (if Serene Seasons is installed), etc.
With the release of 1.21.5 adding ambient sand sounds and firefly bush sounds, I felt that a lot more could have been done with ambiance, including having a higher variety of sounds to make the game feel more alive. Resonance is the solution to that problem. Unlike other ambient sound mods, Resonance doesn't play a simple loop containing all of the sounds of a biome, rather it plays a combination of idle loops and additional sounds under specific conditions. This makes the game feel more immersive and gives a more realisic feeling to the ambiance around you compared to other mods, while also not deviating far from the style of the vanilla game's preexisting ambiance.
Alongside that, Resonance also enhances thunder by playing different sounds depending on distance, making storms now feel more menancing than before. And of course, this and everything else mentioned can be configured.
FAQs
Will this mod be backported to version X?
NO and please don't ask for a backport. This mod will recieve updates to newer versions, but no version before 1.21.5 will be ported to by any means. You are free however, to backport it yourself, but please make sure to note that said backport is unofficial.
Will other mods that add biomes have ambient sounds?
Yes, as long as the modded biomes use conventional tags. (ex. #c:is_forest), most use these so feel free to use whatever biome mods you want to!
Can I play with this mod while connected to a non-modded server?
Absolutely! Resonance is a client-side mod and doesn't rely on any server functionality. Feel free to use this mod while playing on any of your favorite servers!
Can I use Resonance in my modpack?
Yes! Resonance is free to be used in any modpack that you wish to put it in. No strings attached.
