ВЕРСИИ (37)

**AI Disclosure** * Used to extend the storm simulation system for rendering and handling * Assisted in the creation of the ground fog feature * Helped with integrating Simple Voice Chat * Used to extend steam and flame jet effects, adding additional particles, shader, and lighting where appropriate * Rebuilt the clock overlay to use an old pocket watch texture with embedded indicators for diurnal cycle, seasons or moon phase (depending on if Serene Seasons is installed) * Added the option to show the compass and pocket watch in a side or corner of the screen * Integrated older compass rose textures as possible selections for the compass, and cleaning up the textures * Ported the light level HUD from older versions as a light level overlay, drawn from a texture for speed * Identified root causes of several issues and help with the fix **What's New** * Simulated wind affects movement and behavior of Dynamic Surroundings particles * Includes mist, steam, flame jets, breath, and precipitation (see below) * Also includes a select group of particles such as Minecraft's smoke, ash, and falling leaves * Windy biome sound effects have volumes dynamically adjusted based on wind speed * Becomes louder or quieter as time progresses * Enhanced when it is storming * Client side storm simulation, based on older Dynamic Surroundings versions * Only works in dimensions where there are no modded hooks for weather rendering * Random seeds tied to the Minecraft day so all players using Dynamic Surroundings will experience the same effects * When precipitation starts, the storm simulator generates a strength value independent of Minecraft's rain strength * During a storm the strength surges and eases off below its peak, changing every half minute or so; how far it can ease is the Storm variation option in Weather Options * The precipitation effects are "particle" like rather than rendered texture sheets, though they are not true Minecraft particles * Rain drops with a slight slant, and will change direction based on wind * Rain tint option in Weather Options sets how blue the rain is, from a nearly colorless gray to a deep blue * Snow drops more slowly, and the impact of wind is more visible * Textures are sampled from Minecraft's snow.png texture at runtime, meaning the logic will sample any modded replacement * Sleet (a mix of rain and snow) can occur in transition zones (like elevation) * Dust storms will occur in deserts when raining, and particles will drift along the ground in the direction of wind * The dust particles will climb small inclines as well giving the impression of flowing over elevations * These particles are affected by the wind simulator * Serene Seasons will affect whether rain or dust blows in some biomes, such as Biomes OPlenty's Lush Desert * Various parts of the system can be enabled/disabled in the Weather Options section * Snowflakes lie where they land for a moment, then shrink and fade as they melt; blown by the wind into the side of a wall or tree trunk, they stick to it (Snow sticks to sides option in Weather Options) * Rain blown onto windows (glass blocks and panes) clings, then runs down the glass in short rushes, leaving a wet trail that dries, and drips off a bottom edge over open air; windows facing the wind and open to the sky get the most. Rain on windows option in Weather Options * For a while after rain stops, water drips from the lowest leaves of trees and from overhanging edges like eaves, less and less as things dry; edges drip while it rains too. Drips after rain option in Weather Options; works even with particle rain off * In the cold, frost grows on the outside of clear glass windows, in from the window's edges, thickest before sunrise; the sun melts it from east facing windows in the morning and west facing ones in the evening. Frost on windows option in Weather Options; `/dsweather frost 0-100` sets it for testing * The weather system will auto disable if Particle Rain or Simple Weather is installed * Brought back the compass rose textures from older mod versions * There are 3 rose styles to choose from * Textures were cleaned up from the originals * New pocket watch clock display, styled after Minecraft's clock * Shown above the crosshair (beside the compass if both are shown), with hour and minute hands that tick from minute to minute * Has some wear like an heirloom handed down: tarnish, scratches, a dent or two, and a hairline crack in the dial * A window under XII shows day or night, like Minecraft's clock, to tell noon from midnight * A window above VI shows the season when Serene Seasons is installed, or the moon's phase without it * Spins where the compass does (the Nether, the End), as Minecraft's clock does there; the clock text leaves out the time (`dsurround:effects/clock_wobble` picks which clocks) * Clock style option in Compass and Clock Options: text, pocket watch, or both; the Render scaling option applies to it as well * Pocket watch style option picks the look: CLASSIC (the worn round watch) or SQUARE (a square brass watch in pixel art) * The compass and clock on/off switches are now a NONE choice in their styles; a switch that was off carries over as NONE * Option to show the compass and pocket watch in a side or corner of the screen while one is in the hot bar or off hand, rather than above the crosshair while held * Show in screen margin option in Compass and Clock Options turns it on; Screen margin position picks one of the four sides or four corners (left by default) * Shown together, they sit one above the other on the sides and corners, and side by side at the top and bottom * The compass rose is upright there, turning with your heading; the compass band is drawn at half size * Clock text is still shown only while a clock is held * The compass band texture is now smoothed, so it no longer flickers as it slides at small sizes * Light level overlay, back from older versions: numbers on the blocks around the player that monsters could stand on, colored by whether they can spawn there * Turned on and off with the Light Level Overlay key (unbound to start with, under Dynamic Surroundings in the controls) * Red where monsters can spawn now, yellow where they can at night, green where it is too bright, aqua where they can never spawn; DARK colors also available * Spawning follows the dimension's own rules: in the Overworld any block light keeps monsters away, in the Nether it goes by light level 7 * Shows block light, skylight, or the brighter of the two; range of 8 to 32 blocks; can hide the safe blocks * A legend in the bottom right corner of the screen says what the colors mean, and can be turned off * The numbers are drawn with the game's font, so a resource pack that changes the font changes them too * Light Level Options in the configuration * **[Experimental]** Ground fog in swamps and spooky biomes like Dark Forest and BOPs Ominous Forest * Heavy rains can thin it out, higher density between midnight and morning * Wind can shift the drift direction and speed * Should clear when inside * There is a quality setting in Weather Options that allow you to control the ground fog rendering parameters * OFF, Fast, Fancy, and Fabulous; defaults to Fancy * Fast has some artifacting; Fabulous looks much better but will be computationally intensive (of course NONE is the most performant :D) * **[Experimental]** Support for Simple Voice Chat with enhanced sound processing * On by default; setting can be found in the Enhanced Sounds configuration options * Hear Self diagnostics setting can be found in the Diagnostics Settings config section; disabled by default * Will auto disable if enhanced sound processing is not available (ex, Sound Physics Remastered is installed) * New /dsweather command to control aspects of simulated wind and storm * I use for testing but if you want to play around with it go ahead - doesn't affect game mechanics * New /dsconflicts command lists in chat the Dynamic Surroundings features turned off because another mod is installed, and which mod * For example, Particle Rain turns off the particle weather and water ripples; Presence Footsteps turns off the wet surface accents and brush step effect * New /dsprofile command records a performance profile of the game, to send to the mod's authors when something seems slow * Just `/dsprofile` records two minutes of play as usual; `/dsprofile <scene> [seconds]` picks a scene to record instead: `ground_fog`, `weather` or `frost` shows that effect at its heaviest * A note at the top of the screen shows the time left, and chat says where the recording was saved when it is done (click the name to open it) * Recordings are saved zipped, ready to attach to an issue on GitHub, in the dsurround config folder under `profiles`; only the newest 10 are kept * Recordings note what they were made on: the graphics card and driver, the graphics settings, render distance, and the Java and Windows/Mac/Linux versions * Personal information is left out of the recordings: no account names, folders, command line or network addresses * Uses Java Flight Recorder, which comes with most Java installs; if yours doesn't have it, the command says so **Changes** * Updated steam effect to utilize the core logic and rendering of waterfall mist * Reworked the flame jet effect, reusing the mist particle with color tinting and smoke * Configuration options for flame jet were moved into its own configuration section * Updated aurora rendering to utilize the simulated rain strength and weather fog effects, meaning that for light precipitation the aurora will still render though a bit muted * Config settings for experimental features are colored "orchid" to distinguish from other options * Experimental options/features are subject to change and may be removed in a future release * The config file (dsurround.json) now notes settings that only take effect after restarting Minecraft or rejoining the world * Aurora shader was modified to use a noise map rather than hashing in the shader. Result is that the style of aurora could change between computers that are running different versions of Dynamic Surroundings. * Reuse reverb calculations between sounds that have their source close to each other * Features turned off because of another mod are now listed together: in the log at startup, and in the diagnostics overlay * Less work for ground fog, random block effects and waterfall foam (found by profiling a large modpack) * Tooltips on the config screen and the individual sound screen wait until the mouse rests for half a second, and stay hidden while a slider is dragged * Better biome traits for modded biomes missing tags * A biome's tags are no longer overridden by guesses: a modded biome tagged cold stays cold even when its temperature looks temperate * Guesses come from the biome's vanilla music, grass, and ambient sounds first, then its climate, then its name; names match whole words, so "alpine" isn't a pine forest * Before guessing, the biome's definition in its mod's jar is read for how many trees it grows: dense or sparse vegetation, and a forest, without a guess (works on servers too, as the mod is installed on the client) * A biome playing swamp music or named a bog or swamp stays a swamp however many trees it has; caves and water biomes don't count trees * Trees count in whichever generation step the mod places them (No Man's Land puts most of its forests' outside the vegetation step) * Vanilla biomes have the same traits on every server: the mod's own table settles their temperature, moisture and vegetation where Fabric's or NeoForge's tags disagree * A biome named a shore is a beach but not wet, like vanilla's stony shore * More biome names understood: fields, plains, meadows and prairies; seas; streams and lakes; savannas; plateaus; highlands; tundra and glaciers * `/dsdump biomes` shows where each trait came from, and ends with a list of biomes to check: traits guessed from music, grass or name, or no dimension or kind at all, to help write tag files for them * In single player it checks each biome's dimension against where the world generates it, and lists each dimension's biomes * A biome only in modded dimensions (or, on a server, of a mod with dimensions of its own) isn't listed for having no kind: it is often its dimension's only biome * The traits shipped for other mods' biomes are now tag files in each mod's folder (`assets/<mod>/dsconfigs/tags/worldgen/biome/is_<trait>.json`), read only when that mod is installed * Nature's Spirit's alpine and highlands biomes are windswept, as intended: their tag file was misnamed and never read * Tags for Spectrum's Deeper Down biomes its own tags leave out (deep dripstone caves, noxshroom forest), and No Man's Land's mud beach (a beach, not a swamp) and tropical beach * `traits` and `clearTraits` in `biomes.json` are deprecated (a warning is logged): they are added after the guesses, where a tag file settles a trait before any guess **Fixes** * Individual sound volumes and the ambient volume option now hold for sounds that tick, the mod's own biome loops among them (they fell back to the game's volume after their first tick, and every playing sound did when a volume slider moved); turning down a loud sound, such as an explosion, now makes it quieter * Possible crash with Enhanced Sounds ("Accessed LegacyRandomSource from multiple threads"): its worker threads read a playing sound's volume, which draws on the same random source the game uses for it each tick; each sound's hearing range is now taken once, on the client thread, when it starts * Sound pruning no longer drops sounds that could still be heard: looping, moving and streamed ones (a music disc started out of range, a machine's hum) play as the game would, and fade in as you come closer; a sound louder than 1 is given the game's longer range rather than let through * With a mod that turns the game's fog off (Distant Horizons), the log no longer fills with invalid fog range warnings, and the fog is left off: rain, morning and biome fog would only cover the game's own terrain, not the far terrain that mod draws, so they stand aside, and their work stops, while it is off (#201) * Particle rain, snow and damp spots turned themselves off in the overworld with Stellar View installed (NeoForge): it replaces the overworld's sky effects, which was taken to mean it draws its own weather. Now only a dimension whose effects draw or tick their own weather is left to them * Water ripples are visible when looking from underwater. During the day they are faint rings; at night they are more visible. * Added Twilight Forest dimension configuration to set sea level. * Moved aurora render hook to avoid conflict with Astral Sorcery's sky render * Fog being applied to SPOOKY underground biomes, like BOPs spider nest * Rendering issues when Fabulous! graphics enabled * [MAYBE] Infrequent crash in fastutil collection when rendering block entities, seen with Create belts * Underwater in vanilla's oceans (other than deep ones) used the plain underwater sounds rather than the oceans when Fabric's or NeoForge's biome tags were present * Ground fog didn't work with Mesa graphics drivers (common on Linux): its shader used a word GLSL reserves * The log filled with "Fog calculator ... reporting invalid fog range" warnings underwater, where vanilla's fog starts behind the camera * With the audio device gone (headphones turned off) and nothing else to play on, the game tried to restart sound every tick and logged a stack trace each time, growing the log by gigabytes overnight. It now tries every few seconds and logs the failure once; sound comes back as before once a device is there (Sound System option "Throttle Audio Device Retries", on by default) * With Veil installed, the log showed "Couldn't load vanilla shader from dsurround:shaders/core/point_light.vsh" with a stack trace at each resource reload: Veil's shader parser can't read a return without a value. The lights always worked; the shader no longer uses one

Now only a dimension whose effects draw or tick their own weather is left to them * Water ripples are visible when looking from underwater. During the day they are faint rings; at night they are more visible. * Added Twilight Forest dimension configuration to set sea level. * Moved aurora render hook to avoid conflict with Astral Sorcery's sky render * Fog being applied to SPOOKY underground biomes, like BOPs spider nest * Rendering issues when Fabulous! graphics enabled * [MAYBE] Infrequent crash in fastutil collection when rendering block entities, seen with Create belts * Underwater in vanilla's oceans (other than deep ones) used the plain underwater sounds rather than the oceans when Fabric's or NeoForge's biome tags were present * Ground fog didn't work with Mesa graphics drivers (common on Linux): its shader used a word GLSL reserves * The log filled with "Fog calculator ... reporting invalid fog range" warnings underwater, where vanilla's fog starts behind the camera * With the audio device gone (headphones turned off) and nothing else to play on, the game tried to restart sound every tick and logged a stack trace each time, growing the log by gigabytes overnight.

In subsequent releases it should be shorter. :) Starting with **1.21.1-0.4.6** I am using AI to assist with modding (Claude Code Pro if you are interested). To establish a bit more context, I am a software engineer with almost 40 years industry experience (50 if you include high school and other personal projects), primarily working on backend systems. I personally believe that AI has a role in modding, but the challenge is having the "wisdom" and "experience" of applying it "properly" (notice all the quotes). Further, there are qualitative differences in work product between the different AI models, and a lack of software experience on the users part runs the risk of releasing something that is low quality. Unfortunately there isn't much I can do about this particular situation, other than be transparent about my use of AI. (I am aware of the broader discussion/issues of AI.) If you have constructive feedback or questions related to my AI experience feel free to comment [here](https://github.com/OreCruncher/DynamicSurroundingsFabric/discussions). These are the details of my use and the result it had on my mod so you can make an informed decision. My hope is to demonstrate how AI can be applied in ways other than "generate me a texture" or "create a mod that looks like that mod so I can publish it as my own". Summary: * Code review: finding bugs, performance problems, and places that didn't follow best practices * Refactoring: restructuring code so it can be unit tested (isolation, mocking), removing duplicate code, and cleaning up config processing * Testing: writing an extensive set of unit tests * GUIs: making the mod's screens consistent with how Minecraft's own screens work * Mod compatibility: analyzing how the mod interacts with other mods and making improvements * Visual effects: reworked noise textures, added particle shaders, and integrated the shader based aurora from older versions * Planning ahead: working out the migration path to Minecraft 26.2 so it is easier and less error-prone Results: *Testing and maintainability* * Added 1400+ unit tests to validate internal logic * Refactored, eliminating static references in favor of injection * Found duplicate code and refactored to remove the redundancy * Removed dead code, or code that wasn't actually providing any value (always return true, didn't contribute anything meaningful, etc.) * Produced comments for undocumented methods where clarification was needed *Performance* * Script engine performance improved by roughly 40% * Fixed performance issues in the area block event scanner, making it about 50% faster * There were a lot of cases where it would do a needless double scan * Identified a Minecraft biome blend behavior and tuned the area biome scanner to take advantage, reducing the number of samples by 85% * Improved performance and resource usage of the waterfall and steam producer effect systems * Reduced calculations in the sound effect engine (reverb) where possible * Basically, it only does calculations if any of the critical factors changed, like player block position, block state changes in the area, etc. * Added an annotation processor to generate event loop implementations instead of using reflection (less overhead, no allocations) * This is for the mod's internal event system, not Architectury/Fabric/NeoForge * Fixed GUI render performance issues *Reliability* * Fixed edge cases where caches weren't flushed or data held a reference to an object that could go out of scope (like Entities) * Added throttling where repeated errors could spam the log * Improved error detection and reporting for scripts and json configurations * Mod configuration logic handles bad input from hand edits, and writes comments into the config file * Improved Markdown parsing robustness and performance (Sound Credits dialog) * Validation of dependency injection entries to detect circular dependencies (cycles) earlier in the startup process (a development aid rather than a player facing issue) *Features* * Waterfall mist and foam, firefly glow and lighting, and the return of the aurora (see What's New) **What's New** * Added /dsversion command that will query version status from my GitHub and report back in the local chat. Response will have clickable links so you can navigate to various information sources. This command will work regardless if the chat report on login is disabled. (Some modpack authors disable chat reporting on client login.) * Added "Sound Credits" button to the Sound Options dialog. Clicking will display credit and attribution information about the sounds in the mod. (This information is also buried in the tool tips when hovering over sounds in the sound configuration menu.) * Humanoid mobs gain brush and straw step effect (skeletons, zombies, raiders, etc.) Did not do creepers, sorry. * Cleaned up mod config processing * Added comments to fields when writing out the configuration file. User comments will not be preserved. * Added mechanisms to migrate existing settings to new fields when the config is loaded * The aurora is back. There are a set of options in the configuration to enable/disable, adjust frequency, as well as the max number of bands. * New version takes about 1/10th the compute to render (no more computer space heater) * Shows in the northern sky while standing in cold/icy/taiga biomes * There is a new Aurora configuration section where it can be enabled/disabled, and other properties modified * Will auto disable if Iris or Oculus is installed. * Waterfall mist (replaces the relatively new cascade) and water foam. * Mist - swirls at the bottom of a waterfall drops (falling water hitting a surface) * Foam - generates when water drops down a block, or when water hits a surface. Foam will flow with the direction of water and eventually fade. * Options are in the Waterfall Options section of the configuration. (Previous settings, if any, are migrated.) * Shader blending will auto disable if Iris or Oculus is installed. * Refreshed firefly effect so that they behave more like fireflies; added a glow around them that lights up the area a bit. * Options are in the Firefly Options section. (Previous settings, if any, are migrated.) * Will auto disable shader lighting if Iris or Oculus is installed. * Extended debug hud for Dynamic Surroundings. If the key is bound, hitting it will toggle between the normal HUD, information about the player biome, and the effect system placements in world. **Changes** * Search box in the Individual Sound Configuration menu will accept regular expressions for filtering * Reduced the default reverb ray distance from 256 to 128 * Existing configs will still have 256 (because the new upper bound is 256) so you can reduce if you want * Math models and testing showed anything more than 110 would give marginal improvements to sound * Ensured all Dynamic Surroundings footstep sounds are mono, and removed on the fly mono-conversion support * Removed the waterfall cascade effect as it is replaced by mist and foam * Backported fog calculator changes from 26.2 to 1.21.1 * Biome fog should be softer * Sky fog is taken into account * Configuration in player resource packs is read whatever its namespace, so a pack can bring its own sounds and the configuration that plays them (such as Dynamic Surroundings Extended under `dsurround_ex`) **Fixes** * Some caches weren't properly flushed when the level changes (as when changing dimensions) * Edge cases where caches were holding direct references to things longer than they should (like Entities) * Cases related to validation and handling of configuration data coming from external sources (better error reporting, etc.) * Sound effects when the player is underwater are properly dampened * Some of the math in reverb calculations were lossy, and as a result sounds were muted a bit (about 8 - 20% depending on environment) * I do not directly hear the difference, but it seems like the listening experience is improved * Breath effect underwater is back (bubbles being emitted) * Will be disabled if breath effect is disabled. * Fixed issue when joining a remote server where a tag sync is not detected and Dynamic Surroundings tag cache is not cleared

In subsequent releases it should be shorter. :) Starting with **1.21.1-0.4.6** I am using AI to assist with modding (Claude Code Pro if you are interested). To establish a bit more context, I am a software engineer with almost 40 years industry experience (50 if you include high school and other personal projects), primarily working on backend systems. I personally believe that AI has a role in modding, but the challenge is having the "wisdom" and "experience" of applying it "properly" (notice all the quotes). Further, there are qualitative differences in work product between the different AI models, and a lack of software experience on the users part runs the risk of releasing something that is low quality. Unfortunately there isn't much I can do about this particular situation, other than be transparent about my use of AI. (I am aware of the broader discussion/issues of AI.) If you have constructive feedback or questions related to my AI experience feel free to comment [here](https://github.com/OreCruncher/DynamicSurroundingsFabric/discussions). These are the details of my use and the result it had on my mod so you can make an informed decision. My hope is to demonstrate how AI can be applied in ways other than "generate me a texture" or "create a mod that looks like that mod so I can publish it as my own". Summary: * Code review: finding bugs, performance problems, and places that didn't follow best practices * Refactoring: restructuring code so it can be unit tested (isolation, mocking), removing duplicate code, and cleaning up config processing * Testing: writing an extensive set of unit tests * GUIs: making the mod's screens consistent with how Minecraft's own screens work * Mod compatibility: analyzing how the mod interacts with other mods and making improvements * Visual effects: reworked noise textures, added particle shaders, and integrated the shader based aurora from older versions * Planning ahead: working out the migration path to Minecraft 26.2 so it is easier and less error-prone Results: *Testing and maintainability* * Added 1400+ unit tests to validate internal logic * Refactored, eliminating static references in favor of injection * Found duplicate code and refactored to remove the redundancy * Removed dead code, or code that wasn't actually providing any value (always return true, didn't contribute anything meaningful, etc.) * Produced comments for undocumented methods where clarification was needed *Performance* * Script engine performance improved by roughly 40% * Fixed performance issues in the area block event scanner, making it about 50% faster * There were a lot of cases where it would do a needless double scan * Identified a Minecraft biome blend behavior and tuned the area biome scanner to take advantage, reducing the number of samples by 85% * Improved performance and resource usage of the waterfall and steam producer effect systems * Reduced calculations in the sound effect engine (reverb) where possible * Basically, it only does calculations if any of the critical factors changed, like player block position, block state changes in the area, etc. * Added an annotation processor to generate event loop implementations instead of using reflection (less overhead, no allocations) * This is for the mod's internal event system, not Architectury/Fabric/NeoForge * Fixed GUI render performance issues *Reliability* * Fixed edge cases where caches weren't flushed or data held a reference to an object that could go out of scope (like Entities) * Added throttling where repeated errors could spam the log * Improved error detection and reporting for scripts and json configurations * Mod configuration logic handles bad input from hand edits, and writes comments into the config file * Improved Markdown parsing robustness and performance (Sound Credits dialog) * Validation of dependency injection entries to detect circular dependencies (cycles) earlier in the startup process (a development aid rather than a player facing issue) *Features* * Waterfall mist and foam, firefly glow and lighting, and the return of the aurora (see What's New) **What's New** * Added /dsversion command that will query version status from my GitHub and report back in the local chat. Response will have clickable links so you can navigate to various information sources. This command will work regardless if the chat report on login is disabled. (Some modpack authors disable chat reporting on client login.) * Added "Sound Credits" button to the Sound Options dialog. Clicking will display credit and attribution information about the sounds in the mod. (This information is also buried in the tool tips when hovering over sounds in the sound configuration menu.) * Humanoid mobs gain brush and straw step effect (skeletons, zombies, raiders, etc.) Did not do creepers, sorry. * Cleaned up mod config processing * Added comments to fields when writing out the configuration file. User comments will not be preserved. * Added mechanisms to migrate existing settings to new fields when the config is loaded * The aurora is back. There are a set of options in the configuration to enable/disable, adjust frequency, as well as the max number of bands. * New version takes about 1/10th the compute to render (no more computer space heater) * Shows in the northern sky while standing in cold/icy/taiga biomes * There is a new Aurora configuration section where it can be enabled/disabled, and other properties modified * Will auto disable if Iris or Oculus is installed. * Waterfall mist (replaces the relatively new cascade) and water foam. * Mist - swirls at the bottom of a waterfall drops (falling water hitting a surface) * Foam - generates when water drops down a block, or when water hits a surface.

Reduces issues related to maintenance and future compatibility. Fabric JARs should be thinner. * Trident and Mace toolbar sound effects. * Waterfall cascade effect. Simulates turbulence and misting when water hits a surface. WIP - current implementation is passable (NeoForge looks better IMO). :) * Replace Minecraft's music manager with a modded version. This enables the use of music manager commands (/dsmm \[pause|unpause|reset|whatsplaying\]). Replacement can be disabled via the configuration. * Configuration option to reduce the wait times between music plays. By default, there will be no reduction in wait time. This feature is independent of music manager replacement. **Changes** * Updated Dynamic Surroundings tag names to match the conventional tag naming scheme (ex., "dsurround:is_axe" rather than "dsurround:axes"). Old tag names will continue to work though dependencies should be updated to use the new naming scheme. * Updated biome trait detection which should improve "out of the box" experience with modded biomes. * A bunch of changes related to mixin with the goal of simplifying and reduce chances of mixin related failures. **Fixes** * Added missing sound subtitles for mapped step sounds. * Fixed underground sounds playing with superflat worlds. * Defensive code for mods that create fake worlds as part of their feature set (The Aether's "quick join" for example). * Changed randomizer to use Xoroshiro from the Minecraft library (rather than JDK), and added thread safety checks. This should mitigate potential issues (or at least take Dynamic Surroundings out of the equation) with other mods performing cross-thread random number generation as well as Java runtimes that do not support Xoroshiro natively. * Fix rain ripple rendering issue when picking up items (it would flicker to black and back). This would show up frequently when fishing in the rain and picking up drops. * Fix null pointer exception with Cobblemon when the player utilizes an item while mounted (thanks Memori!). * Fix incorrect biome sound playing when underwater in Deep Ocean biome. * Fix sporadic null pointer exceptions when logging due to modpack mod load order and mixin wild west dependencies (thanks SylvanSerenity!). * Reworked block update handling and added defensive code to ensure proper client side thread handling.

Once Architectury supports Forge, I will update. * Support for Minecraft 1.21.1. No plans to support prior versions. Support for later versions based on availability of Fabric and NeoForge. * Both Fabric and NeoForge versions support connection to Vanilla servers. **Changes** * Removed player particle suppression. Mojang changed how effects are associated with a player and made my hack incompatible. * Changed firefly particle speed, sizing, etc. to be less "energetic." * Removed dimension sound for The End. On the balance, people disliked more than liked. **Fixes** * Occasional incorrect access to randomizer associated with the render thread. * Fixup tagging for flower forest biome. * Disable rain ripple effect if the mod Particle Rain is installed.

It can be found in the lower left corner of the screen. * Added option to enable playing of other situational music (as in biome background music) rather than creative music when the player is in creative mode. It is off by default and needs to be enabled. Makes testing resource/mod packs easier. * Added a client side command /dsmm to force a reset of Minecraft's music manager. This will clear any music being played and set the timers so that a new selection will be made within a few seconds. * Added option to disable client side command registration. Useful when trying to run under Quilt, or if a pack developer just wants to disable as a default. **Changes** * Reworked the display of the individual sound configuration UI. The goal is to slim things down so the information fits on smaller displays. WIP - the icons suck. * Preload tag cache when connecting to a world. Before, the mod would load entries into the cache in a lazy fashion, and as a result, the player would experience a lag-stutters when faulted in. * Delay processing resource packs/external configurations until later in the startup process. **Fixes** * Startup crash when ModernUI is installed with its "ding at startup" enabled.

Seasonal changes will affect temperature-dependent effects (like frost breath and some biome sounds). Supporting other season mods is dependent on whether the season mod provides a formal API for obtaining temperature and precipitation information. * Added a global option to disable scary sounds. Currently, this applies to the wolf and the underground monster growl. Scary is subjective, so I would be glad to hear opinions about other sounds in the mod. This only applies to sounds generated by Dynamic Surroundings. If another mod has a scary sound, you can block it using the Individual Sound Control GUI in game (assuming the keybind is mapped). * Added a global volume scale setting for ambient sounds. This applies only to Dynamic Surroundings sound effects. Intended to give a simple knob to increase/decrease the volume of the mod's environmental sounds. **Changes** * Reworked the internal tagging for items, blocks, and biomes. The mod no longer declares tags in /data. The mod's tag configuration has been moved into client side resources. (I have my own tag scanning code for loading tag information as the mod is 100% client side.) * Added resource support for Biomes O'Plenty, Nature's Spirit, Profundis, and Promenade. **Fixes** * Minimal particle settings can cause mod to crash with waterfall effects. * Disconnecting and reconnecting can result in the loss of biome sound effects. * Footstep sound effects would not play when connected to a remote server.

(I have my own tag scanning code for loading tag information as the mod is 100% client side.) * Added resource support for Biomes O'Plenty, Nature's Spirit, Profundis, and Promenade. **Fixes** * Minimal particle settings can cause mod to crash with waterfall effects. * Disconnecting and reconnecting can result in the loss of biome sound effects. * Footstep sound effects would not play when connected to a remote server.

**Requirements** * JAVA 17+ (I am using Adoptium https://adoptium.net/) * Fabric Loader >=0.15.1 * Fabric API >=0.91.2+1.20.4 * 100% client side; no server side deployment needed **Fixes** * Stack overflow when circular dependencies in tag files encountered

**Requirements** * JAVA 17+ (I am using Adoptium https://adoptium.net/) * Fabric Loader >=0.14.22 * Fabric API >=0.91.0+1.20.1 * 100% client side; no server side deployment needed **What's New** * Backport of Dynamic Surroundings 1.20.4-0.2.2! **Changes** * The only config UI system supported for 1.20.1 is Cloth Config API

**Requirements** * JAVA 17+ (I am using Adoptium https://adoptium.net/) * Fabric Loader >=0.15.1 * Fabric API >=0.91.2+1.20.4 * 100% client side; no server side deployment needed **What's New** * Added biome sound for coniferous forests, like Taiga. I finally found one I kinda like. * Added step sound on leaf blocks. It will auto-disable if Presence Footsteps is installed. * Reed like sound when walking through sugar cane and other "stiff" plants. The regular brush sound didn't fit right for these types of plants. * Biome scanning algorithm now accounts for Minecraft's 3D biome structure, like caves. Cave biomes can have sound effects tied to being underground. Additionally, underground biome sounds will fade in the lower the player's Y. * If enabled, the clock overlay will render if the player is looking at item frame containing a clock. **Changes** * Waterfall particles are more splashy. * Reworked internal eventing implementation. Gained a bit of performance and decoupled entirely from loader environment. * Reworked effects configuration system to be more data driven. **Fixes** * Mod config sporadically isn't present in ModMenu. * Water ripple handler was removing rain impact particle effect for non-liquid blocks. * Accumulated updates for forge data tags as well as Biomes O'Plenty assets.

**Requirements** * JAVA 17+ (I am using Adoptium https://adoptium.net/) * Fabric Loader >=0.15.1 * Fabric API >=0.91.2+1.20.4 * 100% client side; no server side deployment needed **What's New** * Cloth-Config is no longer embedded in the jar. Mod will use either Cloth-Config or Yet Another Config Library if installed. * If both are installed Cloth-Config will be used * If neither are installed, the mod will still work—you just won't have access to the mod configuration menu and will have to make hand edits to the dsurround.json config file. * Added Forge biome tags. Enables the broadest out-of-the-box support for cross-loader biome mods. **Changes** * Moved clock overlay display to above the hot bar. Seemed dorky to have it above the cross-hair. Rendering is similar to a tooltip, and the text color is a gradient between midnight (Dark Violet) and noon (Sun Glow) colors. * Auto-disable footstep brush effect at runtime if Presence Footsteps is installed * Reworked debug overlay screen for better organization. Added information about entities as well. **Fixes** * Rendering of compass overlay is smoother. I forgot to lerp. * Null reference exception when player spawns outside of build height * Sometimes the RandomGenerator algorithms for modern Java are not available (for some unknown reason) and will cause Dynamic Surroundings to crash at startup. If it is not possible to create this generator, logic will fall back to using the Minecraft random generator. Reinstalling the modpack from scratch may help.

**Requirements** * JAVA 17+ (I am using Adoptium https://adoptium.net/) * Fabric Loader >=0.15.1 * Fabric API >=0.91.2+1.20.4 * 100% client side; no server side deployment needed **What's New** * Added key bind to activate the mod menu while in-game. * If ModMenu is present, the key bind is not set in favor of using the various "Mod" configuration entry points. * If ModMenu is not present, will default to the '=' key and can be accessed in game. **Changes** * Added more randomness to steam effects. In large steam areas, the particle spawns seemed a bit uniform. * Increased reverb decay time of sounds. Needed more reverb. FYI - reverb and echo are two different things. * Updated randomizers to use the newer random number generators in Java. Performance increased a small amount. * Improve handling of tags when connected to remote server. Should be more performant. * Short circuit some checks/operations for a set of blocks that should always be ignored, like air and command_block. * Attributions in sounds.json are now structured. (Attributions for sounds show up in the tooltips while in the individual sound config menu.) * Added subtitle information to sound config entries tooltip. Subtitles are text shown when a sound plays if the option is enabled in the sound menu. (Not all sounds have subtitles defined—it's optional.) * Use official Mojang mappings rather than Yarn. Should be transparent but let me know if anything strange happens. * Misc clean up such as removing loader-specific info from language file, recoloring of version update notification, etc. **Fixes** * Bow-use sound when connected to a vanilla server will now play. * Fixed concurrency issue when the background sound operations triggered tag access in the TagLibrary. The exception was an index range exception generated in a fastutil collection. The times I have experienced this problem are when joining a world where the location was sound dense, like large waterfalls.

**Requirements** * JAVA 17+ (I am using Adoptium https://adoptium.net/) * Fabric Loader >=0.15.1 * Fabric API 0.91.2+1.20.4 * 100% client side; no server side deployment needed **What's New** * Overhauled the waterfall sound effect system. The number of sound instances played is significantly reduced around large falls. * Lava cauldrons have effects: * Count as a hot block for steam production. * Chance of spawning small flame jets similar to fully grown nether wart crops. * Kelp plants and tall seagrass will trigger brush step sounds. **Changes** * Adjusted item swing sounds for bows and crossbows. Now less hefty. * Changes to block effect settings will no longer require a restart. * Adjusting while in game will cause the currently playing effects to reset. * Default for block effect range is now 32 from 24. * The 32 range matches the Minecraft particle render range as well as the larger random display tick range. * Higher ranges will consume more of the client tick for processing and may not add any additional experience. YMMV. * Existing configurations will require manual changes of the block effect range to get the range of 32. * Diagnostic commands and HUDs will report local tag information even when connected to a remote server. **Fixes** * No more button click sound when pressing the PLAY button in individual sound config UI. * Fixed step brush sounds when connected to a vanilla server. * Dark Forest should now play the deep forest sounds.

**Requirements** * JAVA 17+ (I am using Adoptium https://adoptium.net/) * Fabric Loader >=0.15.1 * Fabric API 0.91.2+1.20.4 * 100% client side; no server side deployment needed **What's New** * Added footstep accents when the player steps. These can be independently disabled in the config. * Armor rustling based on worn armor. Derived from the items equip sound. * Water splash when raining, walking on waterlogged blocks, or blocks like lily pads * Floor squeaks when walking on squeaky floors (like wood planks) * Brush sound when walking through dense brush or climbing vines * Added Firefly particle effect. Spawn around flowers at night when it is not raining. * Added a compass and clock overlay that displays when a compass and/or clock is held. Disabled by default. **Changes** * Config setting for particle trail effect on projectiles has changed. By default, suppression is not enabled. This can be changed in config settings. * Tweaked diurnal processing - sunrise and day start should occur a little bit earlier. * Removed time of day (/dstod) command **Fixes** * Fixed mixin conflict with SoundPhysics Remastered. New behavior is to Auto-disable enhanced sound processing if SoundPhysics Remastered is present.

**Requirements** * JAVA 17+ (I am using Adoptium https://adoptium.net/) * Fabric Loader >=0.15.1 * Fabric API 0.91.2+1.20.4 * 100% client side; no server side deployment needed **What's New** * Removed frog sound effects since Minecraft has frogs. I think they need a fez. * Detection of "built in" toolbar effect sounds, such as armor and buckets if a dsurround effect tag is not already supplied. (These guys have item equip sounds.) * Works when connecting to Vanilla servers - yay! Includes handling impact of tag sync between server and client. **Fixes** * Using a bow/crossbow will no longer trigger the swing sound * Cleaned up first person potion particle suppression. Config setting change will no longer require a restart of the client. * Null ref exception triggered as a result of a race condition when connecting to a server. * Fixed rendering of the in-game individual sound config screen * Cleaned up new version detection and messaging * Fixed /reload and /dsreload effects on cached data

**Requirements** * JAVA 17+ (I am using Adoptium https://adoptium.net/) * Fabric Loader >=0.15.1 (*<-- Note the change*) * Fabric API 0.91.2+1.20.4 * 100% client side; no server side deployment needed **Special Thanks** * Thanks to ThexXTURBOXx, HarvelsX, and jmattingley23 for compatility changes for 1.18 and 1.19 - made my life easier getting to 1.20.x **What's New** * Minecraft 1.20.4 compatibility * Updated Nashorn script engine to 15.4 * When will Microsoft stop boiling the ocean? :D * Support for client side tags - should ease addition of new blocks and providing Dynamic Surround support via data packs. * Block reflectance and occlusions for sound reverb processing * EntityType tags for entity effects (bow pull, frost breath, etc.) * Item tags for Item sound effects (tool bar and swing) * Support of Biome tags for biome conditions

* Volume and pitch ranges for acoustic configurations * Speculative fix for client crash when exiting world. * Reworked a piece of code so that it can be compatible with the 0.11.7 loader * Tweaked waterfall splash to be a bit more "splashy"
