How to Read Dynamic Audio Cues and Surface Feedback

The mod replaces uniform vanilla sound cues with contextual, material-based sound effects that help you identify your surroundings and physical status without staring at meters.

Identifying Movement and Surface Details

• Material Footsteps: Listen closely as you traverse different blocks. Ground materials produce distinct footstep sounds depending on whether you are walking on stone, sand, wood, or dirt.
• Movement States: Jumping, landing with heavy impact, and brushing through tall grass or bushes each produce separate audio cues.
• Physical Tracks: Turn around after sprinting across snow, sand, or mud to spot visible footprints pressed temporarily into the ground.

Interpreting Environmental and Condition Cues

• Submerged and Muffled Audio: Jump underwater or stand behind thick, solid walls. Sound waves will audibly muffle, realistically dampening noises from the outside.
• Health and Hunger Cues: When your hunger bar empties, your character will produce stomach rumbles. If your health drops into critical levels, an audible heartbeat will sound.
• Inventory Feedback: Hotbar switching and clicking within crafting grids emit responsive clicking sounds.
• Deep Dark Soundscapes: When exploring ancient depths and the Deep Dark, listen for low drones, faint heartbeats, and intermittent Sculk clicks that signal dangerous subterranean terrain.
