ImmersiveThunder - Forge Edition
A Forge port of the popular Fabric mod that adds realistic and dynamic thunder sounds to Minecraft based on the player's distance from lightning strikes.
Features
-
Distance-Based Thunder Sounds: Experience realistic thunder that varies based on how far you are from the lightning strike
- Close Thunder (0-64 blocks): Loud, intense thunder when lightning strikes nearby
- Medium Thunder (64-192 blocks): Moderate thunder for strikes at medium distance
- Far Thunder (192+ blocks): Distant rumbling for far-away strikes
-
Sound Variety: Multiple sound variations for each distance range to prevent repetitive audio
- 3 close thunder variations
- 4 medium thunder variations
- 3 far thunder variations
-
Impact Sounds: Realistic lightning impact sounds complement the thunder
