## \u26c8\ufe0f Meloon’s Realistic Thunder!
\n—
\n**This extremely niche datapack upgrades weather in a storm by bringing cozy delayed thunder to Minecraft! (with no resource pack required!)**<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

This is a relatively light-weight datapack: it strictly adds delay and pitch alteration to the thunder sound effect based on the distance of the lightning strike from the player.<\/p>\n

*No actual sound physics are simulated and the values are purely my estimations based on what sounded right to me.<\/p>\n

*From my little testing, resource packs that change the thunder sound work to differing degrees, just try it out and see what works best. I find the vanilla sound to work well.<\/p>\n

—
\n**This datapack should work just fine on multiplayer.**<\/p>\n

\nInspired heavily by **netcatgirl’s** ImmersiveThunder mod<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
