About
Ambi is a client-side audio mod that changes Minecraft’s ambient soundscapes in response to your biome, weather, time of day, surroundings, and altitude. Forests, plains, and swamps shift from morning birdsong to nighttime crickets and a gentle breeze, while jungles have wildlife ambience and arid zones bring dry winds and sandstorms when the weather worsens. Near marine biomes, waves break along the shore, and leaving wooded areas brings a localized open-country breeze. During storms, local wildlife falls silent as rain and thunder take over the ambient soundscape. Going indoors or under a roof reduces outside sound volume by 30%, changing the acoustics around your shelter. Below Y=40, ominous, echoing cave ambience creates a more tense atmosphere, and the game’s vanilla music is automatically muted in the depths. Sound changes use stability checks and smooth fades to avoid abrupt transitions or stuttering when moving between biomes. The mod runs entirely on the client, so it works with vanilla servers and modpacks without modifying the server.

No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Connects to the internet
- It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. Only in its files for Fabric 1.20.1, 26.2 to 26.3; NeoForge 26.3; Forge 1.20.1. See Privacy
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. Only in its files for Fabric 1.20.1, 1.21.1 to 26.3; NeoForge 1.21.1, 26.3; Forge 1.20.1.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.12 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 10 for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.Folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of all 10 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
AI
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and sounds and found none.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.Not on Modrinth.
