🎨 Aesthetics & Ambient Feedback

Agrarian Reform enriches the visual and auditory feedback of farming to make fields feel dynamic, responsive, and alive.

🌾 Ambient Crop Rustling

When players or entities walk through fully matured crops, the engine triggers physical crop rustle sound effects (SoundEvents.GRASS_HIT):

if (isMaxAge && DynamicGameRuleManager.getBoolean(serverLevel, AgrarianGameRules.AMBIENT_CROP_RUSTLE)) {
    if (SoundHelper.shouldPlayRustle(entityId, time)) {
        if (entity.getDeltaMovement().horizontalDistance() > 0.01D) {
            float pitch = 0.8F + serverLevel.getRandom().nextFloat() * 0.4F;
            float volume = 0.2F + serverLevel.getRandom().nextFloat() * 0.1F;
            serverLevel.playSound(null, pos, SoundEvents.GRASS_HIT, SoundSource.BLOCKS, volume, pitch);
        }
    }
}

• Pitch Variation: Pitch varies dynamically between $0.8$ and $1.2$ to avoid auditory repetition.
• Debounce Throttle: SoundHelper throttles sound triggers per entity ID to prevent audio clutter when running through dense fields.

✨ Vitality Particle Sparkles

When a crop advances a growth stage (either natively, via rain growth acceleration, or via bone meal), Happy Villager green sparkles (ParticleTypes.HAPPY_VILLAGER) burst from the crop:

• Particle Count: 3 particles per growth event.
• Spread Area: $0.25\text{m} \times 0.25\text{m} \times 0.25\text{m}$ around block center.
• GameRule Control: Toggle via /gamerule agrarian_reform:ambient_vitality_particles false.

🌅 Visual Morning Moisture

Farmland rendering is updated subtly at sunrise to simulate morning dew across moist tilled soil, visually celebrating early morning harvests.
