Deprived 1.5.0: Fixed Frequencies

This release expands Deprived's late-stage soundscape and redesigns its analog film-grain system.

Stationary sound fields

• Added long-form ambient sound fields that occupy fixed locations in the world.
• Added eight new streamed recordings across four categories:
  • Low drones
  • Industrial environments
  • Unknown and organic spaces
  • Distant human whispering
• Sound fields remain stationary as the player moves toward or away from them.
• Old sources remain behind while new fields can appear around the player's current location.
• Fields fade in gradually and remain active for several minutes.
• Field prevalence increases with deprivation:
  • Stage 3: up to 1 field
  • Stage 4: up to 2 fields
  • Stage 5: up to 3 fields
  • Stage 6: up to 5 fields
• Fixed an issue where Minecraft discarded sound fields that began their fade-in at zero volume.
• Improved positional audibility, source distance, normalization and late-stage population speed.

Audio controls and diagnostics

• Added live controls for:
  • Enabling or disabling stationary sound fields
  • Sound-field volume
  • Maximum simultaneous fields
• Added an immediate Spawn stationary sound field developer control.
• The developer monitor now displays:
  • Active sound-field count
  • Nearest field type
  • Distance to the nearest source
  • Current source volume
  • Time until the next scheduled field

Analog grain redesign

• Replaced sparse gray square noise with fine multicolored analog film grain.
• Added cyan, magenta, green, yellow, violet, orange and neutral emulsion flecks.
• Grain becomes denser, brighter and more colorful at higher settings.
• Added subtle horizontal and vertical film-like artifacts.
• High grain settings can now approach a heavily degraded VHS or damaged-film appearance.

Performance

• Replaced thousands of individually rendered grain particles with four cached animated noise textures.
• Greatly reduced the visual system's rendering overhead, particularly at high grain settings and when using shaders.
• Low and default visual settings remain restrained.

Compatibility

• Minecraft 1.20.1
• Fabric Loader
• Fabric API required
• Mod Menu optional
• Hysteria Shaders recommended
