Mission Briefing
Gunfire Overhaul: Echoes of the Battlefield is both a standalone mod and an integration add-on. It completely rethinks the soundscape of combat in Minecraft.
As a standalone mod, it fills the world with ambient battle sounds. As an add-on, it integrates with popular weapon mods, replacing standard gunshot sounds with dynamic and realistic ones that change depending on distance, caliber, and environment.
