Effective

Effective 2.3.2 - 1.20.1:

• Adjusted firefly spawning to be within 5 blocks off to the ground (instead of mostly in the sky like before)
• Added a soft wind ambience to swamp biomes (eg. mangroves being hot made them have no background wind)
• Added a unique mangrove bird ambience during the day
• Changed the cave ambience detection to use solid stone-like blocks above the player instead of light level
  • This fixes some issues that would happen for instance in swamps, where being under a tree and lower than the sea level would start playing the cave ambience
• Added a new reverbed foliage rustling sound for lush caves instead of the regular forest one
• Added a check for dripstone cave biomes up to 20 blocks above the player for its ambience
  • This should fix the unreliability of the biome's layout often not reaching the ground where there are no stalagmites
• Fixed the ULTRAKILL parry effect missing the white flash
  • The parry effect now uses a direct overlay render instead of Lodestone screen particles
• Reduced the ripple quantity when it rains
• Increased the rain ripple density default config value
• Increased the cascade sound distance default config value

• Changed cascade audio detection to make it so cascades underground can only be heard by players underground, and surface cascades can only be heard by players on the surface, to reduce the amount of cascade audio coming from underground sources.
