7embre Posted August 14, 2025 Report Posted August 14, 2025 Does anyone know the exact conditions for having reverberation in a cave/building? Block types restrictions (if there are any), how it works with chiseled stuff, required dimensions, proportions maybe, etc. I'm building a cathedral and it would be neat to have it in there, it's just that it doesn't show up at all at the nave. However, when I started working on a tower, it appeared about mid-height. And that space is much smaller than the nave. I tried tinkering a bit with it, but didn't get to anything tbh. Maybe there's issue with the dimensions I chose for the build. I'm okay with very technical answers.

Maybe there's issue with the dimensions I chose for the build. I don't know entirely how it works, but it seems to depend partly on lighting, and partly on how big the space is. The only times I recall hearing reverberation was underground, where the natural light was dim or nonexistent. Likewise, the reverb seemed to occur more often in medium sized spaces approximately the size of large rooms, than in small spaces or large spaces(larger than what would qualify as a room). That probably doesn't help much here, but I would play around with the dimensions and lighting to see what kind of effects you can achieve. My guess is that the reverb effect is probably still very early in development, and isn't applying correctly to a lot of spaces it maybe should.

I tried to play around with the dimensions, and made two giant flat slabs with the height of a nave between them, it worked. ...until I cut them to the dimensions — h22, w12, l54. Then it stopped. Maybe it should be wider than higher or something. I can't really check if the lights are affecting it, because it doesn't show up even without light sources on a simplified test ground. Appreciate the reply nontheless.

It seems to be, given my experience, but I couldn't say for absolute certain. My best guess is that it's probably a thing, so that creepy reverb stays in the underground and doesn't add potentially unwanted ambience to large player-made structures or other locations that are supposed to be inhabited by friendlies.
