About this Mod

Dynamic Piston Volume attempts to quiet pistons down for smaller builds, while keeping their substantial "oomph" that we many of us know and love. With this mod, the piston volume and pitch are impacted by how many blocks are being pushed. The less blocks pushed, the lower the volume and the higher the pitch. I plan to update this mod to newer versions as soon as Architectury properly supports newer versions (make a comment if I forget lol)
