A Minecraft mod that brings the sense of smell to your gameplay

Aroma Affect is a Minecraft mod that integrates real-world scent hardware into gameplay. It connects Minecraft to OVR Technology's scent devices, allowing players to physically smell their world, from the sulfur of nearby lava to the fresh air of a forest biome.

The mod is fully playable with or without OVR scent hardware. Without hardware, all gameplay mechanics, visual feedback, and particle effects still work. Scent enhances the experience, it doesn't gate it. Available for NeoForge and Fabric. Uses Architectury API as a required dependency.

Discovery Mode: The environment around you emits scents automatically based on biomes, blocks, and hazards. Walk near lava, enter a flower forest, or approach a nether fortress, the world reacts. No items or setup required.
Focus Mode: Equip a Scent Mask (the Nose) to filter, focus, and actively track specific targets like ores, biomes, and structures. Higher tiers unlock more precise tracking and new target types, with visual guidance to navigate toward them. Features Ambient World Scenting Biome transitions, environmental hazards, and nearby resources all trigger scent events passively.

The Nose System: Craft and upgrade Scent Masks through a tiered progression system. Each tier unlocks new tracking abilities, detect ores, locate biomes, find structures.
Sniffer Integration: Endgame companion system that builds on Minecraft's Sniffer mob, unlocking new gameplay possibilities.
Radial Menu: Access all scent abilities through a radial menu for quick selection of tracking targets, scent modes, and mask configuration.
OVR Hardware: To experience real-world scents, you need an OVR scent device, available for pre-order at ovrtechnology.com. Without the hardware, the mod functions as a standalone gameplay mod with full visual and mechanical features.
