How do I turn off dust storm effects?

Some players using shaders do not like the combined effect of Dynamic Surroundings dust storms and the shaders. To turn off dust storms you will need to create an external configuration file that contains the following:

Dynamic Surroundings v3.4.1.0+

{
    "biomes": [
        {
            "conditions": "TRUE",
            "_comment": "DS v3.4.1.0+ Turns off dust effects for all biomes",
            "dust": false
        }
    ]
}

Dynamic Surroundings pre v3.4.1.0

{
    "biomes": [
        {
            "biomeName": "*",
            "_comment": "DS pre v3.4.1.0 Turns off dust effects for all biomes",
            "dust": false
        }
    ]
}

I have Sound Physics installed and the sound is too loud/low. How do I fix it?

Sound Physics is written with Vanilla in mind. In my experience it does not work well with Dynamic Surroundings. I personally use Sound Filters and haven't had any issues.

How do I turn off the Nether weather effects?

To turn off Nether weather effects you will need to create an external configuration file that contains the following:

{
    "dimensions": [
        {
            "dimId": -1,
            "weather": false,
            "fog": false,
            "haze": false
        }
    ]
}

How do I enable Auroras for all biomes?

It is pretty easy to enable Auroras for all biomes. To do this will require creating an external configuration file that contains the following:

{
    "biomes": [
        {
            "conditions": "TRUE",
            "_comment": "Always display aurora",
            "aurora": true
        }
    ]
}
