Description

⚡ Kinetic Currents: Atmospheric Currents & Kinetic Ley-Lines

The combination of Elytra + Infinite Firework Rockets has trivialized surface transportation (minecarts, horses, boats) and reduced exploration to repetitive high-altitude straight lines.

Kinetic Currents revitalizes exploration with a dynamic atmosphere, hawk-like soaring, and supercharged ground transit!

 🌪️ 1. Dynamic 3D Wind Fields & Thermal Updrafts
* Macro Atmospheric Wind: Procedural 3D wind vector fields push and steer gliders according to natural atmospheric patterns. Wind intensity increases at higher elevations ($Y > 100$).
* Thermal Updrafts: Hot biomes (Deserts, Badlands, Nether), mountain ridges, and heat blocks (Lava, Magma, Campfires) produce rising thermal columns ($v_y > 0$). Ride these columns like a raptor to gain infinite altitude without fireworks!
* Swoop-Dive Conversion: Pitch down ($> 35°$) to build dive velocity, then pull up ($< 15°$) to convert accumulated downward momentum into massive forward and climbing kinetic thrust!
* Tactical Firework Rebalance: Firework rocket usage while gliding now has a 12-second tactical cooldown with a smooth initial impulse, making thermal reading essential!

🚅 2. Terrestrial Kinetic Ley-Lines
* Natural Energetic Ribbons: Invisible ley-lines weave through valleys, canyons, rivers, ravines, and caves.
* Hyper-Velocity Transit: Riding a Minecart, Horse, or Boat inside a Ley-Line corridor grants a smooth 300% to 400% acceleration!
* Kinetic Collision Shielding: Traveling within a Ley-Line completely negates wall collision damage (fly into wall) and falling damage.

🧲 3. Mag-Lev Rails & Converter Workstation
* Frictionless Mag-Lev Rails: Hyper-speed magnetic rails maintaining top cart speeds up to 3.2 blocks/tick without needing redstone torches!
* Mag-Rail Converter: Workstation block that transmutes vanilla rails into Mag-Lev Rails using Copper, Redstone, and Amethyst.

🧭 4. Tactile Navigation Instruments
* Ley-Line Resonator Compass: Displays real-time resonance strength and distance in blocks to the nearest energetic corridor.
* Atmospheric Wind Gauge: Measures local wind velocity (km/h), cardinal heading (N, NE, E...), and detects active thermal updrafts.

📦 Installation & Compatibility
* Available for Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge across Minecraft 1.11.2 through 1.26.3 & 26.3!
* Place the downloaded `.jar` file matching your Minecraft version and mod loader into your `.minecraft/mods` folder.
