Weather & Disasters

🌪️ Weather & Disasters

Weather & Disasters is a comprehensive NeoForge mod that brings dynamic weather simulations, realistic climate mechanics, and destructive natural disasters to your Minecraft world.

It doesn't just visually transform your environment; it creates a living, constantly changing atmosphere—from wind directions and temperature shifts to melting snow and ocean-spanning tsunamis.

🌋 10 Unique Natural Disasters

Disasters spawn dynamically in Survival mode based on the current biome and weather conditions (e.g., Sandstorms in deserts, Blizzards in snowy biomes, Tsunamis on coasts).

🌪️ Tornado (EF0 - EF5): Scales in size, speed, and destruction power. Accompanied by lightning and localized rainfall.
⚡ Earthquake (M1.0 - M10.0): Features variable impact radius, realistic camera and player shaking, deep fault rifts, and structural collapse. Includes aftershocks. Coastal earthquakes rated M7.5+ can trigger a Tsunami!
☄️ Meteor Shower: Massive meteors fall from the sky, leaving impact craters across the terrain.
🌀 storm & ❄️ Blizzard: Massive atmospheric events that reduce visibility to zero and cause freezing conditions.
🕳️ Sinkhole: Sudden ground collapses forming deep terrain abysses.
🔥 Wildfire: Spreads dynamically across vegetation guided by wind speed and direction.
⏳ Sandstorm: A massive wall of sand pushing forward along the wind vector.

 🌡️ Realistic Weather & Climate Simulation

🍃 Dynamic Wind System: Smoothly shifting speed and direction. Severe storms exceeding 55 km/h drag players.
☀️ Advanced Temperature Model: Smooth biome transitions, true day-night thermal inertia based on sun angle, elevation drops, and underground thermal stability.
💧 Realistic Water & Snow Physics:
   Snow layers melt only above 0°C at a rate proportional to heat.
   Rain accumulates strictly in natural terrain depressions, evaporating or seeping into the ground over time.
   Water puddles freeze in sub-zero conditions, while sand drifts accumulate against obstacles relative to wind direction.
🌦️ Variable Weather States: Heatwaves, cold spells, dense fog, downpours, blizzards, and severe thunderstorms.

🧱 Custom Blocks & Utility Items

🎮 Weather Controller Block (Creative Only): Easily test disasters via a single block interface (Left-click: Select type, Right-click: Adjust intensity, Sneak + Right-click: Trigger).
🚨 Siren & Seismic Sensor (Craftable): Provides audible atmospheric alarms instead of chat notifications for approaching threats.
🌡️ Thermometer: Visual glass tube indicator (-50°C to +70°C scale) displaying exact ambient temperatures without limits.
💨 Anemometer & Wind Vane: Precision instruments to track wind speed (km/h & Beaufort scale) and real-time wind direction.

 🎨 Audio, Visuals & Shader Performance

🎧 17 Custom Audio Tracks:** Client-side sound engine featuring muffled indoor acoustics for wind, rain, ocean surges, lava, and earthquakes.
✨ Custom Precipitation Shader:
   World-anchored rain streaks angled according to wind velocity.
   Billboarded camera-facing snow particles drifting with air turbulence.
   Occlusion engine preventing rain/snow rendering under roofs and tree canopies.
🚀 Server-Friendly & Optimized: Heavy legacy particle loops replaced with network-throttled markers, falling block limits, and configurable particle density.
