Aerodynamics4MC

Physically Simulated Wind for Minecraft

Real wind doesn't blow in a straight line.
Neither should Minecraft's.

✦ Not another wind mod.

Aerodynamics4MC replaces Minecraft's single, world‑wide "wind" value with a four‑layer atmospheric simulation — from planetary weather systems down to per‑block turbulence. Every breeze, gust, and eddy you see is computed on‑the‑fly using actual fluid dynamics, not pre‑recorded animations.

🔬 How It Works

A multi‑scale, server‑authoritative wind field that streams to the client for visual effects — no gimmicks, just physics.

• L0 & L1 → calculated on the server, deterministic for everyone.
• L2 → purely visual, client‑side, required on demand by other mods. Zero network overhead, no gameplay impact.

🖥️ Server Core + Optional Client Add‑on

This Modrinth page provides the server‑side core of Aerodynamics4MC.
It handles all the physics and wind simulation — everything servers need to run the model.

To interact with the wind in‑game (e.g. measuring devices, visual tools, or gameplay items), check out the official client add‑on:

❓ Quick Answers

<details> <summary>⚡ Does it lag?</summary>
Server‑side computation (L0+L1) is lighter than most terrain generation mods. The client L2 layer can be turned off or scaled down in the config — you're always in control. </details>

<details> <summary>☁️ Will it conflict with weather mods?</summary>
Generally no. Aerodynamics4MC acts as a wind provider — other mods can read the wind field through the API instead of relying on the static vanilla value. </details>

🧩 For Modders & Developers

Aerodynamics4MC exposes a clean API so your own mods can react to realistic wind.
Source code and integration examples live at the Core Repository.

// Example: query the wind vector at any position
WindField field = AerodynamicsAPI.getWindField(level);
Vector3 wind = field.getWindAt(pos);
