Mocha's Weather Mod

Reinforced blocks

• 36 reinforced blocks (planks of every wood, glass, stone and brick kinds, all 16 concretes), each made from eight of the block round an iron ingot.
• Wood and glass hold until a high-end EF3; stone and concrete until a low-end EF5. Hail, fire, creepers and TNT don’t break them, and a sealed room is out of the wind.

TV Screen

• New TV Screen block that shows a security camera’s picture or the radar. Screens side by side join into one big screen.

Buildable Doppler radar

• Radars have to be built, and the higher one stands the further it sees. The Storm Tracker and radar screens show the nearest one.
• Radar can go on aircraft (Immersive Aircraft) and on SecurityCraft monitors.

Storm direction and radar realism

• Storm cells face north-east whichever way they travel. New /tempest aim command sends every storm at you.
• The radar builds its picture beam by beam, so distant storms look coarser. Multi-vortex tornadoes are far bigger, with wandering vortices.

Tornadoes reworked

• Every tornado type has its own shape, wedges are far wider, and a multi-vortex tornado is several real vortices, each with its own wind.
• Rain now hides a tornado, and storm surge rises a block at a time.

Rain, seasons and more weather

• Rain overhaul (rain under the whole storm, hail cores, rain-wrapped tornadoes), rainbows, and radar echoes shaped like real storms.
• Serene Seasons support: tornado and hurricane seasons, winter blizzards.
• New weather: fog, windstorms, heat waves, cold snaps, landspouts, waterspouts and fire whirls. Also a Weather Almanac and eight new structures.

The look

• Storms redrawn as one great mass of cloud with dark, cinematic light. The mod draws its own lightning bolts, visible from far away, and squall lines and derechos are redone.

Hurricanes and compatibility

• Hurricanes look as strong as they are and have real wind. Every storm forms and dies on screen.
• Tornadoes pick you up and throw you instead of draining health.
• Distant Horizons support, and a storm bunker under every weather station.

Fire reworked

• Wildfire: fire smoulders, catches, blazes and throws embers on the wind, leaving charred logs, scorched ground and ash.
• Lightning scars and lightning glass, tornado-scoured ground, and 80 more quality-of-life improvements.
