❄️ Thermal Tweaks 1.1 — Snowstorms, Wind & Winter Life

✨ Highlights

• Snowstorms:
  Blue-tinted world, thicker fog, a snowflake HUD badge, drifting particle effects, and temperature penalties that scale with storm intensity.

• Wind System:
  Synced wind direction and strength, displayed via HUD arrow + km/h readout.
  Optional gentle push effect during strong gusts.

• Icicles:
  Slim half-block icicles that grow under overhangs during storms and melt near heat/light.
  Includes a placeable block and item.

• Temperature Persistence:
  Your body temperature now saves and reloads, syncing on login and when changing dimensions.

⛄ Gameplay

• Snow Accumulation:
  Snow piles form naturally and build leeward depending on wind direction.
  Snow does not accumulate under roofs, leaves, or other cover.

• Melting & Freezing:
  Snow melts near heat sources.
  Exposed water surfaces freeze during storms in cold biomes.

• Footprints:
  Temporary snow indentations appear as you walk; they auto-restore or melt over time.

• Damage Scaling:
  Cold/heat damage scales dynamically based on how far your temperature is from safe thresholds.

🐺 Mobs & World Behavior

• Strays in Storms:
  Skeletons convert into Strays during blizzards in cold biomes.

• Animals:

  • Wolves & foxes seek campfires

  • Passive animals huddle together

  • Bees retreat to hives

  • Fish swim deeper in cold weather

  • Hostile mobs have reduced follow range during storms

• Villagers:
  Villager sheltering AI is now optional (off by default for performance).
  If enabled, it’s heavily throttled to reduce lag.

🧊 Items & Armor

• Iced Tea: Instantly cools body temperature.

• Thermometer: Shows ambient and body °C; helpful for balancing.

• Fur Armor & Desert Robes: Configurable insulation and heat mitigation.
  (Defaults reuse leather visuals until you add textures.)

💬 Commands

• /snowstorm start | stop | status — control storms for testing & screenshots

• /wind set <kmh> — manually set wind speed (Creative/OP only)

• HUD Additions:

  • Temperature bar with notches at −10, 0, 35, 50°C

  • Snowflake badge during storms

  • Wind direction arrow + km/h speed

⚙️ Performance & Config

• Per-tick storm budget with dynamic backpressure for smooth singleplayer performance.

• Feature toggles for:

  • Snow accumulation

  • Melting & freezing

  • Footprints

  • Mob behaviors

  • Villager sheltering

• VisualsAlwaysOnDuringStorm (ON by default): Ensures blizzard presentation even under cover; turn OFF for strict outdoors-only visuals.

• Datapack tags:

  • heat_sources

  • cold_sources

  • icicle_supports

📌 Notes

• Default configs are tuned for singleplayer with low performance spikes.
  Adjust settings in thermaltweaks-common.toml if needed.

• Icicles currently use a simple cross/ice model—replace with your own when ready.

Enjoy the winter!
