About this project

What does PMW Extra! add?

🌪️Storm Changes

  • Forward Flank downdraft now generates wind, flowing outward from the downdraft center. This wind can be destructive at times, depending on the storms strength, lapse rate, and humidity

  • Hail now correctly scales based on atmospheric conditions like humidity and mid level lapse rates

  • Forward Flank downdraft now generates lightning

  • Rainy supercells now have a stronger windfield, dry supercells have a weaker windfield

  • Added a new precip bias mechanic to storms, storms will spawn with a unique precip bias while still being affected by the environment.

  • All supercells no longer look the same on radar, supercell radar appearance changes based on hail strength, humidity, precip bias, size, and stage

  • Supercells can now be different sizes (70% to 140%)

  • Tornados that shrink past their natural width have a slight
    windspeed increase and tornadoes that grow past their natural width have a slight windspeed decrease (up to 10%)

  • Variable Tornado Widths - Tornado widths now change randomly throughout their lifetime, completely independent of windspeed

  • Wobbling - Tornadoes can now wobble left or right randomly, be careful...

  • Storm Revival - Dying tornadoes have a chance to unexpectedly regain strength

  • Scaled Lightning - Lightning frequency now correlates with storm intensity

🍃 New Wind Behavior

  • Enhanced Wind Damage - Makes tornado damage More accurate, but also more destructive

  • Player Wind Damage - High winds can now damage players (90+ MPH)

  • Projectile Physics - Arrows, ender pearls, and other projectiles are deflected by wind fields

  • Wind Feedback - Your screen shakes with the intensity of the wind

🎈 Weather Station/Balloon Platform Changes

Replace this with a description
A screen that shows a menu with a nameable weather platform container, this container has 3 options allowing players to choose to enable an evening, noon, and morning launch. There are slots for players to place weather balloons for the automated launches
Shows text in the minecraft chat titled, Desert Morning Conditions, showcasing an automated message sent from a weather station in the desert

  • Weather stations can now be named

  • Weather stations can now send out automated morning messages telling you the conditions at a location

  • Sounding platform stations can now be named

  • Weather stations can now store weather balloons and be scheduled to launch in the morning, evening, or afternoon

  • Changed the sounding viewer design, now numerically displays the cape, cinh, and SRH recorded during the sounding

  • Added Fire Risk to weather stations

🌡️ Thermodynamic Changes

Image showing a comparison of a soundiong during clear weather and during high overcast rain, the dounding during the high overcast rain shows a sharp inversion aloft, along with more humidity

  • Places with high overcast now create temperature inversions aloft, this increases CINH and decreases tornado probability

  • Places with overcast cloud cover and rain have increased humidity

  • Temperature now decreases in the Forward flank downdraft

  • Cloud heights are determined by the calculated lifting condensation level

Other Additions

  • Added wind strength and flammability tooltips

  • Added Rain threshold config value that determines the humidity needed for supercells to have rain

  • Added a debug config option that makes connected sounding viewers always display live data

  • Added UI that tells you the current day and month

  • Made wind direction in weather station message display as a cardinal direction instead of an angle

  • Added morning Fog

  • Added no overcast precip Config option so players can still have background clouds that wont create rain

🖥️Commands

New /storm commands that allow you to spawn storms with no size or wind speed limits. You can now also choose the X,Z coordinate of where you want the storm to be spawned

📋 Requirements

  • Protomanlys Weather (obviously lol)
