Aeronautics: Winds & Weather

Realistic wind, sails, weather, temperature and more cool shi-

Features

Sailing & Rigging

• Masts & Yards: Place Masts to have something to attach the sail to.
• Area Selection Rigging: Right-click a Yard with a Cotton Sail or Canvas Sail, then click the lower opposite corner.
• Cloth Simulation: Rigged sails use cloth physics which works with wind direction, wind speed, and ship velocity.
• Moving sails:
  • Reefing: Sneak-right-click the cloth to or roll up the sail.
  • Rope Stuff: Attach a rope to the sail for a continuous trim.
• Sail Materials:
  • Cotton Sail: Lightweight.
  • Canvas Sail: Not light weight lol.
• Dye Support: Right-click any sail with dye to recolor the entire sail
• Windcatcher Canvas: Works with windmills and with sable sublevels aka those cool phsyics things aeronautics adds.

Keels & Rudders (Hydrodynamics)

• Keel: Put below the waterline along the hull's forward axis. Provides lateral hydrodynamic resistance to eliminate sideways leeway drift, converting lateral wind push into forward drive and allowing ships to tack into the wind. Connect multiple segments in line to increase grip.
• Rudder: Steer ships using rotation (Who would have thought). Connect a vertical shaft to the Rudder block to set its angle anywhere from 0° to 360°. Stack rudder blocks vertically to increase turning.

Wind Rider

• Basically aliexpress version elytra that works with wind

Instruments

• Anemometer: Measures local wind speed.
• Wind Vane: Tracks wind direction.
• Captain's Hat: Its just cool. (and gives goggles HUD)

Cotton

• Wild Cotton: Generates naturally in warm biomes and appears in shipwreck, villages and stuff.

Weather

• 19 Weather Types: Includes calm breezes, overcast skies, drizzle, heavy rain, thunderstorms, fog, heatwaves, snow, blizzards, hailstorms, sandstorms, and monsoons.
• Altitude Wind: Wind speeds naturally increase with elevation, featuring strong jet streams at high altitudes.

Dependencies & Requirements

Commands

• /aerowind query — Read wind speed, direction, temperature, and pressure at current coordinates.
• /aerowind set <speed> <bearing> — Set a manual wind speed and heading.
• /aerowind clear — Return to simulated weather wind.
• /aerowind mode [windcatchers|everything] — Deprecated
• /aeroweather query — Check regional weather state.
• /aeroweather set <type> <intensity> [duration] — Set regional weather conditions.

Configuration

Config files are located in config/aeronauticswinds-common.toml and config/aeronauticswinds-client.toml
