📖About Modified tornado damage for PMW

Intent of the addon

This mod adds makes changes to tornado block destruction in ProtoManly's weather (https://modrinth.com/mod/protomanlys-weather). The mod currently adds:

  • Option, to turn on tornado destruction based on real wind, so that what anemometers read is what makes destruction

  • Option to modify all block strengths by factor of 0.8 to 1.5x. This option exists because real winds are also stronger.

  • Option to turn on the modified tornado block grabbing

  • Option to turn off all block destruction

  • Option to turn of storms loading distant chunks and destruction and set the distance limit (helps with lag)

  • Option to turn off living entity grabbing

  • Option to turn on grabbing under overhangs/roofs

  • Option to set the scan limit on how far down under a roof should tornado scan for grabable blocks

  • Option for tornadoes to swing open the doors

  • Option to aproximately match the readable winds to tornadic destruction winds

  • Changes to the ground scouring tresholds

  • Wind gusts and direction variance

  • More wind speed variance by height

  • Raised limits of size and wind speed when spawning tornadoes or cyclones by commands

  • Added option to turn on vanilla lightning strikes that interact with lightning rods

  • Flying blocks cause damage when they hit player

  • Tornadoes will try to grab players under overhangs/roofs

  • Option to turn on player proximity grabbing where tornadoes will grab even stone and dirt to try and reach the player.

More info about the options 🔧

Real wind destruction

Matches the measurable wind with the tornadic destruction method. This makes anemometers more viable when determining what damage will occur. If PMW Extra is loaded, the setting will be ignored here and has to be instead set at the PMW Extra config as "Enhanced damage".
Because this option makes tornadoes about 1.3x stronger, the modifier for block strengths exist. NOTE that this option makes it possible for tornadoes to stack. If two EF5 hit your home at the same time, even obsidian won't help you. See gallery for example.

Block strength modifier

As stated above, if real wind damage option is enabled, all the blocks will be relatively weaker. That is why this option exists. User can modify the block strengths from factor of 0.8 to 1.5x. At 1.5x, the iron blocks will take up to 291 mph. Note that with real wind damage option enabled, 400 mph destruction is possible.

Additional block grabbing methods

If set to ON, all the blocks in blacklisted block tags (Stone, Dirt, Terracotta...) can now be picked up under certain circumstances. Shallow caves and shelters right under the ground can now be opened up by wind. The other parts of ground will remain intact.
This option also enables tornadoes to do some block grabbing under overhangs. So making an obsidian roof and oak plank walls won't save your walls anymore. Individual settings can be turned off.

Ground scouring changes

This addon is meant to be played with real wind damage set to true. Because that makes tornadoes stronger, almost all of them do scouring. That is why scouring values were set to 150 mph for light, 200 mph for medium and 250 mph was reserved for heavy scouring. If you see heavy scouring path coming towards you, you better hide.
Ground scouring can be turned off.

Downward block scanning limit

is a limit on how many blocks down from under a roof may tornado scan for destructible blocks. Default is 20 which is enough for most buildings. If you build a 100 block tall skyscraoer and want the base to be destroyed same time as roof, set this to limit to 100. Note, that for the most of the time when playing a normal world you do not need this to be set high because it will just cause tick lag and not much other effects. If you play on a superflat with a city, set this to the heighest building height if you want.

Option to aproximately match the readable winds to tornadic destruction winds

If you have a lower performing PC, but want the anemometers to show non exaggerated tornadic wind values, set the real wind damage to off and turn this option on. If this is on, tornadoes will reach max wind speeds of only about 250 mph. For additional performance, turn off all other modified grabbing methods and scouring. If you want just visible weather, you can turn off all block destruction which will help with lag.

Some issues that might occur

  • Real wind destruction will impact performance, but only slightly
  • Grabbing under overhangs will impact tick performance, because more blocks are being picked up
  • Sometimes the game crashes upon trying to load a world with this mod. Try downloading a fresh PMWeather.jar
  • Grass and dirt blocks that are on chunk borders will get grabbed, causing a visible grid on minimaps.

Do not redistribute a modified jar file.
