VanillaWeatherPlus adds tornadoes and hurricanes that are vanilla-friendly to Minecraft, designed to blend naturally with the original gameplay without breaking the game's balance.
WARNING: I don't recommend installing mods that add new biomes, since the weather mechanics might break or not work properly. This doesn't affect the vanilla custom terrain generation mods.
Weather:
- Tornadoes🌪️: appear in plains biomes and move across the map, generating a dynamic particle visual effect.
- Hurricanes🌀: larger-scale weather events that affect wider areas, appearing in ocean biomes.
- No permanent damage🍂: leaves and blocks affected by these phenomena regenerate over time, so there's no need to worry about a tornado destroying your forest forever.

- Minecraft 1.21.1
- NeoForge 21.1.249 or higher https://neoforged.net/
