Cinematic Weather

# Cinematic Weather **Cinematic Weather** is a client-side mod that brings your Minecraft weather and wind to life with beautiful effects, sounds, and physical reactions. > ⚠️ **Highly recommended to play with Sodium!** Without it, severe storms may cause lag due to particle density. --- ## Features * 🌀 **Realistic Wind & Leaves:** Leaves drift, spin, and sway naturally along with wind currents. Includes 4 different pixel-art leaf shapes. * 🍂 **No Stuck Particles:** Floating leaves disappear instantly when colliding with the ground or trees instead of spinning awkwardly in place. * 🌳 **Dynamic Biome Colors:** Leaves match the surrounding trees: dark pine needles in taiga, vibrant green in jungle, muddy green in swamps, dry golden-orange in savanna. * ⚡ **Storms & Hurricanes:** Heavy storms push dropped items and the player, shake the screen gently, spawn sandstorms in deserts, and throw flying debris/blocks in the air. * 🔊 **Spatial Leaf Rustling:** Walk near tree leaves during wind to hear spatial rustling sounds. Standing under a roof muffles weather sounds and blocks wind forces/particles. * ⚙️ **Smart Optimization:** The mod **does not spawn particles behind your back** (out of sight), saving your FPS and memory. * 🔧 **Easy In-Game Menu:** Customize leaf density (from 0 to 10 for massive falls), leaf size, and wind volume via ModMenu. --- ## Commands You can also use the `/cw` command in chat to control the wind and test presets: * `/cw status` - View current wind strength, direction, shelter factor, and active storm status. * `/cw wind ` - Override and set custom wind strength (0.0 to 3.0) and direction angle (0 to 360 degrees). * `/cw wind clear` - Revert wind to normal simulation. * `/cw storm start ` - Start a custom cinematic storm. * `/cw storm stop` - Stop the active storm. * `/cw preset ` - Instantly apply performance presets. * `/cw leafdensity ` - Adjust leaf density multiplier directly. * `/cw testmode ` - Enable test mode for rapid storm cycle testing.
