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 <strength> <yaw> – 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 <intensity> <duration_seconds> – Start a custom cinematic storm.
• /cw storm stop – Stop the active storm.
• /cw preset <low/medium/high/ultra> – Instantly apply performance presets.
• /cw leafdensity <multiplier> – Adjust leaf density multiplier directly.
• /cw testmode <true/false> – Enable test mode for rapid storm cycle testing.
