Expanded Weather2 Dynamics

1.07 – The weather remaster

Tornadoes

• You can actually see the funnel now – no more dark clouds, sagging cloud decks, smoky rain or close fog hiding it.
• The funnel reaches all the way up to the cloud base, grows smoothly, and narrows into a thin rope and lifts off the ground as it dies.
• Four new shapes (needle, snake, barrel, hourglass), helical and horizontal vortices, and sun-lit funnels with faint bands.
• Rain-wrap and dust-wrap, with a new rainWrapChance setting to control how often rain hides the tornado.

Storms

• Supercells with real structure, lit by the sun the way real photographs show them, and dark underneath.
• Squall lines with a shelf cloud, which also show up as lines on the radar.
• Landspouts and waterspouts hang from their parent storm, with spray or dust at the foot well barely because its still in wip.

Fire and volcanoes

• Wildfires have their own flame texture, climb into trees, set mobs on fire, and send up a leaning smoke column topped with a fire cloud (pyrocumulus).
• Fire whirls.
• Volcano eruptions you can see from far away: billowing ash columns, pyroclastic flows, lava bombs and lightning in the plume.

Sky

• A new sun and moon, and proper solar and lunar eclipses: the diamond ring, the corona, and a copper blood moon. You get a heads-up on the day.
• The sun and moon no longer vanish when you look at them.

Also

• Five new advancements: Totality, Blood Moon, Dirty Thunderstorm, Wall of Dust and Front Page.
• New tornado and siren sounds, rebuilt sirens, a real portable radar display, and the forecaster is now a projector.
• The radar shows what is really there, with the real TVS icon.
• Calmer seas, softer clouds, and lots of bug fixes – including the eclipse that hit every new world at its first noon, and waterspouts that hovered above the water.

Requires Weather2 and CoroUtil on NeoForge 1.21.1.
