21.0.9-beta

• Added wind system into Minecraft.
  • Wind is a global weather occurrence that randomly happens in the world. Wind consists of two components on the axis X and axis Z respectively, and the max speed each component is 17.5 (m/s).
  • Wind can affect part of paricles and blocks, pushing them along the wind (It's just a visual effect). These blocks includes most of plants, chains, lanterns, water, cobweb, hanging signs, bell and banners.
  • To change the wind speed, you can use "/weather wind" command, either directly setting the speed or resetting the speed to zero.
  • In the config, you can turn the whole wind system off, or simply turn off the wind effect.
• Known issue: the wind would heavily degrades performance, even you turn the wind off. One solution is installing optimization mods. Currently, More Colorful is compatible with Sodium.
• Notice that the wind part is incompleted. More features coming soon.

• Introduced thermal system for blocks. Now each block has a temperature level (Range: 0-15) and it decreases while spreading through blocks. The conduction of heat is affected by the block's thermal resistance property.
  • Now ice and snow no longer melt depending on light level. Instead, they melt when the temperature is high enough (>5).
  • Blocks with high temperature (>12) will act like magma block and hurt entities that step on.
• Now More Colorful supports configuration. You can partially customize the mod according to your preference. You can change:
  • The weight of More Colorful biome generation (You can set it to 0 to completely prevent them from generating);
  • The disabled biomes that you don't want them to generate;
  • Allow More Colorful to add new features to vanilla biomes;
  • Allow More Colorful to add new loot to vanilla lootables;
  • Enable or disable the thermal system;
  • Define temperature and thermal resistance values for blocks;
