🌩️ WeatherPhysics v0.0.4 — Landspouts & Weather Radar Update

Version 0.0.4 introduces dynamic landspouts with full entity suction physics, fair-weather waterspouts, a fully interactive real-time Weather Radar, progressive rain intensity, and major performance optimizations.

🌪️ Landspouts & Waterspouts

• 🌪️ Dynamic Landspouts: Added independent ground-level vortices featuring variable width and dynamic structural deformation.
• 🌊 Waterspout Transformation: Landspouts seamlessly transition into fair-weather waterspouts when moving over water, changing their visual behavior and marine interactions.
• 🧲 Suction Physics: Real suction forces generated from the ground, pulling nearby players and mobs into the vortex core.
• ⚡ Multi-Vortex Events: Mature Cumulonimbus clouds now have a rare chance to deploy up to 2 landspouts simultaneously.
• 🌿 Terrain Interaction: Landspouts interact directly with ground blocks, stripping/scraping grass blocks along their paths.

📡 Interactive Weather Radar

• 🔴 Real-Time Tracking: Dynamic player icon displaying your exact location on the radar in real time.
• 🔍 Interactive Zoom: Fully scrollable map zoom using the mouse wheel.
• 🗺️ Auto-Panning HUD: Smooth UI auto-scrolling when traveling outside the currently rendered map boundaries.

Controls:

• ⌨️ Toggle Radar: Press R (default keybind, rebindable in Controls) to open/close the interactive weather radar HUD.
• 🔍 Map Zoom: Use the Mouse Scroll Wheel to zoom in/out while the radar is open.

🌧️ Rain, Hail & Visual Overhauls

• 🌧️ Progressive Rain System: Rain intensity now scales dynamically based on the cloud's current maturity stage.
• 🧊 Variable Hail Intensity: Adjusted hail spawning algorithms to support continuous, dense hail during severe storms.
• ✨ Polished Rain Curtains: Visual overhaul of rain curtains, eliminating graphic glitches when rendering under clouds.

🔧 Fixes & Optimization

• 🌐 Server-Client Sync: Complete packet flow redesign to eliminate lag and desync for clouds and landspouts.
• 🧹 Memory Management: Auto-cleanup system for expired landspouts to optimize server performance.
• 🐛 Suction Height Fix: Fixed an issue where landspout suction only affected entities at high altitudes.
• 🔧 Vanilla Weather Override: Permanently blocked Minecraft's base rain engine from triggering unexpectedly.

🔇 Note: Ambient wind sound effects are currently in development and will arrive in a future update. Supercell tornadoes of greater scale are also planned!
