⚡ WeatherPhysics v0.1.1 — Major Weather Update

Version 0.1.1 brings major improvements to tornado behavior, atmospheric simulation, cloud diversity, and weather visualization. Experience more dynamic storms, new cloud formations, and enhanced environmental interactions!

🌪️ Tornado Behavior & Environmental Physics

• 🧭 Dynamic Tracking: Tornadoes can now dynamically change their direction of movement.
• 🌀 Lifecycle Effects: Added realistic formation and dissipation visual/physical sequences.
• 🌊 Surface Interactions: Added distinct ground and water interaction effects when tornadoes transition across land or bodies of water.
• ⛰️ Mountain Reorganization: Improved terrain physics allowing tornadoes to structurally reorganize when colliding with mountains.
• 〰️ Rope Tornado Mechanics: Enhanced rope tornado behavior featuring more realistic twisting and structural deformation.

☁️ New Cloud Families & Atmospheric Appearance

Added a brand-new cloud family consisting of four distinct formations:

• 🌤️ Altocumulus (Appears naturally during stable atmospheric conditions)
• 🏰 Altocumulus Castellanus (Signifies increasing instability)
• ☁️ Cumulus Congestus Altocumulogenitus (Represents active convection stages)
• ⛈️ Cumulonimbus Altocumulogenitus (Advanced convective instability stages)
• ⚠️ Important Note: Altocumulus clouds and all their convective variants are strictly non-tornadic and cannot generate tornadoes.

📡 Weather Radar & Atmospheric Station

• 🌈 Reflectivity Color Scale: Updated the radar visualization with a 7-level intensity scale:
  • 🔵 Blue: Weak
  • 🔷 Light Blue: Moderate
  • 🟡 Yellow: Strong
  • 🟠 Orange: Very Strong
  • 🔴 Red: Severe
  • 🟣 Pink: Extreme
  • ⚪ White: Maximum
• 🔄 Rotation Indicator: Improved radar visuals to clearly display storm rotation patterns.
• 📈 Dynamic Atmospheric Station: Atmospheric values no longer remain static; CAPE and other variables now fluctuate dynamically over time during active simulation periods.

🌈 Visuals, Wind & Stability

• ☀️ Cloud Shadows: Added dynamic shadows appearing when players walk underneath clouds (Experimental / WIP).
• 🌈 Enhanced Rainbows: Improved visual rendering for atmospheric rainbows.
• 🏠 Shelter Wind Logic: Wind no longer pushes or affects players while they are safely inside enclosed structures.
• 🐛 Bug Fixes: Resolved an issue that caused active storms to disappear unexpectedly.

⌨️ New Cloud Spawn Commands (OP Level 2+)

Operators can manually spawn the new cloud types using:

• /weatherphysics spawncloud ALTOCUMULUS
• /weatherphysics spawncloud ALTOCUMULUS_CASTELLANUS
• /weatherphysics spawncloud CUMULUS_CONGESTUS_ALTOCUMULOGENITUS
• /weatherphysics spawncloud CUMULONIMBUS_ALTOCUMULOGENITUS
