WindTweaks

WindTweaks changes wind charge behavior on Paper, Folia, and Fabric servers. It adds a configurable air-hit boost inspired by spear mace wind-charge mechanics on Minemen Club, plus settings for cooldowns and projectile despawning.

Features

• Configure the air-hit boost, including its radius, minimum fall distance, and vertical velocity.
• Optionally require the player to carry a spear.
• Choose whether to keep horizontal velocity, reset fall distance, or apply damage.
• Toggle the boost’s sound and particle effects.
• Disable the boost in selected worlds or dimensions.
• Set the wind-charge cooldown and projectile lifetime.
• Paper and Folia support.

Supported versions

• Paper and Folia: Minecraft 1.21.11–26.3
• Fabric: Minecraft 1.21.11, 26.1.x, 26.2.x, and 26.3.x

Fabric downloads are version-specific. Install the JAR for your Minecraft version. Fabric API is required.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21.11: Java 21 or newer
• Minecraft 26.x: Java 25 or newer
• Fabric builds: Fabric Loader and Fabric API

The Fabric mod is server-side. Players joining a dedicated server do not need it installed on their clients. Singleplayer is not currently supported.

Installation

Place the matching JAR in the server’s plugins folder for Paper or Folia, or in mods for Fabric. Start the server once to create its configuration file.

Commands

• /windtweaks reload — reloads the configuration.

On Paper and Folia, this command requires windtweaks.admin, which is granted to operators by default. On Fabric, it requires operator-level permissions.

Configuration

Edit the config and run /windtweaks reload to apply your changes.

The optional fall-distance reset may help avoid anti-cheat false positives, but compatibility depends on the server and its anti-cheat configuration.
