Aeronautics: Winds & Weather
Aeronautics: Winds & Weather adds wind, weather and temperature to the ship physics of its base mods, with masts, yards and cloth-simulated sails that respond to the wind on NeoForge.
What it does
Sails in the mod are rigged from masts and yards placed on a ship, and the cloth they use follows wind direction and wind speed. Players attach rope and sail material to build the rigging, and the sails move as the wind changes. The weather and temperature systems are the mod's own additions and sit alongside the ship physics of its required mods.
The mod is built for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, and no other loader or game version is listed for it. It runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it, and it requires Create, Create Aeronautics and Sable. The license is All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source.
Key features
Masts and yards
Masts and yards can be placed on a ship to hold the sails in place.
Cloth-simulated sails
Sails use cloth physics, so the fabric bends and moves with the wind rather than staying flat.
Attachable rope
Rope can be attached to sails and used for trimming them in a continuous line.
Sail materials
Sails can be made from several materials, including cotton.
Wind, weather and temperature
Realistic wind, weather and temperature systems add conditions that affect how ships handle at sea.

How it compares
AeroWeather is open source under the MIT License, runs on NeoForge 1.21.1 and is client and server, so it covers weather without the sail rigging. Weather Physics (Wind, Sails & Tornadoes) is also open source under the MIT License, for NeoForge 1.21.1, and adds sails and tornadoes. Real Sailing ships (RSS) targets NeoForge 1.21.8 and is not open source, so it does not share this mod's version. Aeronautics x Protomanly is a further add-on for NeoForge 1.21.1 with a license of All rights reserved, and Create Aeronautics Physics Gantry is open source under the MIT License for the same version.
