Disasters Cataclysm
by tempis335
Disasters Cataclysm adds 13 natural disasters to Fabric survival worlds, including meteorites, earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions.
What it does
Disasters Cataclysm adds large-scale natural disasters to Fabric survival worlds, and their unpredictable arrival makes survival harder. Meteorite showers, dust storms, whirlpools, sudden landslides and volcanic eruptions are among the events it can bring, each one placed into the existing world rather than sitting apart from it.
The mod is built to keep the vanilla feel. Its effects blend with the game's own style instead of standing out as foreign elements, and it extends features that are already present. Events can be triggered by command with the dc summon command, which suits map makers and server administrators who want controlled disasters. A convenient TOML configuration file sets the frequency, intensity and behavior of each disaster.
Disasters Cataclysm runs on the client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric only, with nine release versions 1.16.5 – 1.21.11 and 0.0.1 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. The code is licensed under the Apache License 2.0, and the project is not open source.
