Modified tornado damage for PMWeather
by Elton_inc.
Modified tornado damage for PMWeather changes how tornadoes from ProtoManly's Weather destroy and grab blocks, entities and doors.
What it does
The add-on alters the tornado behavior introduced by ProtoManly's Weather, which is required. Block destruction can be scaled with a strength factor between 0.8 and the upper bound set in the options, and destruction can be switched off altogether. Storms that load distant chunks can be limited by a set distance, which keeps far-off terrain from being changed. Tornadoes can also be set to swing open doors.
Grabbing is split into separate options. Modified tornado block grabbing can be turned on or off, and living entity grabbing has its own switch. Grabbing under overhangs and roofs is an option too, with a configurable scan limit that sets how far below a roof the tornado searches for blocks it can lift. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. The project is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
