Natural Disasters!
by Rad_Modding
Natural Disasters! spawns nine kinds of disasters in the world, from meteor showers and tornadoes to acid rain and massive floods.
What it does
Disasters appear naturally in the world once the feature is enabled, and a detector item scans the area nearby. When one is found, the detector shows a message on screen naming it and plays a sound, with a tornado siren for tornadoes. Ruined houses can also generate in the world as part of the setting.
Meteor showers fall from high in the sky and leave meteorite remains where they land, and a single meteor can strike on its own. Other events rip up blocks from the ground, flood an area with waves that submerge anything in their path, set blocks inside a zone on fire, poison entities caught in acid rain, or send sand flying with a cloud of particles. One event digs a hole into the ground.
The mod works on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.20.1 – 26.1.1 across seven release versions. The latest Forge file is 2.0.0 for 1.20.1, and the latest NeoForge file is 2.0.0 for 26.1.1, both dated 2026-04-08. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
