PMWeather Storm Additions
PMWeather Storm Additions makes the storms of its parent weather mod more dangerous, with hail that can hurt entities and slowly break blocks.
What it does
Hail damage depends on the hail level, so entities caught in intense hail take more harm than in light weather. Blocks also break slowly when hail is strong enough, which lets storms reshape the terrain over time. The mod's author notes that hail damage is more configurable than in earlier builds, aiming for a more realistic effect with options that adjust how much damage is dealt.
The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It is published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1 alone, and the newest build is 0.1.6.1 on the alpha channel. Version 0.1.0 was removed because it caused problems when running servers, so the latest file is the one to use. Compatibility with other biomes is described by the author as somewhat finicky. The license is custom, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Depth-scaled hail damage
Entities take damage from hail in proportion to the hail level, so stronger storms hit harder.
Slowly breaking blocks
Intense hail can wear down blocks over time, changing the terrain during bad weather.
Configurable damage
Hail damage can be adjusted through options, letting server owners tune how severe storms feel.
Planned block blacklist
The author plans to let certain blocks or tags resist hail, which the notes list as a future addition.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Harsher weather on a server
Server owners who want storms to pose a real threat can raise the hail effects through the configurable damage options.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners who already run a weather mod and want its storms to carry more risk, on NeoForge 1.21.1 servers.
How it compares
PMExpansion is a client-side only NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 under All rights reserved, so it does not run on a server. Storm Spawner is a client and server NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 under All rights reserved, so both sides need it. PMW Villagers Take Cover! is a server-side only NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 under the MIT License, which makes it the closest match in environment to this mod.
