Tornado In A Jar
Tornado In A Jar, a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1, lets players capture storms inside jars and release them later, with several tornado types that each apply a different effect.
What it does
Tornadoes are stored in special jars, so storm energy can be kept safely and released when a player chooses. Each tornado type applies its own effect, which makes a jar suited to different situations. Types include a plain tornado that draws on raw wind, a snownado with freezing cold effects, a firenado with burning winds and heat, a waterspout with water-based power, a twin tornado with an unstable dual vortex, and a multi-vortex tornado with chaotic behavior. The focus is on weather-based abilities that let a player capture a storm and use it in combat or building.
The mod is built for vanilla-style survival play and uses common Minecraft materials for most tornado jars, so it can be used early without long crafting chains. It works alongside most mods that heavily change weather or potion systems. Client and server both need it, so the server and every player install it. The NeoForge file is version 3.7 for 1.21.1, released under the MIT License, and the project is not open source. JEI is recommended for looking up recipes.

How it compares
Tornado Intercept is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 with the same client and server environment, but it is under All rights reserved and is not open source. Echoes of the World is also a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 with client and server environment, and it is open source under the MIT License. Generic Enchants covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21.9 – 26.2 and is server required with client optional, so it works in a different way.
