Unified Wind
by bscit
Unified Wind is a NeoForge library that gives several wind-affected mods one shared wind behavior, configured in a single place.
What it does
Several mods in the catalog change how wind works, and Unified Wind routes them through a shared wind model so their effects agree. Minecraft particles such as falling leaves and rain can respond to the same wind, and the bundled sound effects and wind particles follow it as well. Cloth Config API is required, and options adjust how the wind affects each supported mod through its configuration screen.
Unified Wind works through fairly invasive mixin injections into the code of the mods it supports, and its API methods are documented in UnifiedWind.java for mod authors who want to connect to it. Some effects only work when the mod is installed on both sides. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so a server can run it alone or with clients that have it. Its source code is public, with an issue tracker, and the code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. It is open source. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with 0.3.1 as the latest beta file, released 2026-08-05. A wiki is planned but not yet available.

Recipes Reforged is NeoForge only for 1.21.1, a server-side only mod under All rights reserved and not open source, so it does not touch wind. Wind Fix Updated is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.21.1 – 26.2 on Fabric and NeoForge, and it is server-side only. WindLink is client-side only, not open source and covers 1.21.1 – 26.2 on Fabric and NeoForge.
