Wind Burst Rework
by Whity
Wind Burst Rework changes the wind burst enchantment on maces and crossbows, so its explosion scales with fall height and Multishot shots can carry players far.
What it does
The rework caps Wind Burst at level 1 and makes the wind explosion depend on height. A longer fall produces a bigger blast, and holding shift while landing keeps a player safe from the fall while a small explosion still fires. Arrows fired from a crossbow with Wind Burst also set off the wind explosion effect, and the particles it emits are more visible than the vanilla ones.
Combined with Multishot, the crossbow version can move a player a long horizontal distance. Each use costs 3 durability, and a Multishot shot costs 9. Server owners who want the change can add it, but players need it on their side to see the wind explosion effects. Files are published for Fabric and Forge for 1.21 and 1.21.1, and the license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Height-based wind explosion
The wind explosion grows with the height of a fall, so a high drop produces a stronger burst.
Safe landing with shift
Holding shift on landing prevents fall damage while still triggering a small explosion.
Crossbow arrows
Arrows shot from a Wind Burst crossbow cause the wind explosion effect on impact.
Multishot movement
Multishot combined with Wind Burst on a crossbow gives enough push to cover large horizontal distances.
