Winded
by Dustfired
Winded makes Breezes spawn naturally across the overworld, so players can meet them outside Trial Chambers on high terrain.
What it does
Breezes normally appear only inside Trial Chambers. Winded lets them spawn in the open world, following a set of biomes between Y 105 and the mountain tops, among them the high peaks, snowy slopes, cherry groves, wooded badlands and savanna plateaus. Spawns also happen in caves within the same Y range, so players who climb high or search underground find them without entering a trial.
The mod is server required and client optional: the server needs it to run the spawns, while players may add it but do not have to. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 10 release versions, 1.21.5 – 26.1.2, and the latest file for each loader is v1.1.2+mod for 26.1.2. A data pack build is also available for servers. Winded is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Winded is compatible with the Die Sword datapack or mod. When Die Sword is installed, Breezes can also spawn Elites in the world, which the author notes as a combined effect rather than a separate feature.
Key features
Natural Breeze spawns
Breezes appear in the open world on the biomes listed, instead of only inside Trial Chambers.
Height-based spawning
Spawns follow a Y range from 105 upward, so the mountain biomes and high terrain are where the encounters happen.
Cave spawns
Breezes can also spawn in caves within the same Y range, adding encounters below ground.
Die Sword compatibility
With Die Sword installed, Breezes can spawn Elites in the world alongside the regular spawns.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Players who want more Breeze encounters outside Trial Chambers, and server owners who want them spread across mountain and cave terrain.
