Living Wind Mod (1.21.1, 1.20.1)
Living Wind Mod adds a full wind system to Minecraft. Wind changes during the day, reacts to weather, and pushes leaves, dust, and other particles around you. This mod also adds four wind blocks and works with other mods, so the world feels alive.
Features:
- Changing wind: Wind direction and strength shift with weather, biomes, time of day, height, and incoming storms.
- Gusts and windy periods: Short gusts and long, rough stretches of wind make every day feel different.
- Moving particles: Leaves, grass, petals, dust, and wind streaks drift through the air and show where the wind blows.
- Tree-based falling leaves: Broadleaf trees drop fluttering leaves, while coniferous trees shed small needle clusters. Leaf types are found automatically and can be changed in the config for modded trees.
- Shelter detection: Wind gets quieter and weaker inside buildings, while leaves keep blowing past your windows outside.
- Wind blocks: Place wind vanes and mini windmills that follow the wind, including redstone versions.
- Mixes soft breezes, strong gusts, and howling winds into the sound, with different sounds in different places.
- Changes particles from vanilla Minecraft and other mods by default, except those on the particle blacklist.
- Lets you tune the wind, sounds, particles, and mod links through in-game config menus.
- Works with Create, where Windmill Bearings make RPM based on wind strength. Most mod links can be changed or turned off in the config.
Wind Blocks:
- Wind Vane: a bird-shaped weather vane that turns to show the wind direction.
- Redstone Wind Vane: has glowing direction lights and redstone outputs that change with the wind direction.
- Windmill: a mini windmill with spinning blades. The blades go faster or slower with wind strength, and the head turns with the wind.
- Redstone Windmill: gives a redstone signal that grows with wind strength, and its lights change as the wind gets stronger.
Dimension Wind Modes:
- Overworld: uses normal wind.
- Nether: has weaker background wind and stronger gusts. It also gets wind sounds, ambient particles from natural blocks, and its own shelter detection.
- The End: wind is off by default.
- Dimension Settings: lets you pick Normal, Reduced Gusty, Very Weak, or Disabled for any vanilla or modded dimension.
