Spotlight: Minecraft Tornadoes and Weather Mod

Weather surfing fire worms and tornadoes this is going to be a great episode netcasts you love from people you trust this is twit video and audio bandwidth provided by cashfly at c-a-c-h-e-f-l-y hello and welcome to omgcraft i’m your host omg chad this is a show that’ll teach you how to become a minecraft

Expert in no time are you tired of the boring old weather system seems like it’s either raining or it’s not with maybe a few thunderstorms thrown in for spice well today’s mod adds a lot more spice to your game this mod is created by karasus and adds a ton

Of interesting stuff to the game so let’s check it out so here we are on this is my survival server that i play things on so if you uh normally watch my youtube videos uh this is a server that everything happens on uh anthony one of our editors lives

Right up there i live over here so first let’s go ahead and show off just some of the differences that this does you can see these leaves these leaves are coming from the trees and they’re blowing in the wind we have little extra particles coming down from these waterfalls here

And you can also hear the extra sound torches will blow with the wind the wind does matter and so you’ll see that all of the particles sort of match each other as you’re moving through uh the world uh and and so that adds kind of a cool little dynamic feeling to the game

Especially during things like maybe weather right here you can see sort of we got uh we have waves on the water now they do act a little bit weird kind of starting here at the edge and bulging out not exactly how you would expect waves to act but there are waves now in

The game and these waves will you know work just as you would expect if maybe there’s a storm happening the waves will sort of go crazy and act really really weird now normally either you just have rain on or off so let’s go ahead and toggle the the weather here

So now we have started rain and as you can see the rain is definitely different and with this type of weather there are actually five different stages of rain so it’ll run through instead of just raining or not raining and thunderstorm or not thunderstorm you have five different stages that a storm

Will work through sometimes these storms can destroy blocks and cause too much wind to occur you can see that now the wind is picking up and our our torch right here is sending embers further further off into the area while this rain is going on let me talk

About these craftable items you have first this is called a tornado detector and it’s crafted this way and it uses redstone uh outside so it whenever it detects a tornado it will send redstone out the side and then this is a tornado siren well here let’s go ahead and turn off

This rain here just to kind of clear up everything and not listen to all the music but if you have a tornado detector and a tornado well we’ll we’ll we’ll get to that later let me show off some other things that this uh mod does uh there’s a few things

That uh he’s added that are not quite sort of i don’t know skinned all they just look like string at the moment but they each do very very different things test item actually crashes your game uh if you decide to do it so first let’s talk

About the worm gun what the worm gun does is when you right click it it sets off this weird fire rotating thing that will land under the ground and start fires so uh you can use this as you will these are more like admin tools it’s sort of

Why they’re not they don’t really have a skin to them next is the shock wave item which just makes me laugh every time i use it you use it and it flips all of the blocks around and so if you use it on grass it’ll turn it from grass into dirt

My favorite thing over here is that it will work with water so if you do that you see water blocks sort of pick up and rotate all around oh it’s it’s rotated my uh my uh my slabs here it’s put them down on the bottom i wonder if does this work with flowers

Ah no it does the the uh upside oh there we go oh it’s turned my flowers into into dead bushes oh man it kind of stinks all right so that’s the shockwave item next is the drill item and i’m going to go ahead and fly up in the air and just

Show it off once you hit right click you’ll see this sort of smoke trail sort of go down this is going to show in which direction the drill goes and you could you know fire it up fire it down it really see i’ve been thinking about

Adding a mine shaft right next to my house and so i i think i’ll use this drill item to add that mine shaft just just right here just whoa okay well that’s definitely adding something there uh and so now i have kind of a nice even

Mine shaft down here with a drill item and i can use it again and there it goes sending blocks out into nowhere uh crazy crazy stuff one of my favorites is a surfboard so you can take of course if you have waves you need to use them for something so

You throw a surfboard onto it you can also jump onto the surfboard i haven’t learned quite how to surf yet but kind of kind of neat that you get a surfboard as well and then finally the piece of resistance is the tornado gun yes this mod includes

Tornadoes we’ll go ahead and stand next to this siren to uh to listen to it as it goes off and they’ll probably break it because it’s gonna be way too loud but here is a tornado go ahead and go whoa okay that’s the siren going off let’s oh my my horse come back

Go back horse oh no oh no um okay well here comes this is definitely a tornado uh good thing it’s missing anthony’s house over here you can see the line of destruction it’s ripped the leaves off of all of these trees here uh apparently there’s uh there’s kind of

Some holes in our world oh there’s an enderman there’s all of these blocks have been picked up from the area around here there’s a creeper getting caught up in the tornado if we want you know we could start up a few of them here you know no no reason not to so i’ve

Just added three more tornadoes to our world i love the fact that these particles actually sort of mimic what uh is is happening on the ground level so if it if it falls into water it’ll these will actually turn blue and pick up water i’ve definitely added quite a lot of

Tornadoes to my game which is causing it to lag just a bit oh wait a second that is that one that one hit anthony’s house uh okay no oh whoa whoa this is getting really close to my house you can see the trail uh it’s hitting my mine shaft go just go

Right just on the other side of my house see there goes picking up water blocks and all sorts of stuff yes my house was saved oh but my cow farm is not saved there they go now if you’re wondering what happens if you’re i’m in creative and so i’m flying

Around let’s go ahead and switch into uh you know normal old normal game mode game mode zero and here i go i get picked up let’s also make it daytime why not uh time set day and there we go you can sort of see what’s happening now i’m being picked up

I can’t quite oh shoot i just clicked another tornado into our world um it’s i can’t move i will hit fall damage i can’t grab on to anything here uh we got we got all sorts of things trapped in here with us uh creepers and and skeletons and dirt blocks

And uh all sorts of stuff it looks like this tornado might be winding down and yes this is the tornado mod hi skeleton hello get out of here uh you silly zombie this mod maker also puts up videos about what he’s working on at the moment you can head on over to youtube.com
