This isn’t a super super important edition or anything really, just a thing I want for immersion’s sake. I honestly would be fine with a small mod adding in some tiny touches or something like that to make weather actually effect the world more. I’ve looked around on the mod database and haven’t found anything, if anyone reading this knows of a mod please share!
Okay onto my whole idea blurb thing:
Weather, more specifically wind, is really something that feels like it should have more impact than it does. Right now rain is little more than a cosmetic event that makes things wet. And wind has it even worse with that I’m pretty sure it actually does nothing aside from the visuals.
Now I don’t mean add in entire natural disasters like tornados and hurricanes (even though that would be cool as hell). Just something simple like “strong wind pushes creatures/ hinders movement” would go a long way to adding more depth to storms. Adding more impact to rain could be tricky though as things like flooding couldn’t reasonably be added in without causing lag. Something smaller, maybe a slight “slipping” effect like with ice could be fun. I do also like the idea of mudslides being a thing when you have dynamic soil blocks enabled.
(Some small semblance of weathering would be an interesting addition to go along with it, like metal blocks oxidizing, oxidized blocks having runoff, stone and wood growing moss, and other things like that. Although this is another whole can of worms from adding more immersion to weather, fun to think about though)
Anyways that’s the end of my suggestion thing.
