TODO

Needs improvement

• Write documentation on how to add weathers and effects

Nice to have

• Assign meta data (like "downfall", "wind", etc.) to weather presets
• Optimize performance by replacing some particles with animated texture planes

Future Plans & Ideas

• Complete season system
  • crops grow better in their respective season or worse in winter
  • regrowing apples, lemons, etc. in their respective months
  • holidays and reminders via chat commands
  • day/night cycle adjusted to season
  • special events like a bloodmoon -> increased mob spawns
  • water can freeze over in winter
• Fantasy weather effects
  • pretty skyboxes
  • swirling flower petals, mushroom spores, etc. in fitting biomes
  • underground environment effects
  • space effects at high y-level (meteors, magnetic storms, different skybox)
• Eco Pack (with climate change)
  • Integration with Technic mods, etc.
  • Track planted trees vs chopped wood, killed mobs, etc.
  • Ecological footprint influences weather
  • Extreme weather scenarios and desasters
  • Tornados, poisonous rain that kills crops and animals, bush fires,...
• Survival Pack
  • Body temperature becomes survival aspect
  • Use local heat as base value
  • swimming will cool down
  • standing near fire will warm up
  • craftable warm clothes
  • metal armor will worsen heat issues
• A flag indicating wind direction
