PROTOMANLY'S WEATHER WIKI

CONTENTS

Overview

ProtoManly's Weather is a Minecraft mod (v. 0.15.3 for MC 1.21.1) that completely overhauls the weather system with realistic storm simulations, including supercell tornadoes, squall lines, and tropcial cyclones.

PMWeather features a sophisticated atmospheric modeling system with wind engines, precipitation calculations, and environmental damage mechanics that create an immersive and dangerous weather experience that simulates real-life scenarios.

Storm Types

Supercells

The most dangerous storm type. Supercells are rotating thunderstorms that can spawn powerful tornadoes with wind speeds in excess of 200mph along with large hail and destructive straight-line winds.

Blocks

Weather Detection Blocks

Anemometer

Measures wind speed at its location. Right-click to read current wind speed in MPH or km/h.

Radar Block

Displays real-time weather visualization. Cycle through modes with right-click:

  • Reflectivity - Precipitation intensity
  • Velocity - Doppler wind speed
  • IR - Infrared cloud tops

METAR Block

Reports atmospheric data including temperature, dew point, wind direction/speed, and tornado risk forecasts for the next 72 hours.

Tornado Sensor

Outputs redstone signal (power 15) when a Stage 3 tornado is nearby. Detection range is 2x the storm size.

Tornado Siren

Plays a warning siren every 2 minutes when a Stage 3 tornado is within range. Essential for base protection!

Weather Platform

Launch point for weather balloons. Right-click with a Weather Balloon item to launch. Connect to a Sounding Viewer using the Connector item.

Sounding Viewer

Displays atmospheric sounding data (vertical profile). Must be connected to a Weather Platform via the Connector item.

Defensive Blocks

Reinforced Glass

Storm-resistant transparent block with 3.0 strength (vs 0.3 for normal glass). Essential for windows in tornado-prone areas.

Reinforced Glass Pane

Pane version of reinforced glass with 1.5 strength.

Infrastructure Blocks

WSR-88D Core

Central component of the Doppler radar multiblock structure. Can be optionally required for radar functionality.

Radome

Protective dome for radar equipment. Aesthetic/protective block for multiblock structures.

Range Upgrade Module

Extends radar detection range when attached to the radar multiblock.

Items

Connector

Links weather infrastructure together. Right-click a Weather Platform to set connection, then right-click a Sounding Viewer to establish the link.

Weather Balloon

Launches a weather measurement probe from a Weather Platform. Right-click on an active platform to launch.
