Ex Meteor Shower Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start a meteor shower right now?
Use the command `/quick_meteor ` to instantly spawn a meteor shower with a preset configuration, or use `/meteor_shower ` for precise control over location and meteor count.
Why aren't meteors spawning naturally in my world?
Natural meteor showers are intelligent and based on time, moon phases, and weather conditions—they won't spawn constantly. Check your configuration file to ensure the base probability and night bonus values aren't set too low, or use `/meteorevent force` to trigger one manually.
Can I change the color and size of meteors?
Yes, all meteor appearance settings are fully customizable through JSON configuration files—you can adjust color, size, speed, and trail effects without restarting by using `/reload_trail_config`.
What's the difference between small and epic meteor showers?
The mod supports four scale options ranging from small showers to epic storms, which differ in the quantity of meteors spawned and the intensity of the visual effects; you can configure the quantity ranges for each scale in your settings.
How do I remove all the meteors from my world?
Use `/clearmeteors all` to remove all meteor entities at once, or `/clearmeteors` without the `all` parameter to clear a smaller area around you.
Can I set different trail effects for different types of meteors?
Yes, the mod supports multi-entity trail configurations, allowing you to assign unique trail effects (size, fade colors, max points) to different entity types through the configuration files.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod is optimized with intelligent entity management and memory optimization to maintain smooth gameplay even during large meteor events; performance depends on your hardware and how many meteors you configure to spawn simultaneously.
Does this mod work in multiplayer?
Yes, the mod includes client-server synchronization to ensure all players see the same meteor events consistently in multiplayer worlds.
How do I check if a meteor event is currently active?
Use `/meteorevent status` to check the current state of natural meteor shower events in your world.
Can I customize how often natural meteor showers happen?
Yes, you can configure the base probability and night bonus values in the JSON configuration files to control how frequently natural meteor showers occur, and changes take effect without restarting.
