Global Wind Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
What does the Global Wind Mod do?
The mod introduces dynamic wind currents across your world that can blow in any direction. This wind actively influences the movement of entities, including players, mobs, and projectiles.
Does the wind push my player character?
Yes, wind applies physical force to your player. You will feel resistance when moving against it and gain a speed boost when moving in the direction it blows.
Are arrows and other projectiles affected by wind?
Yes, projectiles such as arrows are swept off course by the wind. You must compensate for wind direction and strength when aiming at distant targets.
Does wind affect hostile and passive mobs?
Yes, mobs are pushed by wind currents just like players. Strong gusts can drift them across open terrain or hinder their movement when they try to walk into the wind.
When does the wind become strongest?
Wind strength increases significantly during rainy weather. It becomes extremely strong during thunderstorms, exerting massive force on anything out in the open.
How can I tell which direction the wind is blowing?
You can observe the wind effects directly in the environment around you. Alternatively, stand still or fire a projectile to see which direction the force carries you or your shot.
How do I safely travel during a thunderstorm?
Keep to low ground, use natural terrain for cover, and avoid standing near steep cliffs or drops where a gust could push you off. If the wind is too disruptive, wait out the storm inside a shelter.
Can wind blow from any direction?
Yes, wind can blow in any direction across your world. Because the direction can shift, you should check wind behavior regularly before attempting precise projectile shots or risky parkour.
Does wind affect entities indoors or underground?
Heading inside an enclosed structure or retreating underground shields you from the force of the wind. Building solid walls and roofs is an effective way to maintain safe, stable movement.
Is the wind always blowing even when the sky is clear?
Yes, wind is present in the world during normal weather, but it operates at a much milder intensity. It only ramps up to disruptive levels during rain and severe thunderstorms.
