Changelog 1.0.0

Initial Release

The first public release of Enhanced Volumetric Tornadoes for NeoForge 1.21.1!

New Features:

• Tornado Entity: Added the core Tornado entity with a 5-tier system (F1-F5).
• Destruction System:
  • Tornadoes can now rip blocks from the ground based on their tier.
  • Added debris physics: ripped blocks become falling entities that spiral around the vortex before being ejected.
  • Vegetation and structure scanning logic optimized for server performance.
• Visuals:
  • Implemented volumetric rendering for the tornado funnel using custom shaders.
  • Added particle systems for dust, debris, and water splashes.
• Physics:
  • Added entity pulling and lifting mechanics.
  • Added water spout logic: tornadoes moving over water will pull up liquid blocks.
  • Added lightning generation for high-tier storms (F3+).
• Audio:
  • Added dynamic wind roar sound effects that scale with tornado intensity.
  • Added siren warning sound when a tornado is near a player.

Technical:

• Implemented spiral scanning algorithm for block destruction to maintain high TPS.
• Added configuration options for tuning destruction and mechanics.
