⚡ Project Atmosphere – Beta Pre-Release Update ⚡

Sorry for the delays, I’ve been busy outside of modding (it was my birthday last week 🎉).
But here’s what I cooked up for you all:

🌪️ Tornadoes

• More realistic shapes
• High winds can push and move entities (still not realistic enough for me, more work coming)
• Wind streaks appear during storms for a more dynamic effect

⚙️ Performance

• Project Atmosphere now uses its own biome lookup system, similar to seed viewer sites, instead of vanilla’s biome checks
• This greatly improves stability and FPS:
  • 4070 Ti Super: before → 70–150 FPS inside a cumulonimbus, now → 190–330 FPS (with peaks up to 500)
  • RTX 3050: before → ~90 FPS (unplayable), now → 100–130 FPS
• There are still fluctuations, but the gains are huge

🛠️ Other Notes

• Started working on models — they’ll be released progressively as development continues
• Added crafting recipes for new instruments
• Sandstorms are now optional
