🌤 Project Atmosphere v0.5.5.0

🌍 New Feature: Temperature Biome Support

Project Atmosphere now fully supports Biomes O’ Plenty, Atmospheric, and Still Life biomes for temperature simulation!

• Each biome from these mods now has integrated temperature profiles that align with Project Atmosphere’s forecasting system.
• Added a flexible biome registration system, allowing you to add your own custom biome temperature profiles through data files or code.
• Fog, cloud density, and humidity systems will adapt automatically when temperature data is applied.

☁ New Cloud Types

• Altocumulus
• Altostratus
• Cumulus Congestus
• Cumulus Humilis
• Cumulus Mediocris
• Nimbostratus → now behaves realistically as a rain-only cloud (no thunder)

---

🌫 Dense Clouds (No Rain)

• Altostratus Dry
• Stratocumulus Opacus
• Cumulus Humilis

---

🌧 Clouds That Now Produce Rain

• Floating FarLand
• Overcast
• Thicker Stratocumulus
• Mammatus Thin

---

⚙ System and Balance Updates

• Reorganized all cloud types into 7 clear categories:
  1. Small Clouds
  2. Cloudy
  3. Cloudy Dense (no rain except Altocumulus and Mammatus Thin)
  4. Rainy
  5. Heavy Rain
  6. Thunderstorm
  7. Take Shelter
• Every cloud was manually reviewed and tested using the Cloud Previewer
• Removed glitched profiles:
  • stripe
  • stripe_side
  • dithering
• Added a Cloud Region Mixin for unique cloud IDs
  → Improves despawn logic and network sync reliability

---

❄ Serene Seasons Plus Integration

• Fixed snowfall logic — snow now behaves correctly across all biomes
• Fixed a tick performance issue related to getTemperature() calls
• Improved sync between Project Atmosphere and Serene Seasons Plus

---

💻 New Weather Debug Commands

Added new commands to simplify testing and debugging weather systems:

Command	Description
/weatherdebug rain	Spawns a rain cloud at your position
/weatherdebug thunder	Spawns a thunderstorm cloud at your position
/weatherdebug clouds <id>	Spawns a specific cloud type (by ID) at your position

---

🧠 Performance and Stability

• Verified using Spark Profiler
  • Reduced tick cost and thread load
  • Smoother atmospheric updates
• Applied small optimizations and cleanup across several systems

---

🔮 Next Steps

• Collect feedback for cloud balance and realism
• Begin work on:
  • Northern Lights and Rainbow system
  • Cloud model revamp
  • Tornado system continuity
