swirling smoke

Swirling Smoke

Swirling Smoke makes smoke particles react naturally to dynamic wind, weather, surrounding terrain, and local airflow. Smoke rises vertically near its source before gradually drifting with the wind, while caves, trees, walls, and other obstacles reduce or block outdoor airflow.

The mod includes multiple wind conditions, ranging from calm air and gentle breezes to strong winds and sudden gusts. Rain and thunderstorms also affect wind behavior, while caves remain mostly still with occasional subtle underground drafts.
