# Scorchful 0.17.0 for Minecraft 26.1.x: Deadlier Sandstorms
A first new content update for 26.1.x. This update aims to make sandstorms more dangerous to both make them more interesting and to align them better with the storms of Arrakis.
- Breezes now spawn naturally in packs of 1-2 during Sandstorms (and Blizzards).
- They will spawn during both the day and night.
- This can be disabled via config, but is enabled by default.
- Sandstorms can now be made suffocating.
- This feature is _disabled_ by default.
- When it is thundering, being outside in a sandstorm will cause the player to lose air.
- When the player runs out of air, they will take suffocation damage (this is a custom damage type).
- This does not apply to non-player mobs, as that would result in mass casualty events during every sandstorm, but it can be controlled with the entity-type tag `#scorchful:suffocates_in_sandstorms`.
