Wind

Wind particles naturally flowing in the direction of the wind

Rare, but destructive forces, pulling in blocks and entities below and throwing out from the top, leaving a path of destruction.

Sandstorms will obstruct your vision while travelling in the desert.

At a certain wind speed, light blocks will be picked up and carried with the wind. Note how the house protected with the stone brick roof (higher blast resistance) is protected from the wind.
The effect is set to a higher chance of occurring in the video to get a representation of the effect in a shorter time.

Snow piling up in multiple layers

The wind will boost players flying with elytra if they're flying in the direction of the wind. Flying against the wind will be more difficult.

At certain wind speeds, entities will start being pushed by the wind and moving slightly.

The wind carrying fire in its direction, causing fires to spread faster.

Based on wind speeds, the player might end up tripping in the wind.

If WorldGuard is installed, you can prevent damage from wind effects in regions by using the flag 'wind-damage'.
IMPORTANT:
BEFORE VERSION 1.20.0:
Regions will by default have the flag denied, so if you have a global region and want to enable weather damage globally (outside specified regions) you need to set the flag 'wind-damage' to 'allow' in the global region
AFTER VERSION 1.20.0:
Due to a lot of users being confused by the fact that effects don't work in the global region (__global__) because the global regions are protected by default, the plugin will from now on automatically set the 'wind-damage' flag to 'ALLOW' if it's undefined. Therefore if you want to disable damage from wind in the global region you have to set the 'wind-damage' flag to DENY! It is not enough to remove the 'allow' flag, it HAS to be set to 'deny'. This only goes for the global region. Other regions will have deny as default, so if nothing is defined manually, wind damage will be disabled.

With PlaceholderAPI installed you have access to the following four placeholders:
- %wind_speed_short% (returns wind speed in a 2 digit number)
- %wind_speed% (returns full wind speed)
- %wind_direction_short% (returns wind direction in a 2 digit number)
- %wind_direction% (returns full wind direction)
- %wind_direction_natural% (returns written cardinal/ordinal direction, eg. N, NW, SW, SE etc.)

All claims made by either GriefPrevention or Lands will be protected from wind block damage.
