TornadoPlugin

Tornado Plugin

This plugin adds dynamic tornadoes to Minecraft worlds.
Tornadoes move through the terrain, pick up entities, destroy blocks, and create chaotic storms around them.

They can spawn automatically or be created manually with commands.

Tornado strength ranges from EF0 to EF5, with stronger tornadoes causing more destruction.

Functions

🌪 Realistic tornado movement

Tornadoes move across the world instead of staying in one place.

🌪 Entity lifting

Players, mobs, and dropped items can be lifted and pulled into the tornado.

🌪 Block destruction

The tornado destroys blocks near the ground.

🌪 Lightning strikes

Lightning can occasionally strike around the tornado during storms.

🌪 Configurable behavior

Most parameters can be changed in the config.yml.

You can configure:

• tornado height
• bottom radius
• top radius
• automatic spawn settings
• and other parameters.

Tornado Levels

Tornadoes can spawn with different strengths:

EF0 — very weak
EF1
EF2
EF3
EF4
EF5 — extremely destructive

Stronger tornadoes lift more entities and destroy more blocks.

Commands

Create a tornado:

/tornado <x> <y> <z> <duration> <speed> <direction> <ef>

Parameters

x y z — spawn coordinates
duration — tornado lifetime in seconds
speed — movement speed
direction — movement direction
ef — tornado strength (ef0–ef5)

Directions

north
south
east
west
player (uses the direction the player is looking)

Example

/tornado 100 64 200 60 0.06 north ef3

This will create an EF3 tornado at the specified coordinates.

Performance Warning

⚠ This plugin can be performance intensive.

Especially with EF4–EF5 tornadoes:

weak servers may experience TPS drops

players may experience FPS drops

For better performance it is recommended to:

use EF5 tornadoes only for special events

reduce tornado parameters in config.yml
