Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.19.0 - 1.19.3, 1.19.4, 1.19.5 - 1.19.7, 1.20.0 - 1.20.3, 1.20.4 and 1.20.5 - 1.20.7, potentially outdated):
pelaguswinds_1.0.0.zip
1-click install
Inspired by simple wind direction, but a bit more complex this time.
The wind blows in the same direction on the whole map but changes gradually every X second, the period for stable wind and transition is configurable to your liking.
The main intent is to use this mod with Joy of Sailing on water maps to make sailing more enjoyable.
The mod works for both single-player and multiplayer. For servers, the wind change is controlled server-side and synced with players, so everyone has the same wind.
Let me know if you have any questions or problems while using it.
Happy sailing!

Does this change the direction the clouds travel?
This seems interesting, but does it affect other parts of the game (falling items, windmills, visual effects such as leaves and smoke, etc)?
Does this mod work for windmills? All my windmills work perfectly, regardless of wind direction
Rhoun
I've noticed that since getting this mod, it causes the windmills to slow down and speed up every few seconds, not sure why
It works both for solo and multiplayer, and I've edited the description a bit to avoid further confusion. DarkThoughts
DarkThoughts "Wouldn't work as a client only" means the mod needs to be installed server side rather than client side to work on multiplayer servers I'm pretty sure.
Hambone
That would make any sort of non-server warning redundant though.
DarkThoughts not the author, but even in offline singleplayer the game is running a server of sorts in the background for various calculations afaik.
I find the earlier comments confusing because the description makes it sound like the mod won't work in singleplayer at all? Is the comment info outdated or is the description just badly worded?
Yeah, it seems to be working fine for 1.20.x, but let me know if something breaks. Not actively playing/modding VS now, but I'll check as the mod is pretty simple.
Seems to work in 1.20.3.
seems to work fine in 1.19.8. i switched to this because simple wind direction was pissing me off.
Do you know if this mod still works in 1.19.8? I have set it in my server since the beginning, we're on year 3 now (30 day months), and wind always comes from the same side. Do I need to configure something for it to start?
Hey, Rhoun! This is a great add-on to compliment Joy of Sailing! It makes the winds at least a little more realistic than vanilla (just one wind direction), and makes the overall experience more enjoyable as a result. Thanks a bunch for making it! :2D
Glad you enjoy it! And you're right, I should mention in the description that it works for single-player without any issues. Rabbs14
I'm in a single-player world, and this works a treat. However, I had my doubts because the description doesn't specifically mention single-player worlds, and I have no knowledge at all about servers and multiplayer mods.
The thing with simple wind direction is that the wind behaved more like campfire smoke in that id be sailing along and get a headwind, forcing me to row, and whenever I changed direction, the headwind would follow me, and I'd be dead in the water; just like smoke around a campfire... so damn frustrating lol.
This mod makes sailing more enjoyable and has enough direction variability to let you sail in any direction for a decent time. In my world, the wind is blowing to the north, but it shifts from northwest to northeast, which means I can still sail directly south with a slight course adjustment and a play with the sails.
In summary, This mod works a treat and has become my new default wind mod.
