Kirona It should hopefully be all set now ^.^

Fair enough! Once you've got an update posted I'll be happy to get this mod back, the meteors are fun and the meteor showers are SO PRETTY xD

Kirona Yep xD

The means of accessing blocks in the world was changed in 1.17. There's a further change to that coming in the next release candidate that will possibly affect Meteoric Expansion, so I'm just waiting for that before putting out an update here.

Hey, I know you haven't put out a 1.17 update yet, but I tried running the current version on it anyway because I'm a nut. It mostly works, but when a meteor hits the ground it crashes the internal server (singleplayer) and plays the impact sound every tick for like 10 seconds. x)

Taska Sweet, thanks! I kinda wanted a vaguely more dangerous, apocalyptic feel to things, and I figure meteor strikes can add to that but a few dozen hours of gameplay hadn't seen a single one yet x)

Kirona Yea, in the mod config file you can increase the minimum and maximum vertical speed to make their trajectory more perpendicular to the ground and you can also configure how long a meteor exists before doing an airburst explosion with the meteor lifespan options

Is there any way to specifically make meteors more likely to hit the ground, without actually increasing their overall frequency by a ton?

ate0ate Thank you! 😄

Taska I must say that those new and improved meteor showers are absolutely gorgeous. I must have gotten lucky because as I was rushing to start a fire as the sun set on my first night in a new world I was very pleasantly greeted by a beautiful display in the skies as I was doing so. Beyond atmospheric:) You do amazing work.

1Joachim1 The config file should automatically update with all your old settings in tact. Both systems are on by default, so should make landfall just like you had it before updating ^.^

if i update the mod i should delete the old config file then, right? or does it auto-update it with the extra options? i'm playing with a Friend in a server hosted in my own machine. the meteors will land again in the ground? (if the option to break the world is active)

Kyks The new version of the mod has some config options to adjust vertical speed for falling meteors and showers now, too! Found a proper solution that works for single player games and servers.

Shion Kinda normal yes... a meteorite spawns at the edge of the crater along the trajectory vector of the meteor. So, in instances where the meteor strikes shallow, it can sometimes be level with the ground.

Is it normal that meteorite spawns slightly outside of the crater? Maybe it should be in the middle, or at least 3 blocks lower or something?

@Taska Thanks for the quick response. I am playing Singleplayer at the moment Ill give 1.1.0 a try.

Great job ! 

Kyks I had to remove those config options in version 1.1.1 and haven't found a solution since :/

  The problem is that those config values are serverside only. The motion behavior, which determines the trajectory and rotation of meteors, is calculated on both the client and the server. This means that the clientside won't have access to critical data it needs to remain synced with the server, since a remote client can't access the server config values(that I'm aware of).

I would love to find a way to offer that customization for everyone. If I do think of something, it'll happen.

In the meantime, you could download the 1.1.0 version and run that if you're playing a single-player world for that functionality. The only thing 1.1.1 does is remove that functionality which was causing crashes on public servers.

Thanks for checking out the mod! I'm glad you enjoy it ^.^

Just installed and tweaked the config to see them every minute just to have a look at them. watch about 30 streak in the sky. But i did not see any hit the ground. Based on your picture and description it is possible.

Is there a config for how often they make landfall ?

Really liking the mod. ! Great job !

Madman2429 Thanks for the report! This does only affect servers, and not single player instances. I have a fix coming out in a moment that'll address this. Unfortunately, this means I need to cut the speed and scale configuration options unless I can find another way around the problem.

Reporting a crash related to the mod. On non-dedicated server, clients aside from host crash when certain meteorites appear. Was unable to identify specific cause and logs were in native languages. It appeared to be related with the meteorite's model, as it crashed when in render distance only. Wish I had more details but that is all we've found so far. 

Kirona I'm actually just in the process of overhauling crater sites. I'll share some images of those ones shortly ^.^

I think at most, with default settings, you'll see craters with a diameter of 9 blocks?

Any chance of adding in a picture or two of a collision site with destruction enabled? I'm curious about enabling that option, but there's not anything I can find to tell me if I'm risking losing a few blocks, or like a 200-block-wide super-crater ;p

Shion

It should, version 1.0.6  was an update to make it compatible with 1.16 O.o

I've had it running on a new single player world but that's a super small sample size.

Does it work with 1.16.0? I stopped hearing any meteorites falling down lately...

1.0.4 was my sound update =c

Others have asked about further change to the sounds too so I will consider it. I quite like how they sound at the moment, honestly, so it'd have to be something truly epic to take its place. 

Any chance that you're overhauling the sounds? In my humble opinion, they do sound a little unfitting. But maybe thats just me.

I made a video showing the work of the mod from a visual point of view in the form of a time-lapse.
