Tornado Plugin Overview

Automatic or manual tornado events create a rotating smoke-and-dust funnel that drags nearby mobs, lifts loose blocks (logs, leaves, dirt, sand, gravel), and scatters them as falling debris.
Size is configurable from small through giant; spawn interval, chance, max concurrent storms, and allowed worlds are all controlled through config.yml.
Tornado behavior is configurable: move speed, duration, funnel height/arms, particle density, lift power per size, max blocks lifted each tick, debris density, and the block used for the ground trail.
Mobs are handled passively: they are pulled and lifted but given slow falling to reduce damage; no direct damage is applied by the tornado itself.
Leaves a debris trail on the ground using the configured block and paints extra dust using block particles for a visible path.
Commands: /tornado spawn [size] to summon near you (or the console uses the first allowed world spawn), /tornado reload to apply config changes; permission tornado.command defaults to ops.

Config Notes

Key spawn settings: spawn.enabled, spawn.interval_ticks, spawn.chance, spawn.player_search_radius, spawn.max_active, spawn.size_range.min/max, spawn.worlds (empty = any).
Tornado tuning: tornado.duration_ticks, tornado.move_speed, tornado.funnel_height, tornado.swirl_arms, tornado.particle_density, debris block/trail chance and density, lift settings (max_blocks_per_tick, allowed_blocks), and mob pull/vertical boost/slow fall ticks.
Size profiles under sizes let you set radius and lift_power independently for small, medium, large, and giant.
After editing the config, run /tornado reload in-game to apply changes without restarting.

Only blocks listed in tornado.lift.allowed_blocks are scooped up; tile entities/containers are ignored to avoid loss of stored items.
Tornadoes follow surface height but can still reshape terrain; adjust lift power and allowed blocks if you want gentler storms.
