Howdy folks, this is an extension of the previous Volcano Mod I made. I've just been developing over the Volcano and added more Natural Disasters. You may find Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Meteorites, Sinkholes and a new custom mob.
If you have any problems with the mod: read through the OP and see if you can solve it, if not you should post it on this topic or send me a PM.

Also, you may find news on my twitter, make sure to follow me to find out when new versions are out!

Installation Guides said:

Client:
*Backup your saves! Unless you want your world destroyed by natural disasters. Also, since the change between Natural Disasters from Volcano Mod, I got no idea if it's compatible with old worlds. I'm really sorry if it isn't :S
1. Uninstall any previous version by removing the previous zip file.
2. Install Risugami's Modloader and Flan's ModloaderMp CLIENT, then run Minecraft to create the mods folder.
3. Download the client mod file here!
4. Navigate to the mods(%appdata%/roaming/.minecraft/mods) folder and place the zip file inside.
5. Play!
6. This is fully optional, but since there is so many disasters then just a volcano now, check out the properties file to add limits. The properties file is found as NaturalDisasters.PROPERTIES int the config folder where you installed the server.

Server:
1. A: If you don't have any server, download the minecraft_server.jar and install it. If you have a server then do B.
1. B: Uninstall any(if any) previous versions by removing the previous zip file.
2. Install Flan's ModloaderMp SERVER, then run the server to create the mods folder.
3. Download the server mod file and put it in the mods folder(where you have the server installed).
4. Run the server and play!
5. This is fully optional: check out the properties file. The properties file is found as NaturalDisastersServer.PROPERTIES int the config folder where you installed the server.

Pictures:

Creating the spawner item, right click a block to create a disaster, right click in the middle of nowhere to change between the disasters!



Creating the Gravity Bender, this item will pick up blocks your right click, throw animals/mobs flying when hitting them and dispose the blocks you picked up when right click on mobs/animals or nothing. Experiement, it's fun!



Volcanoes:
TYPE A:
Type A is not available in Superflat worlds!
Ground perspective:

And here you can see the entire volcano. See that red dot? Thats where the picture over was taken, the volcanoes can get enormous!



TYPE B:
Type B volcanoes are available in Superflat and normal worlds.


Earthquakes:
The Earthquakes looks a lot like a ravine...

Meteorites:
Meteorites are big balls that falls from the sky, slowly falling apart in mid-air.

[Jokiboy]

Anyone know how to prevent entities from de-spawning(sorry for asking here )? Seems like this could be useful for someone

-Solved

[DjGyarados]

Wow , this looks great. I'm bookmarking.

I really hope you can make it look better soon
It'd also be cool if you could make them randomly generate around the world, without us having to place them.
