I was thinking about weather in minecraft recently, and i stumbled upon a original idea: Wind. This would push mobs and players around. There would be different kinds of wind, basically wind strength. No wind would occur in caves or any closed off areas. You wouldn't want to be blown around into a lava filled cave would you? So here's wind strength and it's areas:
Weak wind: This would blow you around barely at all. It would occur anywhere apart from closed off areas.
Normal wind: Blows you around a bit. Occurs during thunderstorms and at the top of mountains.
Strong wind: Blows you around quickly and pushes you around 8 blocks. Occurs in thunderstorms and at the top of mountains.
Extreme wind: This will be rare. It will blow you around alot. Blows you 12 blocks away. Only occurs in thunderstorms, at the top of mountains and at very high places.
Players will creative mode won't be affected by wind, that would be just annoying. Also, wind would have it's own sound depending on how strong it is.
To all of you people who think Notch is still working on the game, he stopped working on Minecraft in late 2011. Get your facts straight and stop spamming his twitter about Minecraft updates.
It's a nice idea but it would be very annoying to players.
Some wind sound effects when you're on mountains and during weather would be nice though. Like in the Matmos mod.
I do not like this idea, the only cool idea I've ever come up with regarding wind, was it affecting Archery, so how you shoot the arrow, the arrow entity would get pushed around slightly. I thought about that back in alpha o.o Maybe the only other thing would be tall grass waving like in the shaders mod? Also, if you have ever been inside a cave, there is actually quite a bit of a draft(airflow, at least in the caves I've been inside). Of course, In player made areas like houses wind would be unnecessary.

Any thoughts on this?
