Hi there,
I've been working on a high-effort, polished modpack for a few months, which includes this lovely mod.

I have completely overhauled the model for the weather deflector. The change is only aesthetic, but it's also not just done via a simple resourcepack. I had to use KubeJS to change the render type of the block to cutout and add the noOcclusion property to it, since that is not doable via .json files, at least in 1.18.2.

While this was originally done my modpack, since I'll also be changing the recipe for it a lot, I'd be happy and willing to share the assets, if they would be welcome to be incorporated into the actual mod!

Here is a little showcase.

I will also do the other blocks (forecast and siren), probably just copy-pasting this model and doing some small changes, but I just started with the weather deflector as it's probably the block most relevant to players heheh

Here's another short showcase showing how the block will be crafted in my modpack (and some other angles for the block too)

I also replaced the weather_item texture for an animated Tornado-in-a-Bottle
