About
Tornado7 replaces ordinary vanilla weather with a dynamic atmosphere in which clouds form and storms develop according to local conditions, giving players a storm-chasing experience built around reading the sky and pursuing severe weather. Its skies include visually detailed supercells, more than twenty changing tornado shapes from ropes and cones to wedges and multi-vortex funnels, hurricanes with rain bands and calm eyes, and ten cloud types that can signal an approaching front; other hazards include hail, lightning, dense rain, fog, dust devils, wildfires and fire tornadoes. Players can choose chaotic Arcade weather, a simplified shared atmosphere, or Excessive Realism, where regional temperature, moisture, wind and stability shape storm timing and type, and a weather sounding reports conditions such as CAPE, shear and helicity. Storm chasing equipment includes a laptop with reflectivity, velocity and correlation radar views, the close-range DOW6 radar truck, weather balloons, dropsondes, thermometers, hygrometers, TOTO and VORTEX2 probes, an FPV drone, a warning radio and a repair station; the Atmosphere Sandbox lets players tune a miniature weather system and trigger storms. Eleven craftable intercept vehicles include TIV1, TIV2, Titus, Titan, Dominator 1, 2 and 3, Scout, Tornado Wrangler, Tornado Attack and the DOW6, with weighty driving, wind damage and deployable defenses; players can also build their own qualifying vehicles, whose weight, armor, spikes and hydraulics depend on their construction. The flyable WC-130J hurricane hunter has an interactive cockpit, autopilot and cargo bay, can drop sondes, and responds to storm conditions with hail dents, lightning strikes and turbulence while flying through a hurricane's eyewall into its calm eye. Beyond storm chasing, players can launch the multistage RSP rocket, build ships with the Orion nuclear-pulse, Daedalus fusion or warp-drive engines, perform spacewalks, and travel through a solar system of the Sun and eight planets on orbits, with landings available on the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Venus, Europa and Titan. A cloud companion teaches the mod through 42 voiced lessons covering activities from driving and radar use to flying and reaching orbit.

No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Starts other programs
- It can start another program on your computer, for example to open a link in your browser. Only in its files for NeoForge 1.21.1.
- Connects to the internet
- It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. Only in its files for NeoForge 1.21.1. See Privacy
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.3 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. All 3 are for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
- Starts other programsPurpose not known.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.Folders outside the game, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of all 3 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.
AI
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and sounds and found none.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.No AI content or AI features declared.
