How to Make a Tornado in Minecraft

Last Updated: July 3, 2021

Tornado is not yet implemented in the official Minecraft, but many of the fans have already made various kinds of plug-ins that work like a natural disaster such as tornado. You can install the plug-in to make your Minecraft experience more realistic. Take note, however, that this only works for Windows users.

Getting Minecraft Forge

1
Download the Forge. Minecraft Forge is an add-on to your official game that assists with complicated plug-in codes. You can download Minecraft Forge here: www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php?topic=16195.0.
- As of now, Forge only supports Minecraft version 1.7.2.
- Minecraft Forge is completely safe as many Minecraft mod users support it.
2
Install the Forge. After downloading, install the Forge by simply clicking the installer.jar.
- You need to open the installer.jar as Administrator.
- You must have an up-to-date Java in your laptop or computer; otherwise, you will encounter errors.
- If your Java cannot be detected by the installer, choose the default program, browse to your C:\Program Files\Java\jre#\bin, and then choose java.exe.

Getting the Tornado

1
Get the Tornado mods. Now that you have installed the Forge, download the Tornado mods.
- Keep in mind that you must have version 1.7 to 1.7.4 of Minecraft for this mod to work.
2
Open the Minecraft folder. After downloading the Tornado mods, click the "Start" (for Windows 7) or right-click the lower left-hand side of your screen (for Windows 8) to open your Windows menu.
- Now choose "Run," and a small window will appear. Type this in the Open bar: %appdata%
- An Explorer window will pop up showing the list of folders and programs installed in your computer. Look for the .minecraft folder and then open it.
3
Paste the Tornado mods. After opening the .minecraft folder, find the folder named “mods” in the list. Open the “mods” folder and paste your Tornado mods there.
- If there isn’t any “mods” folder, you can make a new folder and name it “mods,” all small letters.
- You don't have to unzip the file.
- When you’re done, close all the folders and run your Minecraft like normal.

Using the Tornado Mod

Tornadoes occur naturally, and along with the mod, it gives that realistic feeling of leaves being blown by the wind, waves on water, and many others. The mod also includes water spouts and hurricanes! In order for you to detect a coming tornado, you need a Sensor and a Siren.

1
Make Tornado Sensor. A Tornado Sensor is used to detect a tornado. Craft it using your Crafting Table:
- In the first row from left to right, place Iron, Redstone, Iron.
- In the next row, place Redstone, Gold, Redstone.
- In the last row, place Iron, Redstone, Iron.
2
Craft a Tornado Siren. A Tornado Siren will warn you when a tornado manifests. To make a Tornado Siren, open your Crafting Table and then place these items:
- In the first row, from left to right, Iron, leave empty, Iron.
- In the next row, Redstone, Gold, Redstone.
- In the last row, Iron, leave empty, Iron.
