Sandstorms

under review

Sandstorm weather cycles in hot biomes like desert, and mesa. A common sandstorm would darken the skies and lower visibility like a rainstorm, but tint everything a light brown hue. A severe sandstorm would darken the skies further like a thunderstorm,and reduce visibility more thn a common sandstorm would. It would also tint everything with a dark brown hue, and have lightning. sand would accumulate and fall similar to a snowstorm in both storms, with severe storms causing more sand accumulation than common sand storms.

  Sounds great! One consideration for Mojang is the possibility of farming sand if the storms were to common.

  maybe if the player doesn't have armor on it will deal a slight amount of damage?

  Wirklich gute Idee es würde die Wüsten interessanter machen und man könnte auch dadurch Sandschichten hinzufügen wie im Schneebiom die Schneeschichten

  Instead of just lightning, the sandstorm should mess with exposed redstone systems because they're electrostaticly charged, causing them to fluctuate from on and off randomly

  I like the idea of sandstorms slowing the player's movement and reducing range of visibility, but I don't think it should do any damage. That seems like it would get annoying real quick, even if the damage was low.

  Husks should spawn more frequently in the storm and/or get some form of buff from it. Maybe instead of slowing down the player it gives the Husks a speed boost. Don't know which one I prefer.

  On a final note, sandstorms should leave a layer of sand on all solid blocks like snow. This sand layer can work just like snow and digging it up with a shovel will create an item (like a sand pile) that can be used to craft a sand block. This would make cleaning up after a sandstorm worth the effort.

  Or you could leave it to make your desert base look cool.

  It should also slow down the player (and mobs, etc).

   

  Even better, it would have a blowing direction and then either slow the player if it walks against it, or make it faster if they go in the same direction.

   

  Similar to how flowing water also affects speed. Or how sandstorms work in Terraria.

  so you're saying the sand will fly around? So what if the sand fell on you and suffocated you but it'd have the same rarity of getting struck by lightning? I think that it'd be cool, personally. also, if the sand falls like snow, it should have different layers, like snow.
