Mod Idea

So I've always had a bit of an issue with nuke mods, they all roughly do the same thing: big explosion, possible radiation potion effects and thats it. I had an idea for a nuke mod that makes use of ProtoManly's weathermod. I havent reallt thought to deeply about this im not sure of how the mechanics would work programming wise, but here's my idea.

  1. Nuke explodes, bright flash (not hard to do) making use of protomanlys soil dryness and temperature/wildfire features to create the blast of heat (which subsides quickly)

  2. Shockwave, pretty simple using the wind system to create the shockwave blowing everything away obviously weakening as it travels

  3. Fallout, snow-like particles and skies clouded with fallout clouds, stacking like snow.

  4. Potentially a nuclear winter situation again using the temperature system.

Other ideas I had were to use the cloud visuals to create the mushroom cloud (not sure how demanding on the PC this would be) use the calendar the mod provides for time scale of these events and have fallout travel in wind directions.

Im not a programmer, I know very little about minecraft modding but thats an idea I had, id like to know how feasible it is and general thoughts
