Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR adds rare meteor-shower effects around connected players. A bounded correctness issue may allow 8 meteors instead of the intended maximum of 7, so the change is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to correct that upper bound.

- Around line 92-95: Update the spawn position calculation in MeteorShowerSystem
so the horizontal x/z offset has a maximum radial distance of HORIZONTAL_SPREAD
(60 blocks), rather than sampling both axes independently; sample a distance and
angle or reject out-of-radius offsets while preserving the existing vertical
offset behavior.

Addressed. Sampling x/z independently within [-60, 60] let the diagonal distance reach 60*sqrt(2) (~85 blocks), past what HORIZONTAL_SPREAD promises. Switched to sampling an angle + radius so every meteor lands within 60 blocks of the player, radius bias and all. |

Keep the meteor count within the configured maximum.
Random.nextInt(int min, int max) uses inclusive bounds. With MAX_METEORS + 1, meteorCount can be 8 instead of staying within the configured 3–7 range. Pass MAX_METEORS directly.

Fixes #97 - a 2012 "Dream"-tagged issue: Cervator brainstorming rare special sky effects (northern lights, meteor showers, eclipses) with a hook for creatures to react. Picked meteor shower as the most tractable of the three: no new geometric alignment logic (unlike an eclipse) and no animated-curtain shader (unlike an aurora) - both would be real rendering-pipeline work needing live visual verification not reliably available here.
Changes
MeteorShowerSystemrolls a low, fixed chance once perOnDuskEvent(at most once per night, matching the issue's explicit "rare, not constant" ask) and, if it fires, spawns 3-7CoreAssets:meteorShowerParticleEffectemitters positioned 40-80 blocks above and up to 60 blocks around each connected player's character - high enough to read as sky rather than "over your head" - using the existing entity-component particle system, not new rendering code.Lives in the engine rather than
CoreAssetssince it's a general sky/celestial event, referencing the particle prefab only by urn - the same "stealth dependency on CoreAssets" patternBlockEntitySystem's dust effect already uses (see its own//TODO: particle system stuff should be split out bettercomment).Companion PR with the prefab/texture/test: Terasology/CoreAssets#12.
Test plan
:engine:compileJavaclean.MeteorShowerSystemTest(2/2 pass, in the companion CoreAssets PR) exercises the real registered system instance against the real prefab and particle system -spawnShowerAroundispublicspecifically for that.CoreRenderingcompile failure (BackdropProvider.getMoonPhase()) blocking it entirely. Worth a manual look before merge.
