Weather Gate guide for FTB Skies 2 1.0.1 to 1.22.0

Weather Gate is part of this pack's mod list. The pack ships version 2.0.0, using the NeoForge build for Minecraft 1.21.1 (weathergate-neo-2.0.0+mc1.21.1.jar).^[1]

It was already in the pack by version 1.22.0, so if you're on 1.22.0 or later you have it. I can't confirm exactly which earlier version first added it.^[1]

Unverified I couldn't confirm what Weather Gate does in gameplay, how to craft or use its items, or which configs the pack changes, so I'm not guessing. There is also no confirmed information about where it fits in the pack's progression, whether it is on the ATM Star path, or whether any quests involve it.

Weather Gate is a small mod in this pack. Its items are made with ordinary shaped crafting recipes, and the recipe blocks below show the exact in-pack versions. Here is the order I'd make them in.^[2]

Start with Sun In A Box

Begin with Sun In A Box. It is the one item here whose effect the sources confirm: its tooltip says it makes the Sun Light value always noon, and it is marked Client Only.^[3]

Sun In A Box is a shaped crafting recipe in this pack.

Next, the Snow Catcher

After that, craft the Snow Catcher. It also has a shaped crafting recipe in this pack.^[2]

Finally, the Teriann Controller

Last is the Teriann Controller, which the pack's recipe list calls the Teriann Controller. Its recipe is shaped crafting too.^[2]

Weather Gate is a small mod in this pack, and the sources I have only explain a little of how it works. I can't confirm any machines, multiblocks, power use, fluid handling or automation for it, so I'm leaving those out rather than guessing.^[2][3]

Sun In A Box

The Sun In A Box is the one item whose behavior is documented. Its tooltip says it makes the Sun Light value always noon, and that this is client only. In practice that means it changes what you see on your own client, not the world itself.^[3]

Snow Catcher and Teriann Controller

The pack also has recipes for the Snow Catcher and the Teriann Controller. Both are ordinary shaped crafting recipes, shown below.^[2]

Unverified The sources don't say what the Snow Catcher or the Teriann Controller actually do once crafted, how you use them, or whether they need power, fluids or any setup. The pack has no config files for this mod, so there are no pack-specific settings to point you to.

Weather Gate doesn't have a tier ladder in this pack. The recipe data shows only separate items: Snow Catcher, Sun In A Box and Teriann Controller. Each one is a shaped crafting recipe, and none of them uses another Weather Gate item as an ingredient. So you can make any of them in whatever order you like.^[2]

The crafts

Here are the exact in-pack recipes. The Snow Catcher comes first.^[2]

What this means for your run

All of these recipes are listed as mod recipes, and their ingredients are plain Minecraft items and tags, so you can start on any of them as soon as you have the materials.^[2]

Unverified The sources here show no quests involving Weather Gate, so the pack's quest book gives no guided progression for it.
