Changes from Diwaly's Volcano Plugin

    • Realistic Eruption Column: When "vulcanian" eruption or "plinian" eruption is triggered, Typhon Plugin triggers Pyroclastic flows and ash clouds.
    • Realistic Environment: Typhon Plugin will try to mimic real-life volcano behavior as much as possible. such as, Volcanic gases.
