Weather Addons

Weather Addons

Weather Addons is a overhaul of Minecraft's weather. Vanilla's flat 2D rain is gone — every drop, flake and splash is a real volumetric particle in the world.

🌧️ Rain

• Volumetric 3D raindrops that fall through the world and land exactly where you see them
• 3D splash particles bursting at the impact point, on ground and water
• Raindrops blur on your screen and trickle down like on a camera lens

❄️ Snow

• 3D snowflakes that spin and sway as they fall
• Flakes gently melt on the ground and splash when landing on water
• Frost builds up on your screen while snow falls on you

🌨️ Blizzard (thunderstorm in a snowy biome)

• Dense, wind-blown snow with drifting wind direction
• Heavily reduced visibility with a white haze that fades in and out smoothly
• Camera shivering from the cold and movement slowdown in the open
• Freezing (powder snow style) — unless you wear at least one piece of armor

🔥 Heatwave (thunderstorm in a hot, dry biome)

• Warm shimmering screen edges
• Sweat dripping down your screen
• Movement slowdown under the open sky
• Hunger drains ~2x faster — no potion effect icon (singleplayer)

⚡ Performance

Built for zero FPS impact: distance-based LOD particles, a hard particle budget shared by all weather types, physics only near the camera, cached lighting and heightmap lookups.

📌 Notes

• Blizzard and heatwave trigger with /weather thunder in the matching biome
