Random Weather

True Randomness: Unlike other mods that rely on fixed timers, this system ensures you never know whether it will rain, storm, or clear up. It brings a dynamic and unpredictable atmosphere to your world.

Status: The mod is stable but currently in beta. We invite everyone to test it and share your feedback!

Version 1.0.6 Update: Please monitor compatibility with the Serene Seasons mod and report any issues.

Version 1.1.9: changes maximum weather duration from 4 hours to 8 hours, providing a better balance for dynamic gameplay. Because daytime hours are 10 minutes long and nighttime hours are another 10 minutes long, droughts could only last a few days/nights, which didn't reflect reality. Please keep in mind that weather can now last for a very long time. If you experience prolonged conditions, don't panic—it's not a bug, but a feature of the new pressure system (high/low pressure.

Version 1.2.2: Change The minimum weather duration is now set to 1 minute, Removed the weather randomization function upon re-entering the world, as it conflicted with the background timer. Weather states now maintain full continuity across game sessions. Important Note on Sleeping: Sleeping in a bed will still trigger a weather randomization (similar to the old world-join behavior). However, this is an intentional design choice to prevent the weather from always unfairly resetting to clear skies every time you wake up.

Thanks to this, you will experience everything from short, scattered showers and storms, to moderate-duration weather, and even long-lasting, continuous atmospheric fronts. Sunny, dry days are also common, representing periods of high pressure.

Important Notes

World Settings: Ensure that cheats are enabled in your world settings for the mod to function correctly.

OptiFine: If you use OptiFine, ensure that "Weather" is set to ON in your video settings; otherwise, weather effects may not be visible.

Mechanism: This mod manages weather patterns by executing commands.

Sleep Mechanic: Sleeping in a bed will reset the current weather, as per standard Minecraft behavior. If you wish to keep the current weather cycle, avoid sleeping, or embrace the sunny morning!

Recommended Setup

To achieve the most immersive survival experience, I recommend the following:

Serene Seasons Duration: Set to 28 days per season. This provides a perfect balance between seasonal climates and the dynamic, unpredictable weather changes provided by this mod.

Recommended Add-on: I highly recommend installing Snow Real Magic. Combined, these mods transform your world into a living, breathing ecosystem where no two seasons — or two years — are ever the same.

Resetting Weather

By default, sleeping resets the weather. If you wish to prevent this, I recommend using Weather2, as its configuration allows you to disable weather resets during sleep.
