Rain Particles

Falls at an angle, blown by wind.

During stormy weather the wind is stronger and the rain looks more dense.

Snow Particles

Rotate slowly as they fall. Not strongly affected by wind, retaining the serene quality of Vanilla's snow whlie being less visually cluttered. Has a heavy variant during storms just like rain.

Sandstorms

Dust and shrubs blow through deserts and other dry biomes.

Dust matches the color of the block below, allowing for a range of biomes to be supported without additional configuration, including ones added by other mods.

Fog

Appears in biomes tagged as #c:is_spooky / #c:is_wet. This is configurable.

Sometimes fog will appear after rain. This too is configurable.

Water Ripples

Appears when rain falls onto water. Will match the resolution of your resource pack. (configurable)

Water Streaks

Appears when rain hits a wall made of a hard material. (can be configured to appear on any block)
