Rainworks

🌧️ Rainworks 1.1

Huge thanks to everyone who gave feedback! This update is built around it. 💙

☣️ New: Acid Rain

• 🟢 Each rainfall has a 15% chance to turn into acid rain, with dark green rain.
• 🪵 Unprotected wood rots 6x faster, and wax starts to fail sooner.
• 🧱 Exposed cobblestone, bricks and concrete dissolve. Stone turns into cobblestone, concrete into powder.
• 💔 Players, mobs and animals in the open take damage. Players are also poisoned. Get under a roof!
• 🔔 You get a warning message when acid rain starts.

⚙️ New: Config options

config/rainworks-common.toml:

• 🪵 rot.disableRot: turn wood rotting off completely (default: false).
• 🎲 acidRain.chancePercent: chance of acid rain, 0 disables it (default: 15).
• ⚡ acidRain.rotSpeedMultiplier, poisonPlayers, damagePlayers, damageAmount, damageMobs, dissolveBlocks, dissolveChancePercent: fine-tune how destructive it is.
• 🎨 In-game config: new “Wax shine on blocks” toggle that hides the wax visuals, so your builds keep their original look. The wax still protects them.

🏠 Single player: edit the .toml in your own config folder.
🖥️ Server: only the server’s .toml counts. The server owner decides, and players’ local files are ignored.

🪟 Improved: Rain on glass

• 🎨 Brand new pixel-art drops that match the vanilla style, in water blue.
• 💧 Small drops with long, thin, slightly winding trails.
• ✨ Much cleaner window overlay, with mostly clear glass.

💦 Improved: Puddles & mud

• 🌊 Puddles are no longer toxic green. They use the biome’s water color, just slightly cloudier than clean water.
• 🪣 Dirty water items and fluid got the same look.
• 🟤 Soaked soil now turns into a proper wet mud texture instead of plain dirt.

🔊 Improved: Rain sounds

• 🎧 Rain sounds no longer stack into a loud mess, and no longer drop out for seconds.
• 🌦️ It still layers naturally, like real rain.

📝 Notes

• 🖥️ Pencils, rot and acid rain need the mod on the server too. Without it, acid rain never happens.
• 🐄 Animals in the open can be hurt by acid rain, so shelter your livestock, or set damageMobs = false.
