Weather Addons

Weather Addons is a client-side 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

Client-side only — works on any server, no server installation needed
