Weather Vane

Know when the storm is coming.

What it does

• Everyone in the Overworld gets a warning 2 minutes before rain or a thunderstorm.
• Get a warning when thunder is about to join the rain (watch for charged creepers!).
• Right-click a lightning rod with an empty hand for a forecast, like "Now: clear skies. A thunderstorm starts in about 12 minutes."
• Or type /forecast.

Server-side

Only the server needs it. Works in singleplayer too.
