Localized Weather

A Fabric mod that replaces Minecraft's global weather system with per-zone localized weather. Rain, snow, and thunderstorms happen independently across the world, with smooth transitions at zone boundaries and Minecraft-style storm clouds.

Features

• Localized weather zones — 256×256 block zones each have their own weather state
• Biome-aware rules — deserts stay dry, snowy biomes get snow, etc.
• Smooth transitions — rain/fog/sky color blend seamlessly across zone boundaries
• Storm clouds — blocky, Minecraft-style 3D cloud layers appear over storm zones, visible from a distance
• Directional darkening — sky, fog, and clouds darken toward approaching storms
• Better Clouds compatible — works alongside the Better Clouds mod

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21.9+
• Fabric Loader 0.19.2+
• Fabric API

Optional Dependencies

• Better Clouds — enhanced cloud visuals that integrate with localized weather
• YACL — config library (required by Better Clouds)
• Mod Menu — in-game mod configuration

Installation

1. Install Fabric Loader and Fabric API
2. Drop the mod jar into your mods folder
3. Launch the game

How It Works

Weather happens automatically — no commands needed. Each 256×256 block zone rolls its own weather independently:

• Clear skies last 10 minutes to 2.5 hours before a chance of weather
• Rain and storms last 10–20 minutes before clearing
• Biome rules kick in automatically — deserts stay dry, cold biomes get snow instead of rain
• Transitions blend smoothly over 20 seconds at zone boundaries
• Storm clouds appear as blocky 3D cloud layers over rainy/stormy zones, visible from far away

Just install and play — the weather will do its thing.
