BetterWeather: Renewed
by xyhaunter
BetterWeather: Renewed changes how rain, snow and clouds look and sound in Minecraft 1.12.2 on Forge.
What it does
Clouds are drawn as taller, fluffier volumes with better shading, and rain and snow move together with the clouds inside local weather fronts. Rain and snow are also rendered out to larger distances, with level-of-detail handling, and the rain effect gains extra visuals and sounds. The mod lets server owners define weather settings per dimension, including dimensions from other mods. It needs client and server, and the code is open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.12.2 only.
Key features
Volumetric clouds
Clouds stand 32 to 64 blocks tall and are drawn with softer shading for a fuller look.
Local weather fronts
Rain and snow travel with the clouds that produce them, so weather seems to move across the sky.
Per-dimension weather settings
Server owners can set weather behavior for each dimension, including modded ones.
