Cloudy
by Supremekirb
Cloudy changes the sky during the weather that comes between rain and thunderstorms, turning it grey and pale without touching gameplay.
What it does
Clear weather, partly cloudy weather and overcast weather each get a sky with clouds, and the sky turns grey as cloud cover grows. The mod is a small addition to Minecraft's weather that adds a little variance without changing how the game plays. Between rain and thunderstorms, the sky moves through these stages at unpredictable points, anywhere from half a day to two days apart.
Rain near the player tends to become cloudier first, so the transition into rain looks gradual. During the non-rainy stages the sun and moon become pale, and although sunlight is reduced the internal light levels of the world change. Precipitation keeps its usual schedule, while everything else in the world matches vanilla behavior. Cloudy runs on the client and the server, and it requires Fabric API. It is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is published for Fabric for 26.1.2 only.
Key features
Partly cloudy weather
A partly cloudy stage adds clouds to the sky between clear weather and overcast weather.
Overcast weather
The overcast stage turns the sky grey, and the sun and moon look paler during it.
Random weather shifts
Changes between non-rainy stages happen at random intervals from half a day to two days.
Rain stays on schedule
Rain and thunderstorms still appear at their usual times, and the mod does not alter them.

How it compares
Darker Sky is client-side only, open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, and covers 26.1 – 26.3 with Fabric. Hide Sun/Moon is also Fabric only, but it is for 26.2 alone, is client-side only and is not open source. Cloudy differs from both by running on client and server and being under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with a single file for 26.1.2.
