Control The Weather
by Classic-
Control The Weather lets players set rain and thunder with three keybinds, so a storm can be cleared or started on demand.
What it does
Control The Weather gives players direct control over the sky. Three keybinds switch the weather, for example turning rain off to clear the sky or turning it into a thunderstorm. The mod is also useful for testing other mods that depend on weather. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with 1.0.0 as the latest file, under All rights reserved.

What the author says
This allows players to control when they want it to rain or thunder. For example if its raining you can simply make it clear out or turn it into a thunder storm. This also allows for weather based testing for other mods.
