cycles of rain
by PhthaloLynx
With cycles of rain, rain stops being harmless weather and becomes a hazard on a fixed schedule that the server owner sets.
What it does
The mod changes how rain behaves: it can arrive in customisable cycles, with a set frequency and duration, and while it falls it can deal a configurable amount of damage to players. Because the timing is set by the configuration rather than left to chance, a player can plan around the weather instead of being caught out by it. The effect is aimed at servers that want rain to be a dangerous, predictable event.
The mod is server-side only, so players join a server that runs it without installing anything. It is built for NeoForge, with files for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 and 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest release, published on 2026-01-16. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Its author, PhthaloLynx, lists it under the Cursed category.
Rainworld-style play is one of the use cases the author has in mind, and the mod is aimed at communities that build their own rain rules on top of vanilla weather. Snapshot builds are not published for it.
