Daily Weather
by Garden Gals
Daily Weather lets a server owner decide when rain comes and goes, so each day's weather follows a schedule or a random roll instead of the game's default.
What it does
The mod gives a modpack or server developer control over the weather cycle. A day can start clear, rainy or stormy, chosen by the default weather event that the day begins with. Random rolls use a 60% chance of clear weather, 20% of rain and 10% of a storm, and the weather usually stays the same for the whole day, with a small chance of a change during the night.
A schedule can also set weather at fixed times of day, so mornings can be sunny and evenings rainy. The mod is server-side only, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. Bot's Lib is required and must be installed alongside it. Serene Seasons is optional and can be added for seasonal weather. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under a Creative Commons license that is not open source.
Key features
Scheduled weather
Weather can be set to change at specific times of day, so a server can keep consistent sunny mornings or rainy evenings.
Random daily weather
A weighted random roll decides each day's weather, with clear skies as the most likely outcome.
Control over duration
Random weather can be left to decide how long it lasts, or the server can set its length directly.
Nighttime changes
Weather normally holds through the day, with a small chance of changing during the night.

Use cases
Modpack pacing
A modpack developer can tie weather to a daily schedule so that the sky changes predictably across play sessions.
Survival servers
Server owners can add unpredictable storms through random rolls without changing anything on the client side.
Who it’s for: The mod suits modpack developers and server owners who want to control the weather cycle on their own server. Players only need a server that runs it.
How it compares
Control The Weather is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that requires both the client and the server, and it is not open source under All rights reserved. Endless Day is a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 that also needs both sides and is not open source. Raindance is open source under the MIT License and works on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with an optional environment that lets either side run it alone.
