Fancy Weather
by Chaotic Loom
Fancy Weather changes how rain, storms and other weather behave in vanilla worlds, and each change can be switched off on its own.
What it does
The mod reworks the vanilla weather system and fixes several of its bugs. It also introduces custom weather events, which the author says are planned for a later release. Campfire extinguishing is taken over from the older Rain mod, so rain puts out campfires as it did before. Sandstorms and rain that skips sleep can each be disabled, along with any custom items the mod adds. Every feature is a separate option, so a player or server owner can keep the parts they want and turn off the rest. Turning everything off leaves the mod with no effect. The mod works on Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, and Fabric API and MidnightLib are required, with Fabric API needed on the Fabric and Quilt builds.

Use cases
Keeping only chosen weather changes
A server owner who likes the rain changes but dislikes sandstorms can leave the first on and disable the second.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners who want some vanilla weather changes and not others. Each feature can be turned off, so the mod can be reduced to a small set of changes.
