High Voltage
High Voltage extends Minecraft's weather system with biome-specific precipitation, fog, lightning and storm effects, defined through data packs.
What it does
Weather in High Voltage is set per biome. A snowy biome can produce freezing blizzards, a swamp can fill with dense fog, and a forest storm can bring more lightning. Each biome profile sets its own precipitation, visuals, atmosphere and gameplay effects, so regions feel distinct while the vanilla rain and snow cycle stays recognizable.
Profiles are applied across the world once the mod is present, so no manual placement is needed. Pack makers can write their own profiles with the data-driven weather framework, and presets plus further content can be added through data packs. The goal is a fuller weather overhaul that still follows vanilla gameplay, not a replacement with tornadoes or complicated simulations.
High Voltage runs on Forge only, and the files cover 1.19.2 – 1.19.4. The mod is open source under the MIT License, and public source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are linked.
Key features
Biome weather profiles
Each biome gets its own precipitation, fog, lightning and atmosphere, defined as data that can be edited.
Custom precipitation
Precipitation uses custom textures and colors, with variable fall speeds and landing particles and sounds.
Dense blizzards and coastal mist
Snowy regions can turn into freezing blizzards, while coastal areas can be covered in a thin mist.
Data-driven presets
Weather presets are defined in data packs, so new weather behavior can be added without changing code.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want distinct regional weather and server owners who need a server-side weather setup. Pack makers who build data-driven content can also use the framework.
How it compares
Raindance supports Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.19 – 1.21.11 and is open source under the MIT License. It works on either side, and neither needs it. High Voltage is Forge only, covers 1.19.2 – 1.19.4 and needs the server to run it, while the client may skip it. Fog Looks Good Now is client-side only, open source under CC0 1.0 Universal, and covers 1.18.2 – 1.19.2. BetterWeather is also Forge and runs on client and server, released under All rights reserved, for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6.
