Interior Rain Sound Fix
by MrPicklees
Interior Rain Sound Fix changes how rain is heard inside buildings, lowering its volume indoors and muffling it under trees.
What it does
Rain normally plays at the same volume indoors as outdoors, which can be loud in a shelter. With the mod installed, rain sound is reduced while the player stands inside a building, so the weather stays audible without dominating quiet interiors. Rain falling through tree cover is also muffled, so a forest canopy sounds different from open ground.
The mod is a client-side only addition: only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it. It requires Fabric API and Mod Menu, both of which must be installed alongside it on Fabric Loader. Files are published for 1.21.5 only, and the latest is 1.0.0-alpha, released on 2025-05-01 on the alpha channel. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Quieter rain indoors
Rain volume is lowered while the player is inside a building, so the sound does not compete with interior ambience.
Muffled rain under trees
Rain heard beneath a tree canopy is softened, giving forest areas a distinct weather sound.

The mod's settings can be opened from the Mod Menu list, where the installed Fabric mods are shown.

Use cases
Quiet builds and interiors
Players who spend long periods inside houses, castles or other enclosed builds can keep rain audible without it filling the room.
Forest exploration
Walking under dense trees during rain produces a muffled sound, which changes how a wooded area feels to move through.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want rain to sound more natural in enclosed spaces and under trees. Only the client needs the mod, so it can be added to a single-player world or a client without any server change.
How it compares
Realistic Rain Mod is also a client-side only Fabric mod under the MIT License and is open source, but its listed build is 1.21.8. Blokkusus is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server, with a file for 1.21.11. Cool Rain is not open source, is released under All rights reserved, and covers 1.16.5 – 26.3, with the client required and the server optional.
