Item Rain
by Dazti
Item Rain lets a server operator make chosen items fall from the sky onto players through a single command.
What it does
A command named ir starts a rain of items. The first argument sets which items fall, either one named item or a fully random selection of item types. Extra options set the speed of the falling items, the duration of the shower in seconds, the sideways spread in blocks around the target, the starting elevation in blocks above the target, and a delay in seconds before the shower begins. Only the item name is required for a quick rain; the other parameters are optional.
The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. Its one dependency is Fabric API, which must be present on the server. Item Rain is published for Fabric only, with a single build for 1.21.11, and is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which is not open source.
Key features
Named or random items
A rain can drop one chosen item type or completely randomized item types picked from the item registry.
Adjustable fall and spread
Fall speed, scatter radius and spawn height above the target can each be set when the rain starts.
Timed rain with countdown
A countdown in seconds runs before the rain starts, and a duration in seconds sets how long it lasts.
Instant stop
Active rain effects can be cleared immediately with a command when the event gets out of hand.

Use cases
Server events
Operators can stage a short item shower during a community event, with a countdown to warn players.
Minigame rounds
A minigame can start a rain of a specific item as a reward or hazard, using the timing parameters to fit the round.
Who it’s for: Server owners and operators who want timed item drops during events or minigames. Players need no installation.
How it compares
Polluted Rain is also server-side only and open source under the Apache License 2.0, but it targets 1.21 – 1.21.8, while Item Rain is built for 1.21.11. TNT Storm Every Minute is a client and server mod for 1.21.6 – 1.21.11 that is not open source, so every player must install it, unlike Item Rain.

This mod introduces the /ir command, which controls all the item rain functionality. First, you must specify who the items will rain on. The command will not work if this parameter is missing.
