Meteorolocracy
by wh0oo
Meteorolocracy lets players hold a server-wide vote to change the vanilla weather, with the outcome decided by a configurable majority.
What it does
A player starts a weather vote, and other players then have a limited time to cast their votes. If enough of the players needed to pass the vote agree, the weather changes. The vote can end early once every eligible player has voted, so it does not always run its full length.
The mod is configured by the server owner. Server owners can tune three values: the number of seconds a vote stays open, the fraction of players whose yes votes are needed to pass it, and the wait a player faces before opening another vote. Operators are not subject to the cooldown. Meteorolocracy runs on Fabric and is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. Files are published for 1.21.7, 1.21.8, 1.21.9 and 1.21.10, under the MIT License, and the source code is open source.

Configurable majority
The share of players needed to pass a vote is a setting, for example 0.53 for a 53 percent majority.
