Nether Weather
Nether Weather brings three weather types to the Nether, so lavafalls, storms and heatblasts can occur in the dimension.
What it does
Weather events that correspond to Overworld weather are added to the Nether, giving the dimension a sense of place. Lavafalls set entities on fire, storms hurt with strong winds, and heatblasts make nearby blocks hot enough to affect the surroundings. The events replace the storms of the Nether Wastes, so the biome has its own weather behavior.
The weather events have a noticeable effect on gameplay, which makes the Nether more exciting and dangerous. They also add atmosphere through sounds and particles. The mod was initially part of the Overskip data pack and has since been released as a standalone mod.
Installation is needed on the server, while clients may leave it out. Nether Weather is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 17 release versions, 1.20 – 1.21.11, and a data pack build is also available. The license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, and the mod is not open source.
Key features
Lavafall events
Lavafalls appear in the Nether and set entities on fire, changing how players move through the dimension.
Storm events
Storms in the Nether hurt with strong winds and replace the storms previously found in the Nether Wastes.
Heatblast events
Heatblasts make almost any block hot, turning it into a Magma Block, and add a hazard to terrain.
Sounds and particles
Each weather type comes with sounds and particles, adding atmosphere to the dimension.

How it compares
Simply Weather is a Fabric-only mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, with client and server environment and All rights reserved licensing, so it is not open source. Fancy Weather runs on Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 under the MIT License, and is open source. Nether Weather differs by adding weather events specifically to the Nether, and it is server required with client optional.
