Rafael's Cycle Devices
by RaFaEL0
Rafael's Cycle Devices is a Fabric adventure mod that gives players two handheld devices for changing weather and time of day.
What it does
The mod adds two tools for players to craft. Holding one and right-clicking activates it, which shifts the weather or moves the time between day and night. Each device has a cooldown, so it cannot be used again straight away, which limits how often it can be used.
Use cases include summoning dramatic weather for an adventure, starting a journey in bright early morning, or enjoying starlit skies and moonlight during a build. The mod is aimed at explorers, builders and survival players who want more control over their surroundings. Its controls are simple to learn, and the interface is offered in English, Azerbaijani and Italian.
The mod is published for Fabric only, for game versions 1.21 – 1.21.4, and is released under the MIT License, so it is open source. The client needs it, while the server may run it as well, so players can use the devices in single-player worlds and on servers alike.
Key features
Weather Cycle Device
Right-clicking this device changes the weather, letting players create rain, storms or clear skies on demand.
Time Cycle Device
A second device moves the time of day, so players can skip toward dawn or night from the held item.
Cooldown between uses
Both devices pause for a set time after each activation, which prevents rapid repeated use.
Translated interface
Menus and messages are available in English, Azerbaijani and Italian.

Use cases
Who it’s for: The mod suits adventure players, builders and survival players who want direct control over weather and time in their worlds. Servers that want players to manage their own environment can run it alongside the client-side install.
How it compares
Weather Shower is a Fabric mod for 1.21.5 with a client-side only environment and the MIT License, so only the client needs it. RealTimeWorld is also MIT-licensed and open source for 1.21.5, but it runs on both client and server. Rafael's Cycle Devices covers 1.21 – 1.21.4 and needs only the client, with the server optional.
