TFC Weather
by Verph
With TFC Weather, TerraFirmaCraft worlds gain snowstorms and sandstorms that depend on the local temperature and rainfall, built on the Weather2 system.
What it does
Snowstorms spawn where the current temperature is below -2°C, and sandstorms spawn where rainfall is below 100. The temperature and rainfall thresholds that trigger each storm type can be configured, so a server owner can shift where the storms appear. Weather types are not tied to rain, so a storm in this mod does not always bring precipitation.
The mod requires CoroUtil, TerraFirmaCraft and Weather Storms & Tornadoes, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Forge and NeoForge, for the 1.20.1 build, and its files cover 1.18.2, 1.20.1. The code is released under the BSD 2-Clause License and is not open source. TFC Improved Badlands is optional and pairs well with this mod, as does TFC Barrens; both add terrain that the weather can act on.
Key features
Temperature-based snowstorms
Snowstorms trigger when the current temperature drops below -2°C, and the threshold is set in the config.
Rainfall-based sandstorms
Sandstorms trigger where rainfall falls below 100, with the upper and lower rainfall limits adjustable.
Sand dunes and drier worlds
Lower rainfall levels add sand dunes and a drier world, which allows near-complete desertification.
Sparse water
Very low rainfall leaves a world nearly devoid of life, with only rare patches of water.

Use cases
Desert-heavy worlds
Servers that want arid landscapes can lower rainfall so sandstorms and dunes dominate the map.
Cold biomes with storms
Players exploring cold areas get snowstorms whose timing follows the temperature, not a fixed schedule.
Who it’s for: Players who run TerraFirmaCraft modpacks with Weather2 and server owners who want weather tied to climate settings.

This mod adds some compatibility between TerraFirmaCraft and Weather2. For example, snowstorms can now spawn when the current temperature is at or below -2°C, and sandstorms can spawn when rainfall is at or below 100. This means the type of weather won't always be "rain". The upper and lower limit rainfall for where…
