Trident Weathering
by Goulden
Trident Weathering lets players change the weather by throwing or holding a trident toward the sky, with rain, thunderstorms and clear skies each triggered by a different action.
What it does
Holding use with a trident aimed almost straight up summons rain. Visual rain cues gradually intensify over a few seconds until real rain starts, which the mod presents as a ritual. Throwing a trident with the Channeling enchantment toward the sky brings lightning bolts that strike near the point the trident is pointing at. Once enough bolts have fallen, the weather changes to a full thunderstorm; the number of bolts required and their probabilities can be adjusted in the configuration.
Placing a trident in an active conduit channels its power into the trident and gradually clears the weather, removing rain and storms. A chunk that stays loaded with the trident in the conduit will not see rain again. The mod works in single player and on multiplayer servers, and its environment is server-side only, so players join without installing it.
The mod is published for NeoForge only, with 2 release versions, 1.21.1 and 1.21.11. Its latest file is 1.1 for 1.21.11, released 2026-02-09. The code is not open source and the mod is licensed as All rights reserved, while public links to the source code and issue tracker exist.

Use cases
Weather rituals on a server
Players use the trident rituals to change the weather as part of their own gameplay.
Who it’s for: Server owners and players who want weather controlled through in-game actions rather than commands, on single player or multiplayer worlds.
How it compares
Improved Weather Command (IWC) is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and covers 1.21 – 1.21.11 for Fabric and NeoForge, so it works with commands rather than tridents. WeatherForecast is client-side only, uses the All rights reserved license and targets 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 across Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.
