Weather Detect
by tommis
Weather Detect is a Fabric client-side mod that shows a Minecraft-style toast notification when the weather in the world changes.
What it does
When rain starts, a toast notification appears in the top-right corner of the screen. Thunderstorms and returns to clear weather trigger their own notices, so a player can follow the weather state without watching the sky. The notifications are separate for each change, and each one can be turned on or off from the mod's menu.
The mod is opened with the O key by default, which brings up the Weather Detect menu for choosing which weather notifications appear. The mod changes nothing on the server side. Only the client needs it, and players join servers without installing it. It requires Fabric API, and it is released under the MIT License. The code is not open source. Builds for Minecraft 1.21.x are split across two jar files, and the latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.21.11.
Key features
Rain start notice
A toast appears when rain begins, showing the change in weather in the top-right corner of the screen.
Thunderstorm notice
A separate toast announces when a thunderstorm starts, so the stronger weather is noticed even while the player is busy.
Clear weather notice
A notification is shown when the weather returns to clear, closing out the earlier rain or storm notices.
Toggle per weather state
Each weather state can be enabled or disabled in the Weather Detect menu, so only the wanted notices appear.
Multi-language text
Notification text supports several languages, so the toasts can follow the language set in the game.
