by Chuncky

Weather Effects Backport brings the rain fog and weather visuals of a newer Minecraft release to Forge 1.20.1, with some additions of its own.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

Weather effects appear as raining, snowing and thunder storms, with rain fog that is darker than the default rain fog. The raining effect can be enabled or disabled through a weather effect command. The mod works alongside Embeddium and other mods that change how Minecraft renders things, and the author states that compatibility is not a concern. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The only build is 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, published on 2026-02-17 under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Backported rain fog

  2. Weather visuals

    Rain, snow and thunder storms each appear with their own visual effects, with darker rain fog than the default.

  3. Toggle command

What the author says

This mod backports the 1.21.6 raining effect to 1.20.1 with some additions! The weather effect appears when it is raining, snowing, and if a thunder storm shows up, the rain fog will be more darker than the normal rain fog
