Weather2 Compatibility Bridge
by donflymoor
Weather2 Compatibility Bridge makes machines, mobs and crops that check for rain recognize Weather2's own rainfall, not just vanilla weather.
What it does
Weather2 replaces vanilla weather with its own dynamic weather system. Many mods still read rain through the standard World isRaining and Entity isInRain checks, so their rain-dependent features can miss Weather2 storms. This bridge swaps the vanilla check for Weather2's rain check, so barrels, tanks, machines and mobs that depend on rain respond to the storms Weather2 generates. Rain-fed barrels and tanks fill during Weather2 rainfall, certain modded crops grow faster in it, and mob behavior shifts with the weather.
The mod is a lightweight utility intended to be dropped into a Forge 1.20.1 setup alongside Weather2 and its required dependency, Weather Storms & Tornadoes. It is published under the Apache License 2.0, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Because it only changes how rain is detected, it adds little overhead and needs no configuration to install. Only the client needs it: either side can run it, and neither needs it, so it can be added to a server, a client or both.
