WeatherForecast
WeatherForecast shows a small HUD overlay with the current weather and the estimated time until the next weather change.
What it does
The overlay reports whether the weather is clear, raining or thundering, and a color-coded text icon marks each type. A toggle key, H by default and rebindable in the Controls settings, shows or hides the overlay. A semi-transparent background panel keeps the text readable over busy scenery.
WeatherForecast is a client-side only mod: only the player's client needs it, and servers do not require any installation. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across seven release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, and is released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. The author notes that a world created before installing it may not show the weather correctly, so a new world is recommended.
Key features
Weather status overlay
A HUD panel displays the current in-game weather at all times while the overlay is shown.
Time until next change
The overlay estimates how long remains before the weather changes, based on the in-game clock.
Color-coded weather icons
Each weather type gets its own text icon and color, so the state can be read at a glance.
Rebindable visibility toggle
The H key switches the overlay on and off, and the binding can be changed in the Controls settings.

How it compares
Weather Detect is a Fabric-only, client-side only option for 1.21 – 1.21.11 under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Improved Weather Command (IWC) is server-side only for Fabric and NeoForge, open source under the MIT License, and covers 1.21 – 1.21.11, so it is a server tool rather than a HUD.
