WeatherUtils
by nxghtCry0
WeatherUtils is a Fabric HUD and command mod that tracks the current weather, its time remaining and the time elapsed since it started.
What it does
A heads-up display shows the active weather type, the time until the next weather change and the time already elapsed, updated in real time. Countdowns cover rain, thunderstorms and the end of each. The display is a small panel that can be configured and that stays out of the way until it is needed, and players can toggle individual HUD elements through custom commands.
Weather Utils also offers commands that report the same weather statistics on demand, which suits players timing harvests, enchanted lightning strikes or redstone machines that depend on rain. The client predicts the timing on its own. Installing the mod on the server as well gives frame-perfect accuracy, because the data is then read directly from the world.
Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric. Players must install the mod, while the server may skip it. Files exist for 1.21.11 only, the latest being version 1 from 2026-04-12, released under the MIT License; the project is not open source.
Key features
Live weather HUD
A panel shows the current weather, the time until the next change and the time elapsed, with rain and thunderstorm countdowns.
Weather commands
Custom commands print the weather statistics and toggle individual HUD elements on demand.
Server-side accuracy
With the mod on the server, the displayed timing is read from the world, giving exact values instead of client predictions.
Configurable display
The HUD can be adjusted, and it stays minimal so it does not cover the screen during normal play.

How it compares
Weather Detect is client-side only, released under the MIT License and not open source, with files for 1.21 – 1.21.11 on Fabric. Improved Weather Command (IWC) is server-side only, open source under the MIT License and covers Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21 – 1.21.11, so it works through server commands rather than a client display. LocalTime is client-side only and open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with Fabric files for 1.21.1 – 26.2.
