Yun's Weather
by YunHerry
Yun's Weather is a Forge and NeoForge visual mod for 1.20.1 that reworks rain, clouds, water and seagrass rendering on the client.
What it does
The mod rewrites the original rain system so precipitation looks closer to real weather, and adds a global wind influence that moves steam, particles and other weather effects together. Rain that strikes walls produces splash particles, and clouds are rendered with better transparency and a lighter look.
Water receives extra effects: droplets falling from pointed dripstone into water create ripples, tall seagrass near the surface can generate surface ripples, and seagrass underwater occasionally releases bubbles. Magma blocks under water produce wind-affected steam, drawn only in loaded chunks. The author notes that the mod modifies core rendering, so compatibility issues with other rendering mods are possible.
Yun's Weather is client-side only, so servers do not need it and players can join without installing it. It is open source under the MIT License, and the public source code and issue tracker are linked from the project. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1, with the latest Forge file 2.1.0-betaf1 dated 2026-03-10 and the latest NeoForge file 2.0.9-betaf dated 2025-07-05, both in the beta channel.
Key features
Global wind influence
Wind affects steam and environment particles across the world, so weather effects drift in a shared direction.
Dynamic rain splashes
Rain hitting walls spawns splash particles for a more realistic surface reaction.
Refined clouds
Cloud rendering is redone with improved transparency and a lighter appearance.
Water ripples from dripstone and seagrass
Dripping water from pointed dripstone and surface-level seagrass makes ripples on the water.

How it compares
Pretty Rain is also a client-side Forge and NeoForge mod under the MIT License and is open source, with files for 1.18.2 – 1.21.6, so it covers more game versions than Yun's Weather. The Sound of Rain is client-side on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20 – 1.20.4 and is not open source. UnderWater Pressure is a server-side Forge mod for 1.20.1 under the MIT License, so it runs on the server rather than the client.
