BetterWeather
The BetterWeather mod fundamentally transforms the weather system in Minecraft version b.1.7.3, making atmospheric phenomena more realistic and visually appealing.
Key Features
Volumetric Clouds - clouds now range from 32 to 64 blocks in height, appearing fluffy and three-dimensional with enhanced shading, creating a more natural sky space.
Local Weather - precipitation (rain and snow) has become localized and moves along with clouds within rain fronts, making weather changes more dynamic and realistic.
Improved Sound Effects - rain sounds have been reworked to create more atmospheric and authentic audio accompaniment during precipitation.
Enhanced Precipitation Visualization - the level of detail (LOD) system allows rain and snow to be displayed at greater distances without performance loss.
Rain Drop Circles - an additional visual effect that appears when raindrops fall on surfaces, adding realism during rainfall.
Dimension Settings - the ability to define individual weather settings for each dimension, including dimensions from other mods.
