VisualSky
VisualSky is a client-side Fabric mod that lets you customize how the sky, time, and weather look on your own Minecraft client.

Weather Notes
The Rain/Snow mode forces precipitation visually.
Minecraft decides whether precipitation appears as rain or snow based on the biome. In snowy/cold biomes it appears as snow, and in normal or warm biomes it appears as rain.
Client-side Only
VisualSky is fully client-side.
This means:
- It does not change server time
- It does not change server weather
- It does not affect mobs, sleeping, redstone, or daylight sensors
- Other players will not see your selected visual sky/weather
- It works on vanilla servers
Config
You can open the config screen with:
