Short description
Client-only fake weather with vanilla visuals and global precipitation modes — force rain, snow, or storms anywhere while keeping interiors quiet.
Overview
FakeSnowFall gives you full client-side control over weather visuals without touching the server. It preserves vanilla rendering and behavior where you want it, and adds powerful new modes that let you force precipitation globally — while muting indoor rain noise for a cleaner experience.
Key features
- Client-only: No server mod required; works on any server or singleplayer world.
- Vanilla visuals: Uses the game’s native rain, snow, and thunder rendering for a natural look.
- Global precipitation modes: Force rain, snow, or storm everywhere, ignoring biomes and dimensions.
- Vanilla modes: Use vanillarain and vanillastorm to let biomes decide precipitation like vanilla.
- Quiet interiors: Mutes indoor rain sound while fake weather is active.
- Instant toggles: Switch modes with a single client command.
- Noninvasive: Server logic, gameplay mechanics, and mob behavior remain unchanged.
