Stormfront

Stormfront is a weather plugin for Paper servers that replaces Minecraft's global vanilla weather system with dynamic, per-player weather cells. Each cell has its own position, radius, intensity, and type, meaning two players in the same world can experience completely different weather simultaneously!

Features

• Rainfront: Rain impacts splash across the ground around you, campfires and fires are gradually extinguished, and movement slows as intensity builds.

• Thunderstorm: Everything in Rainfront, plus randomised lightning strikes and Enderman take damage in the rain.

• Blizzard: Snowflakes fall and drift across the ground, wind streaks of debris blow in a consistent direction, and freeze builds up while you're exposed. Fires are extinguished. Cold biomes only.

• Heatwave: Heat shimmer distorts the air, dust haze fills the atmosphere, and hunger drains faster the longer you stay exposed. Hot biomes only.

• Miasma: Swamp gas clouds billow around you, smoke rises from the ground, bubble pops and spore drift fill the air, and nausea pulses in and out the longer you remain inside the cell. Swamp and mangrove biomes only.

• Natural generation: Weather cells spawn automatically near players, drift across the world, and expire on their own. Fully configurable spawn rates, sizes, durations, and movement speed.

• Fully configurable: Enable or disable individual weather types in config.yml.

• Developer API: Register custom weather types from your own plugin using the stormfront-api. Full control over particles, effects, biome restrictions, priority, and natural spawn behaviour.

Requirements

• Paper 1.21.x
• PacketEvents (required for per-player rain and thunder levels)

Both stormfront-api and stormfront jars must be installed in your plugins/ folder.

Commands

All commands require the stormfront.admin permission.

types:
  rainfront: true

API

Stormfront ships with a public API for registering custom weather types. Implement WeatherType, register it on enable, and it integrates with the existing cell system, scheduler, and commands automatically.

StormfrontAPI.get().getRegistry().register(new MyWeatherType());
