Rain/Thunder

by midar1000 · on Modrinth

Adds a customizable rain and thunderstorm effect to the main menu, with adjustable intensity and random lightning strikes

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Minecraft 1.20–1.20.1Newest

⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.1 · NeoForge ⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.1 · Forge

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
