Minecraft Rain Mod (Client-Side)

Minecraft Rain Mod is a client-only Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.8 that enhances the immersion during rain:

• Thinner, more realistic rain drops (custom particle system)
• Directional rain drift (wind simulation)
• Ground impact splash particles
• Directional, muffled-under-cover rain ambience (client-side only)
• Subtle rain fog overlay

The mod is designed to be multiplayer-safe on vanilla servers: it does not alter server weather state, game rules, or gameplay logic.

Features

1. Advanced Rain Particles

   • Uses a custom thin_rain particle type with collision and splash-on-impact.
   • Spawns more particles based on client rain intensity.
   • Adds sideways drift based on a lightweight wind simulation.

2. Visual Client Illusion

   • Detects rain locally via the client world.
   • Adds subtle fog density during rain.

3. Sound System Overhaul

   • Cancels vanilla rain ambience and replaces it with directional positioned sound.
   • Uses a simple “under cover” check to muffle the ambience.

Installation

1. Install Fabric Loader and Fabric API for Minecraft 1.21.8.
2. Build this mod with Gradle (or use a release jar if provided).
3. Put the built jar into your mods/ folder.
4. Launch Minecraft and verify the mod loads without errors.

Usage

All behavior is automatic when raining:

• When it starts raining, the mod spawns thin rain particles and plays replaced rain ambience.
• When rain stops, the mod stops its own ambience/particles and vanilla rendering resumes.

Configuration is stored in Minecraft’s config directory as rainmod.json (created automatically on first run).

Configuration

The config supports enabling/disabling particles, sound, and fog, plus an intensity multiplier and basic tunables.
