Pocket Weather

This Fabric mod for Minecraft 26.2 introduces a series of powerful, upgradeable weather bottles that allow players to capture and release specific weather phenomena.

Key Features:
Capture Weather: Right-click an Empty Weather Bottle during various weather states to capture them:

Clear Sky Bottle: Captured during Clear weather.

Rain Bottle: Captured during Rain.

Thunder Bottle: Captured during a Thunderstorm.

Snow Bottle: Captured during Snowfall.

Release & Control: Take your filled bottles and release the captured weather elsewhere with another right-click. Each filled bottle has three uses.

Localized Effects: Unlike global weather commands, these bottles create local “Pocket Weather” zones that interact dynamically with the environment.

Understanding the Effects:
Rain: Hydrates farmland, extinguishes fires.

Snow: Accumulates snow, and over time, gradually freezes players.

Thunder: Creates rain and localized lightning strikes within the effect zone.

Clear Sky: Instantly removes any active Pocket Weather zone in its area.

The Progression Tiers:
Unlock larger areas and longer duration effects by upgrading your empty bottles. (See image below for the complete bottle types, referencing image_0.png for visual styles).

Tier I: The Copper Core
Effects: Affects a 1-chunk area for 5 minutes.

Crafting Recipe: See Recipe Card 1

Tier II: The Diamond Standard (Shapeless Upgrade)
Effects: Affects a 4-chunk area for 8 minutes.

Upgrade Recipe: Combine a Tier I Empty Weather Bottle, 4 Diamonds, 1 Breeze Rod, and 1 Eye of Ender. See Recipe Card 2

Tier III: The Netherite Pinnacle (Shapeless Upgrade)
Effects: Affects a massive 12-chunk area for 12 minutes.

Upgrade Recipe: Combine a Tier II Empty Weather Bottle, 1 Nether Star, 1 Heavy Core, 1 Dragon’s Breath, 1 Echo Shard, and 4 Netherite Scraps. See Recipe Card 3

Advanced Weather Brewing (Optional Feature):
Combine different weather types through brewing stands to create complex, multi-layered climate systems like “Thunderous Snow” or localized Fog (Fog reduces visibility and interacts with redstone).
