Petrichor: Rain & Storms

Petrichor: Rain & Storms

Realistic rain and storms – rain that builds up and eases off, puddles, runoff and drips, a soundscape placed in
the world and branching lightning with delayed thunder.

📦 Requires NeoForge 1.21.1 · works on the client alone, on the server too so every
player sees the same weather

✨ Features

• 🌧️ Rain that changes – drizzle, rain, downpour and thunderstorm, swelling and dying down over a minute, slanted by
  a slowly turning wind; sun showers with rainbows.
• 🌫️ Rainy air – haze that settles in valleys and fades ridges in layers, drifting showers, a cloud deck with rain
  shafts on the horizon, low mist among the trees; rain never passes through walls.
• 💧 Water on the ground – puddles in hollows that reflect the world and ripple with rings, wet shining ground,
  water running off edges and dripping from roofs, cliffs and leaves after the rain; cauldrons fill as fast as it
  rains.
• 🔥 Splashes everywhere – rings on water, spray from leaves and mobs, drops hissing into steam on lava, magma and
  campfires.
• 🔊 A soundscape in the world – rain heard from where it falls, every surface with its own recordings, roofs that
  drum by material, rain muffled behind walls and quiet under water.
• ⚡ Lightning and thunder – branching bolts with return strokes, flashes in the clouds, thunder arriving after the
  flash at the speed of sound.
• 🎬 Cinematic storm – the view darkens for a moment before a strike, a close bolt overexposes the eyes and leaves
  an afterimage, drops freeze in the flash like in a strobe.

✅ Particle Rain (optional) – Petrichor draws the rain, Particle Rain the snow, sand and fog, all in the same wind.

✅ Living Wind (optional) – the rain slants the way its wind vanes point, and a drizzle or a storm blows harder or softer with its wind.
