• How to force rain and thunder!
    34 replies, posted
It's annoying how rare rain and thunderstorms are in the minecraft world, so here's a way to force them to happen! Firstly, download NBTedit [url]http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?t=7868[/url] Launch the program and locate the world of your choice at: C:\Users\*Username*\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves\ Open the world folder and select the level.dat inside. [img]http://i.imgur.com/WQLcP.png[/img] You should be presented with this screen, simply change the values of raining or thundering from 0 to 1 to enable them. The rainTime and thunderTime values also affect how long the weather will last, setting them to something like 999999999 will make the weather almost permanent. Hopefully I've explained this well enough for people to understand, enjoy!
Awesome, was looking for this because technically my entire world is a desert biome. Thanks darlin
Thanks, been wanting to have some rain. :love:
This should help a lot for people making campaign maps with a rain atmosphere, awesome.
Awesome! Now I can electrocute my creepers!
Minecraft needs a rain dance, with a sacrifice of a sheep!
Next update should add an ocarina. [IMG]http://www.hylianhelpdesk.com/ocarina/imgs/songs/songofstorms.jpg[/IMG] Ok obviously i wasn't serious about adding an ocarina guys.
Is it true that rain grows grass and snow covers shit with snow? I made a snow village and it is in a snow biome but i cant cover everthing with snow and it looks all patchy and sad :saddowns:

It probably wouldn't effect grass, but indeed, snow makes snow.

Is there a way to force snow?

[QUOTE=Baboo00;29340065]Not an ocarina, but some kind of magical musical instrument(s) would be cool.[/QUOTE] Notch talked about wanting to add more magic and shit. I think it would be interesting to see.
That noteblock idea is good. Or create a netherrack pyre and you have to throw items into it in a specific order. Like a witch.

[QUOTE=ThatHippyMan;29340392]Is there a way to force snow?[/QUOTE] Forcing snow would require a different method to rain and thunder, these settings are global but snow is restricted to certain biomes.

Can it work with snow?
While this works great, if you sleep, it deactivates.
NBTedit, christ I remember using this to edit my inventory back in the day.
It'd be cool if you could build some kind of lightning rod and harness the power of lightning. :science:

Someone higher up in the modding world (who can talk to notch) should try and get him to implement the songs for rain and snow and all that. For example, get the notblocks in the correct order, play song of storms, and it rains.

Nevermind lol

[QUOTE=Asaratha;29344009]If you're in a snow biome the rain will be snow[/QUOTE] I wish it could snow in biomes other than tundra and tagia.
