Particle Rain

Particle Rain replaces the default weather with prettier particle effects, and adds some additional fog, wind, and sandstorm weather effects. You can disable, add, or customise weather effects with the in-game config menu.

Fabric versions require Fabric API.

For config, use command /particlerain or your loader's mod list menu

For common mod compatibility issues, scroll to the bottom.

Rain Particles

Falls at an angle, as if blown by wind. The wind is stronger during stormy weather.

Snow Particles

Rotate slowly as they fall.

Sandstorms

Dust and shrubs blow through deserts and other dry biomes. Supports modded biomes. Will match the color of the block below.

Biome Tint

Rain and water particles match the biome's water tint. In vanilla biomes, the tint is not this strong.

Water Ripples

Appears when rain falls onto water. Will match the resolution of your resource pack.

Water Streaks

Appears when rain hits a wall made of a hard material. (can be configured to appear on any block)

Mist

Moisture hangs in the air in wet/spooky biomes and after rainfall.

Configuration & Custom Effects

You can create all kinds of atmospheric particle effects for specific blocks and biomes or edit the existing effects using the built in configuration menu.

Access the menu via the command /particlerain or through the mod menu.

Puddles

Puddles feature has been moved to its own mod: https://modrinth.com/mod/puddles-floods/

Mod compatibility notes

Rain in deserts

• ✔ This is typically a feature of mods that add seasons, not a bug or incompatibilty.

Crash with Async Particles

• ✘ While previously compatible, this mod is no longer updated.

Flickering with Particle Core

• ✔ In particle core's config, set culling mode to bounding box or add particles to the blacklist.

Crash with Particle Tweaks

• ✔ If encountering a crash in Minecraft 1.20, use particle tweaks 1.1.1 instead of the latest version.

Black sun with Complementary & Astrocraft

• ✔ Disable 'Sun/Moon during rain' in Complementary's settings

Invisible weather with Visual Effects+ Resource pack

• ✔ Use the respackopts mod to disable the pack's weather or open its files and delete the rain and snow textures from assets/minecraft/textures/environment

Underwater ripples with Hypixel

• ✘ Hypixel sometimes breaks heightmaps, causing incorrectly placed effects in some scenarios.

Valkyrian Skies

• ✔ Weather effects can collide with ships.
• ✘ Eureka helms sometimes breaks random number generation, causing incorrectly placed effects in some scenarios.

Other shader packs issues

Shader pack support varies by minecraft version. Some shader packs do not fully support particles and in some versions, iris does not support the custom shading used for fog particles.

• Recommended shaderpack: Complementary (and derivatives, eg: rethinking voxels)
