Weather Changer Mod lets you override Minecraft's weather visually on your client — no server-side changes, no packets sent, no risk of getting flagged. If a thunderstorm is wrecking your visibility on a multiplayer server, just type a quick command and enjoy clear skies while everyone else squints through the rain. With over 481,000 downloads on Modrinth and support for Forge, Fabric, and Quilt, it's become a go-to quality-of-life tool for players who want full control over their visual experience.
Key Features
- Client-side weather override — Changes are purely visual and only affect your screen. The server never knows you switched the weather, making it safe to use on any multiplayer server.
- Simple command system — Use

FAQ
Does Weather Changer Mod work on multiplayer servers?
Yes. The mod only changes weather visually on your client and sends no packets to the server, so it works on any multiplayer server without affecting other players or triggering anti-cheat systems.
Does changing the weather with this mod stop mobs from spawning?
No. The weather change is purely cosmetic. Game mechanics like mob spawning, lightning damage, and rain-related effects still follow the server's actual weather state.
How do I turn off Weather Changer and go back to normal weather?
Simply type /cweather off in the chat. This disables the mod's visual override and returns your weather display to whatever the server or singleplayer world is currently set to.
