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

After rainfall, moisture that has seeped into the ground will evaporate back into the air, creating clouds of mist above the ground. These will also appear naturally in wet and spooky biomes.

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

✘ Particle Core

• Particle Rain effects may flicker or blink when Particle Core is installed

✔ Particle Tweaks

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

✔ Serene Seasons

• Not compatible with versions older than 9.3. Please make sure to double check which version of serene seasons you are downloading. The latest version is not necessarily the one at the top!
• Rain in deserts is a feature of serene seasons during specific seasons, not a bug with particle rain!

⚠ 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

⚠ Hypixel

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

⚠ Valkyrian Skies

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

⚠ Shader Packs

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

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