I would really like to see a way to turn snow and rain on and off. so i'm not really sure if this is a request of the bukkit team or a developer. either way though it would be really cool o have that sort of option
O now that is an interesting bit of information. can you explain to me why that would be so? did notch remove the code for it or something like that?
I haven't even heard of rain or snow in minecraft, besides the obvious snow regions, but that's not like how you're describing it.. it definitely sounds like it'd be necessary for a client mod.
Seems vaguely workable based on my pitiful knowledge of plugin development. It would seem like you'd need to have a chance every MC day for several chunks to either A- change all grass to mud, for rain; or B- cover external surfaces in snow. There would be no graphics effects, but still.
unfortunately the only thing i really wanted was the graphics effects since those are still included in the client as images. i didn't really care about mud snow would be nice though.
Yeah, pretty sure he removed or replaced the code for snow & rain when he added biomes to the game. There is a mod that re-enables them, but it's for singleplayer afaik
