This is a command-based plugin designed to mimic real life weather, with whatever weather system you chose to start gradually building and leaving over time instead of a straight on/off. Clouds will roll in, eventually leading to rain slowly building, which in turn brings in fog, etc.

This is designed to be used with a timed command plugin such as Timed Execute, and replace the built in weather.

Console Commands

All available commands can only be ran by the server or server console. Run times are first to last command, clear sky to clear sky.

Note: When using we random with a timer plugin, make sure to space out your command timer to at LEAST the time of the longest weather pattern (60 minutes or more) so commands don't overlap. If you want less frequent weather, set the command timer higher until you find the result that you want. If you want frequent weather set it closer to the 60 minute minimum

Timed Execute Examples

DO NOT USE MORE THAN ONE METHOD AT A TIME

Timer Repeat Method

This example shows setup for weather event every 2 hours, change value for we random under TimerRepeat for more/less time between.

{
  "EnableInGameTime-Timer": false,
  "EnableRealTime-Timer": false,
  "EnableTimerOnce": true,
  "EnableTimerRepeat": true,
  "InGameTime-Timer": {
    Don't put weather commands in this section.
  },
  "RealTime-Timer": {
    Don't put weather commands in this section.
  },
  "TimerOnce": {
    "weather.clear_chance 1": 5,
    "weather.dust_chance 0": 6,
    "weather.fog_chance 0": 7,
    "weather.overcast_chance 0": 8,
    "weather.rain_chance 0": 9,
    "weather.storm_chance 0": 10
  },
  "TimerRepeat": {
    "we random": 7200
  }
}

Real-Time Timer Method

This example shows how you would setup the weather to run a predetermined set weather patterns at specific times of the day.

{
  "EnableInGameTime-Timer": false,
  "EnableRealTime-Timer": true,
  "EnableTimerOnce": true,
  "EnableTimerRepeat": false,
  "InGameTime-Timer": {
    Don't put weather commands in this section.
  },
  "RealTime-Timer": {
    "02:00:00": "we rain",
    "05:00:00": "we lightfog",
    "08:00:00": "we lightrain",
    "10:00:00": "we storm",
    "13:00:00": "we rain",
    "17:00:00": "we lightfog",
    "21:00:00": "we lightrain",
    "23:00:00": "we storm"
  },
  "TimerOnce": {
    "weather.clear_chance 1": 5,
    "weather.dust_chance 0": 6,
    "weather.fog_chance 0": 7,
    "weather.overcast_chance 0": 8,
    "weather.rain_chance 0": 9,
    "weather.storm_chance 0": 10
    },
  "TimerRepeat": {
    Don't put weather commands in this section.
  }
}
