About this Mod

PMW Rendering Additions

Some additional settings for ProtoManly's Weather Mod focusing on rendering, including a new particle-based renderer. Built to make the original mod more accessable to those with lower-end hardware, mainly for server use.

Config Options

render_mode: The renderer used for volumetrics-based weather effects

  • SHADER - The default renderer used in the original mod
  • CLASSIC- A particle-based renderer meant for lower-end devices; heavily inspired by Corosauce's Weather2
  • DISABLE - Disables all cloud effects

enable_mist: Toggles mist particles used in heavy rain/wind.

enable_splash: Toggles splash particles from rain on the ground

enhanced_fog: Toggles more intense fog/darkness effects for precipitation, meant to be used with the CLASSIC renderer to make up for a lack of a shader

update_every_ticks: Update rate for cloud/storm particle refresh with the CLASSIC renderer

particle_crossover: Ticks for particle fading during refresh with the CLASSIC renderer; should only need to be changed if using a resource pack that modifies the cloud texture

bleed_fix_mode: Experimental bleeding fixes with the original/SHADER renderer

  • FULL: Fixes bleeding with a significant performance hit
  • LIGHT: Fixes bleeding for entities, block entities, and particles (bleeding remains for blocks)
  • DISABLE: No changes to SHADER rendering behavior

Frequently Asked Questions

Does PMW Rendering Additions need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks PMW Rendering Additions as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does PMW Rendering Additions require?

Use a file for neoforge and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

PMW Rendering Additions is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
