Extended Weather Radius
Increases the allowed radius of weather particles
About this Mod
Increases the possible maximum setting for the "Weather Effects Radius" option.
The default maximum radius for weather particles when combined with vanilla Minecraft's particle system leaves a lot to be desired in the visual department, in my opinion. This mod improves on that by increasing the maximum possible setting for the "Weather Effects Radius" option.
QnA
Why does it cap out at 15?
- There are a few caps set on this option; it is set to 15, as that's the maximum amount with minimal tinkering. It will hopefully be increased in the future.
Is there a performace hit?
- Almost certainly. While I haven't tested the exact value, keep in mind that you are adding multiple blocks' worth of particles for every increase.
Will this impact mods?
- If they use the vanilla Weather Effect Radius setting, then yes.
