About this Mod

A weather overhaul that makes storms more immersive, atmospheric, and dangerous.
High Voltage expands Minecraft's weather system with custom precipitation, atmospheric fog, biome-specific climates, environmental hazards, and dynamic storm effects.
The mod includes a complete set of built-in weather profiles out of the box, so no configuration is required. Simply install the mod and experience a more varied and immersive world.
For players, High Voltage is a weather overhaul.
For pack makers, it's a fully data-driven weather framework.
Vanilla+ Weather
High Voltage is designed to feel like a natural extension of Minecraft's weather system.
Instead of adding tornadoes, survival mechanics, or complicated weather simulations, High Voltage focuses on making storms more interesting, atmospheric, and biome-specific while staying true to vanilla gameplay.
You'll still recognize Minecraft's weather but now different regions of the world can have their own identity.
A snowy biome might experience freezing blizzards.
A swamp might become covered in dense fog.
A forest storm might bring increased lightning activity.
The goal isn't to replace Minecraft's weather with an entire overhaul.
It's to make it feel like it was always meant to be this way.
Features
Built In Weather Overhaul
High Voltage comes with its own weather profiles and environmental effects, adding variety to storms across the world without requiring any setup.
Different biomes can experience unique weather conditions with their own visuals, atmosphere, and gameplay effects.

High Voltage supports:
- Custom precipitation textures
- Colored precipitation
- Variable fall speeds
- Landing particles
- Landing sounds
- Rain-like or entirely custom weather behavior
Atmospheric Fog
Storms can dramatically alter visibility using custom fog rendering.
Examples include:
- Dense blizzards
- Coastal mist

Dynamic Weather Effects
Weather can directly impact gameplay.
Built-in effects include:

Storms become more than visual decoration, they become hazards.
Biome-Specific Climates
Each biome can have its own weather profile.
A snowy mountain may experience blizzards while a nearby swamp is covered in thick fog.
Weather becomes part of a biome's identity instead of a global effect.
Datapack Support
Everything used by High Voltage's built-in weather system is exposed through data-driven codecs.
Modpack creators and datapack authors can:
- Create entirely new weather profiles
- Customize existing profiles
- Add custom weather effects
- Change precipitation visuals
- Configure fog behavior
- Control lightning frequency
- Target specific biome groups
No coding required.
Weather profiles are loaded from:
data/<namespace>/weather_profiles/
Documentation: High Voltage Documentation
Built In Diagnostics
High Voltage includes datapack error reporting.
When a weather effect fails to load, the game can automatically detect:
- Missing effect types
- Invalid IDs
- Misspelled parameters
- Unexpected fields
- Parsing failures
Making weather profile creation significantly easier to debug.
Perfect For
- Vanilla+
