About this Mod

Rainfall is a dynamic weather simulation mod that transforms Minecraft’s rain into a fully interactive water system.

Instead of simple visual rain, precipitation accumulates on surfaces, forming realistic puddles that grow over time. Water spreads based on terrain shape, collects in low areas, and gradually develops into flowing streams that follow natural slopes. These streams can merge, create small runoff paths, and visually connect different water bodies, all without altering or destroying blocks.

The system is designed to be performant while still delivering detailed and immersive behavior. It simulates water flow, surface spread, evaporation, and drainage in a way that feels natural and responsive to the environment.

For debugging and visualization, a built-in debug renderer is available.
Press P to toggle the debug view, which displays internal simulation data such as flow directions, basins, and water distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rainfall server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong neoforge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Rainfall compatible with neoforge?

Rainfall officially supports neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Rainfall – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Rainfall consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
