Editing Weather

{{stub}}
'''Weather''' is a local natural phenomena in the world of ''Minecraft'', that is based on it's different [[Biome|biomes]]. [[Better than Adventure!]] includes some weather from the base game, but most weather and their mechanics have been revamped or added.

In [[Better than Adventure!]] default worlds the weather is heavily dependent on the current [[Season|season]].

== Wind ==
[[Better than Adventure!|BTA!]] features a dynamic wind system that affects cloud direction, falling leaves, and [[Flag|flags]].

== Default Weather ==
Below is a list of all the different weather events you can encounter in a default [[Better than Adventure!|BTA!]], across all [[Season|seasons]].
=== Clear ===
The default state of your world, sun is shining.

=== Rain ===
Rain is one of the most common weather types, water droplets fall from the sky, irrigating crops.

During a rainstorm, each tick has a 1⁄300 chance to catch a fish, reducing the average time between catches from 346 ticks to 207 ticks, a 40% decrease.

=== Thunderstorm ===
A rare variant of normal rain, that has a chance of lightning strikes.

Most common during [[Season|summers]].

=== Fog ===

=== Snow ===

=== Aurora Borealis ===
Shimmering lights that can occasionally be seen in the night sky in cold [[Biome|biomes]].

Generated via Perlin noise.

Physically generates at approximately y=400 on Extended Default, can be flown into in Creative.

== Special Weather ==
=== Blood Rain ===
Rains upwards.

== History ==
{{History|October 22, 2009|Showcased rain.|Rain is now shown to be thinner.}}
{{History|?|Rain was introduced purely for cosmetic purposes. The mechanics were simple, testing only if there is a [[block]] above to shelter the rain.}}
{{History|Minecraft Classic 0.27 SURVIVAL TEST|"F5" now toggles rain.}}
{{History|Minecraft Classic 0.29_01|Rain can now be toggled only in Creative mode.}}
{{History|Minecraft Invdev 20100218|"F5" no longer toggles rain.}}
{{History|Minecraft Alpha 1.0.4|Added Winter mode. While generating a world, there is a 25% chance to get a snowy world, where [[snow]] falls continuously. This feature was eventually removed with the introduction of [[Biome|biomes]].}}
{{History|Minecraft Alpha 1.2.0|snap=?|Removed Winter mode, and replaced it with [[Biome|biomes.]]}}
{{History|Minecraft Beta 1.5|Weather was introduced. Rain, snowfall, and thunderstorms were implemented after a teaser video was released.[2] Rain looks identical to the rain in Classic, but also plays two different sound files.|Added the ability for lightning strikes to charge [[Creeper|creepers]] and transform [[Pig|pigs]] into [[Zombie Pigman|zombie pigmen]].}}
{{History|Minecraft Beta 1.5_01|Fixed a bug where rain fell through certain [[Block|blocks]] like [[glass]], [[Stair|stairs]] and [[Slab|slabs]].}}
{{History|Minecraft Beta 1.6|snap=Test Build 3|Fixed a bug where the rain seemed to freeze when climbing down [[Ladder|ladders]] until you reached the bottom or changed direction, possibly indicating that you climbed at same speed as the rain fell.|Fixed a bug where rain and [[snow]] fell underwater.}}
{{History|Minecraft Beta 1.7.6|snap=Prerelease 1|Added fog.|Improved weather system.}}

== Trivia ==
* Rain and snow still falls above the clouds. Notch's explanation is that the gray above the clouds during a storm is “another layer of clouds” and the origin of the rain.[https://twitter.com/notch/status/130230769347067905]

*Rain and snow actually fall one [[block]] into the void (Layer -1). This can be seen in Creative Mode by floating in the Void. Note that no particles are emitted from the rain, due to the absence of a block below it for it to fall on.

* Lightning does not have an image file associated with it. Thus, it is coded directly into the game engine, allowing for dynamic, realistic lightning.
