    Thread Title:
    Weather :)
    Minecraft Name:
    jvhosmuffin

    Suggestion:
    Weather in the main world.
    Reason:
    I love the realistic aspect of the economy on this server, that's why I think this is such a great server. But I love rain :) When it rains in real life, I like to open all the windows and just listen. It's just relaxing. In EcoCityCraft, I haven't been here long enough to know if there was a reason the weather is turned off, but I would give anything to have some nice rain every once in a while (and it would make it more realistic).

    Other Information:
    In extra commands, there are a few features where the user can change the time of day client-side. I thought there might be some way to do this with the weather as well, so that the weather changes client-side, instead of for the whole server. In situations where weather affects the game, such as fishing, I figured that could be just be turned off somehow (ie. no bonus for fishing in the rain). I have never donated for anything, but if there was one thing I would donate for before anything else, it would be rain. It could be a donator feature, like $15 for weather, and I bet many people would be interested in buying this if a successful plugin could be made to handle this. I would certainly donate for this!

    Link to this plugin:
    I don't know if something like this exists, but I bet it's been at least tried to be made somewhere. There might be some successful ones out there somewhere, I don't really know.

    I support adding weather to the main world. I loved weather and I was sad when it went away.

    Well, all I'm saying is, I worked for 320k for a melon sword, 15k for resident, 85k for mayor, 75k for town portal, and 180k now for president, and I'd love to relax in my private beach with some rain every now and then :p

    And I really think someone should look into my client-side idea. person13 thanks for that link, I had been looking for that but couldn't find it. But yeah has anyone looked into a client-side feature? Seriously weather as a client-side donation feature would just bring more money to the server.

    It gets a bit annoying. Maybe try to decrease weather but still have it? I remember how it would rain every 10 minutes and it was very annoying.

    I think 1.6 fixes this if not there is a way you can slow it down.

    Can i be the Weatherman?!? lolz


    I think it should be turned back on, hasn't the server got better specs for the weather enabled? or is just after the major boost?

    Weather caused many problems lag wise and parts of spawn burned down because the weather glitched out and blasted all of spawn.

    Ok sure. I mean obviously there were problems in the past or else they wouldn't have gotten rid of it. But how about just client-side weather? Has anyone looked into somehow creating a program that can enable weather client-side? Just like the day/night thing that is in one of the donation features, could we do a weather thing as well?
