Specifically, the hooks that this requires were added in 709.

why there isn't a snow starting command?

To all the people asking, if you want snow, you must be in a snow biome.

thank u^^

Question, can we have a nothunder config option, where I can tell the server no thunder unless it's called upon by an admin, we've had some fantastic fires.

Or, is setting duration of thunder to 0 a way of already doing this.

Thanks for the plugin!

Can you add setting to the config to disable certain aspects? Disable/enable: thunder, rain, permanently, and by MultiWorld?

Thank you.

Probably a question for WorldEdit but is it possible to edit biome types to achieve this?

Biomes are determined at runtime, they're not saved.
A change to the worldgen code would be required for that.

I like this plugin, but I don't really like the fact that it overrides the default weather patterns. Perhaps make an option to specify an upper and lower boundary for interval and duration, allowing for a bit of randomness in when storms occur?

Also, does the thunder option specify when thunderstorms occur, or when thunder during a rainstorm occurs?

Edit:
Two things I've noticed which I'm not sure if they are a problem with your plugin or with SMP: Summoned lightning strikes will cause fire, but not a lasting fire, and summoned lightning strikes on pigs will create multiple pig-zombies, one server-side that acts like normal, and one to a few client-side ones that are not killable and do nothing but push you around (until you disconnect and reconnect).

Any chance of letting the server owner decide which item has lightning powers? This way, I could, for example, set it to the Gold Pickaxe (my texture pack has them as hammers) on my private server, and on other servers, one could make it, say, a Music Record to make it extremely rare

There is a tool that can extract biome data from the map - why can't we change that data on the fly? How exactly are biomes determined at runtime, because when I throw down some snow, it doesn't become a snow biome and I still get rain...

Yeah, last item in the config file selects which item is the wand. Also, you should probably set permissions if you want to keep people from using it.

It's a problem with SMP - /spawnmob command doesn't work right either.

NEW EASTER EGG: Just found this, but it's probably known - hit a creeper with a lightning bolt and it retains an electric charge! Tazercreeper!

can some1 show me what should I edit in the text file so I can get rain more often ? want it to be more like my hometown (seattle)

This would be real nice, also an option to turn on/off lightning fire ^^;

Simply perfect. I've had a very fun morning on my server, however my players would speak otherwise

EDIT: Actually, I have a request! Can you make a setting that changes the severity of the storm, like the frequency of the lightning strikes? for example 1 would be barely any lightning and 10 would be 'ZOMG WE'RE GONNA DIE' lightning

An admin could probably write out a command similar to this: /mn lightning 10. You could make the numbers to different names, like if you do /mn thunder with /mn lightning set as 10 it would say in that blue text:

An incredibly dangerous thunderstorm is on it's way!

(These names can be set in config.yml)

I understand a similar result can be achieved with the wand and an admin, but I think an automated 'lightning frequency' system admins can use would be fairer than striking people down It'll allow only me to use the wand aswell. Muhahaha Please consider this, great work on everything so far. My fave plugin on 1.5

Also! I know it's a lot to take in but you could allow a randomization of frequency (1-10), by a simple setting in the config.yml like:

Allow lightning frequency randomization: true/false

@DannyCare you sir carry great evil

But I like those ideas. Maybe have a configuration like so :
%chance,power,text
- {20, 1, 'A very weak storm is approaching (1)'}
- {15, 2, 'A minor storm is approaching (2)'}
- {13, 3, 'A storm is approaching (3)'}
- {11, 4, 'A mild storm is approaching (4)'}
- {10, 5, 'A storm is approaching (5)'}
- {10, 6, 'A big storm approaching (6)'}
- {9, 7, 'Attention : Heavy storm approaching (7)'}
- {6, 8, 'Warning : Strong storm approaching (8)'}
- {5, 9, 'WARNING: VERY STRONG STORM APPROACHING (9)'}
- {1, 10, 'DANGER : EXTREMELY DANGEROUS STORM APPROACHING (10)'}

Edit : Or make it ugrading rolls.
Storm is lv 1. 50% chance its lv 2. If lv 2, 50% chance its lv 3. If lv 3, 50% chance its lv 4, etc...

Could you turn off console reports it's spamming my serverside console

Yes? That tool jumps the Minecraft.jar to check the worldgen algorithm that the biomes are using, and generates files for a map generator to then use.

They are generated by the game when it loads a chunk, and are permanently like that until the chunk is unloaded.
They are not stored in any way, which means that the only way to change them is to change the worldgen code.

Can you make this plugin work from console? I'd really love to strike people during lunch at my work lol... seriously it'd be useful...

I adore the functionality that allows me to turn on and off the rains, but if possible I'd like to let the game itself decide when to pop out rain naturally. Could an option to disable the timer be added?

Aside from that I'm having an insane amount of fun with the lightning zapper, it's now my go-to mob killer. I have to be super careful near forests though!

Now to find a mod that lets me apply the ghast fireball mini-explosion to the lightning strike spot.

Very cool. We will organize thunder-games on our server on a special Arena where players will burn each other using golden boots and thunder ! Thanks to your great plugin.

?!?

Cool, amazing.
Thx.

Some wooden stuffs does not burn, as wooden stairs, fences, wooden slabs ! Something to claim to Notch

I'm have a weird issue...plugin-created thunderstorms don't lower the light level to 7 like naturally-occurring thunderstorms on my server do, so monsters don't spawn in a thunderstorm. Rainstorms lower the light level slightly like natural ones though, so I don't know what's wrong.

It seems to be a bug with fire and rain into the Minecraft server version : rain does not extinct the fire.
To fix that, you can use this great plugin (worked for me) : http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/firefix.14019/

Very much so! That's perfectly logical to me. I prefer the first one though, i like a bit of randomness I love a highly configurable plugin.
