World Need Weather

Wynncraft currently has no weather, which is a much needed detail in the wynncraft world. You could add such things as rain, snow, all the usual Minecraft weathers, and maybe even add your own such as sandstorms in the desert, hurricanes at sea, and blizzards around nesaak area. Make certain weather types more indigenous to certain areas than others, to make a realistic weather experience. Maybe certain mobs might only occur during weather of different types, like the skeleton horse only is found when a horse is struck by lightning. Maybe certain boss mobs could also summon certain severe weather patterns to distract and attempt to disrupt the player. But the main point is simple, wynncraft NEEDS weather.

 

Honestly this actually sounds decent. You should make some examples of weather and special effects that it gives to add some more detail to your suggestion though. Otherwise I like it.

 

I feel like weather would end up being either really laggy or it would cover up your screen. I remember normal minecraft weather used to be in the Wynn before it was patched out and it was harder to see in it, and if it rained in one part of the world, it rained EVERYWHERE. I don't know how you could realistically do other weathers too, like sandstorms, without using too many particles. Not to mention, weather might be a bit too annoying for people who just want to travel around. This sounds like a good idea in theory, but I feel like it has some downsides that might not be worth it for immersion.

 

You know how rain was annoying and common af in botw? It will be like it on Wynncraft, but 100x times worse.

 

The idea of custom weather and stuff is super cool and would really fit in the game. I'd also like a proper day/night cycle (with mobs that are exclusive to night and vice versa, that'd be neat). The real problem is that we can't use vanilla weather. If it rains in the jungle, it'd rain in Ahmsord as well, which wouldn't make much sense (plus, vanilla rain is pretty laggy). Thunderstrikes can be seen in the entire map no matter where you are I believe.

Adding custom weather is obviously the way to go, but performance is a real issue. How would one go and add that without adding a TON of particles. I'm sure there are way to make it not really laggy (a few particles that play only around the player? Using a custom texture to simulate the effect, without using particles?), but it's still pretty risky.
The idea is good, but it also lacks detail. It'd greatly add to the ambience and the immersion (we could even add new songs!) though.

Also, don't say "Wynn NEEDS weather" like your suggestion should be a top priority, because it's not needed

 

I would also like to mention that there are various locations in Wynncraft, like the river on the desert, that would gain rain, while the desert surrounding the river shores wouldn't. (As the river is marked as jungle biome.) It would be weird to suddenly have the rain start when crossing the river and have it suddenly end after leaving the river.

 

Having different weather would be really cool. Different mobs could spawn or secret rooms could open based on the weather. It’d be really cool even if it’s just aesthetic. But as a lot of people have pointed out, it’d be hell on performance.

 

Hopefully, it doesn't obscure the player's view too much...

 

You know that it rains in meaningful holiday at the end?
So we can do it in one place at not anywhere else

 

Pretty sure that's per player, not per place. Doesn't mean it couldn't be adapted to make "area specific" weather though.

 

I don't see how that would be the case. There's no Wynncraft mechanic that has any reason to be weather sensitive unless you want us to get struck by lightning every time we use escape.

 

Okay, well what if the weather was purposely added in certain areas and not others, like no rain in desert. Particle effects could potentially be programmed to not interfere with the players vision, and could be programmed to where special weather might have a world spawn limit, reducing lag. Also, wynn does not exactly need weather, but it would allow for a more features that could be added later in game, some which could really be cool, and might even allow for new quests. An example of a quest might be to bring the sources of each element, fire, water, air, thunder, and earth to a sorcerer, who if you finish the challenge of some ultimate journey, you will be rewarded with something, perhaps a MYTHIC ITEM, and the elements quest areas produce other worldly weather themed around the individual element of that area.

 

what i would love to see ( just came up with this tho lol) rain and stuff but like it effects you

so rain give's water dmg like 10%+ water dmg thunder storm gives like 10% thunder dmg and 5%+ water dmg
then you got windy -5% ws but 10% air dmg.
than we also need some things for fire and earth.

 

Why not like

if you have a bad computer
/toggle weather

Assuming it's purely aesthetic

 

the horse spawns by lightning and it already has the tag known as skeletontrap
that tag makes the horse spawn a lightning and 4 skelly horse men not the lightning itself

 

i like your optimism but

no, any mention of mythics as rewards at this point is a sin

 

Did I hear T R A P?

 

this could be implemented so that you could put it in as sorta a block preventing people from getting places to ez ;P
