How to Enjoy Weather Effects and Lighting Upgrades Outdoors

Observing Weather and Sun Rays

When exploring the overworld during clear weather, look toward the horizon to watch reimagined complementary clouds drift by. You will notice sun rays shining brightly through the clouds during clear weather, casting beautiful lighting across forest hills and daytime villages. During sunrises and sunsets, enjoy the vibrant colors lighting up the sky alongside gentle plant movements that make vegetation sway naturally in the breeze.

Experiencing Rain and Wet Surfaces

When weather conditions shift and rain begins to fall, watch for a misty atmosphere forming in locations like birch forests under vanilla-style clouds. As the rain falls, observe the wet effect as it appears realistically on surfaces across the world, adding depth and immersion to blocks and mobs alongside realistic shadows that enhance the overall look of structures and landscapes during your travels.
