Better Weather Texture Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on the Better Weather texture pack?
Open Settings, go to Global Resources, find Better Weather under your available packs and activate it so it moves into the active list. You can also add it to a single world from that world's Resource Packs section if you only want it there.
How can I check that the new rain is actually working?
Load a world in a rainy biome and wait for rain, or, if cheats are on, type /weather rain. Look up at the falling rain. With the pack active, the raindrops should look finer and more delicate, and they should block less of your view than vanilla rain.
Where do I go to see the improved snowfall?
Travel to a cold biome such as snowy plains or a snowy taiga and wait for precipitation, or use /weather rain while you stand there. In cold biomes the game shows snow instead of rain, so that is where the pack's reworked snowflakes appear.
Rain and snow still look exactly like vanilla. What's wrong?
Usually another resource pack sits above Better Weather in your active list and replaces the weather textures. Move Better Weather to the top of the active packs. If nothing changes, deactivate and reactivate it, or restart the game. Also check that you activated it in the right place, either Global Resources or that world's own pack list.
Can I use Better Weather together with my other texture packs?
Yes. Keep it active alongside your other packs and put it at or near the top of the list so its rain and snow textures take priority. Your other packs will still control blocks, items and anything else Better Weather doesn't change.
Will this texture pack lower my FPS?
It shouldn't. The pack only swaps the textures used for rain and snow, so it shouldn't affect performance. If you do get lag during storms, check your other packs or your video settings first.
Does Better Weather change how often it rains or how much snow piles up?
No, it's purely visual. The weather cycle, snow buildup, crop growth and every other weather mechanic work exactly as in vanilla. Only the look of the falling rain and snow changes.
Will turning on Better Weather disable achievements?
No. It's a resource pack, which only changes visuals, and resource packs don't turn off achievements in Bedrock the way behavior packs or cheats do.
Does it work in multiplayer or on servers?
It's a visual pack on your own device, so you'll see the new rain and snow, but other players only see it if they have the pack active too. If a server forces its own resource pack that also changes the weather textures, that pack can override Better Weather while you're connected.
How do I go back to normal rain and snow?
Return to Global Resources, or to the world's Resource Packs if you added it there, and deactivate Better Weather. The vanilla weather textures come back as soon as the pack is no longer active.
