Head In The Clouds Mod FAQ

Open the mod's config file and enter the Y level your world uses for clouds. Servers can't detect this automatically, so you must set it manually or the mod won't know where 'above the clouds' begins.

The cloud height in your config probably doesn't match your world's actual cloud level. Check the config value and adjust it to the correct Y level for your dimension.

Yes, but the server has no way to know where clouds are, so the cloud height must be configured on the server side. If it isn't set, the altitude weather effect won't trigger for anyone.

Riptide requires rain or thunderstorm weather, and above the cloud level the mod simulates clear weather. Move below the cloud layer during rain, or use the trident at a lower altitude.

Rain extinguish only works when actual rain is falling on you, and above the cloud layer the mod treats weather as clear. Get below the cloud level or use water, a cauldron, or another extinguish method.

No, the opposite. The extra crop growth tick from rain only applies below the cloud layer, so farming above the clouds loses that bonus.

Yes, build above the configured cloud height and the mod will keep the area sunny regardless of the weather below. Just remember that rain-dependent mechanics like riptide and fire extinguish won't work up there.

Those dimensions don't have normal rain to begin with, so the altitude weather effect mainly matters in the Overworld. Set the cloud height per dimension in the config if the mod supports it.

It can conflict with mods that also override weather behavior or cloud rendering, since both may try to control the same thing. Test alongside your other weather mods and adjust configs if effects overlap.

It's a lightweight weather logic tweak rather than a rendering overhaul, so performance impact is minimal. Any lag you see is more likely from other mods or the sky base itself.
