How to Match Rain and Water Colors to Your Biome

How Biome Tinting Works

Particle Rain tints rain and water particles to match the biome's water color. That means rain falling in a swamp looks different from rain in a cold ocean or a warm jungle river. The tint is applied automatically based on where you are, so you do not need to toggle anything for it to work.

If colors look off, the cause is usually a resource pack or shader that hardcodes water colors. Disable the pack's water tinting or switch to a pack that respects biome colors. Vanilla biome water colors are the baseline the mod follows, so if you have modified biome colors through a datapack, the rain tint should follow those changes too.

Using Tinting for Builds

Biome tinting is useful for builders who want weather to feel native to a location. A base in a swamp will get murky green-tinted rain, while a tropical build gets brighter blue tones. When planning screenshots or cinematics, pick a biome whose water color complements your build palette.

If you want a consistent look across biomes, a resource pack that overrides water color to a single value will also flatten the rain tint, giving uniform rain everywhere. Test by standing at a biome border during rain and watching the particles shift as you cross.
