Yes, place multiple Rain Shields throughout your area so their radius circles overlap and cover the entire region you want protected from rain. Plan their spacing based on the default 80-block radius or your configured value.
Does Rain Shield stop rain sounds too?
Rain Shield only stops the visual rain rendering; rain sounds and rain-triggered mechanics (like crops growing faster or cauldrons filling) will still occur normally in the shielded area.Will Rain Shield work with other weather mods?
Rain Shield is designed to work with most weather mods, but compatibility depends on how those mods handle rain rendering. Test it with your specific weather mod setup; some advanced weather systems may not be fully blocked.Does Rain Shield affect performance?
Rain Shield has minimal performance impact since it only prevents rain particles from rendering in a specific area. Multiple shields in the same world will have a negligible effect on FPS.Can I use Rain Shield indoors?
Rain Shield blocks rain rendering in open air, but it won't stop rain from appearing inside enclosed structures since rain doesn't naturally render there anyway. It's most useful for outdoor bases or large roofed areas.What happens if I place two Rain Shields too close together?
Their protection radii will overlap, which is actually useful for covering larger areas. There's no penalty for overlapping shields—they simply combine their effects.
Can I configure the Rain Shield radius per block?
No, the radius is a global setting configured in the mod's config file and applies to all Rain Shield blocks in your world. You cannot set individual radii for different shields.
