I'm on a really old computer so when it starts raining it lags me alot. I really do hope an option is added as it can be really anoying. Also, isn't this supposed to be in suggestions?
The easiest solution would be to wait until night, then sleep in a bed. Rain goes away. Problem solved, in the game. It'll suck if the rain starts in the middle of the day, but just go explore a cave or something.
Personally, I have SPC installed already for other reasons, so when rain does come, I just shut it off. It's not the rain that annoys me though, tbh. I don't mind it being on. I just hate the sound. But I'm not going to sacrifice the game's whole sound system for its duration, so shutting it off entirely is the next best thing. I wouldn't want a toggle for the rain. Just a seperate volume switch, or a very very low sound effect for it (or definitely a better one at least). Even on low volume, the rain's sound drowns out everything else.

I just want to be able to TURN THE DAMN VOLUME OF RAIN down. I can't hear anything else.
And no, inevitable trolls, I don't want to turn game volume down just for this, so don't pipe up with the inane suggestion to turn it down there....I want to hear nearby mobs and such.
Something to note is that if you sleep in a bed every night, the rain will never show up. It takes a certain amount of time to pass for rain to activate, and sleeping resets that. :smile.gif:
Well, from what I've heard, anyway. Like I said, I have SPC and can turn weather on/off on a whim.
REASON: Because it lags the game up so much it becomes unplayable for a lot of people, including me. Should have thought of that before having a go at the people who want an 'option' to turn off rain, if you want rain yourself why not just keep the rain option on yes.
Games are meant to satisfy a specific range of players. Crysis 2 satisfy the high-end computer owners. The same way Minecraft satisfy the range where players have average or better computers.
If you are below that range, too bad, you'll have to live with that.
And i'm not gonna be like "TROLOLOLOL GET A NEW COMPUTER". But if your pc dont run the game smoothly, well, theres not much option unless getting a new computer. You cant demand the game developers to make something that satisfy only your needs.
And about the sound thing...
Am i the only one that actually likes the sound of rain? It is relaxing.
Ok, it makes harder to hear other sounds while it is raining, but thats what happens irl right?
What part of "It's my sandbox" do you not understand? I don't want to have to install a mod. Even World of Warcraft allows you to shut off the weather in-game without hacking the client.
Then why don't you go play WoW? SPC will disable rain. It's very simple to install. Or you can sleep every night and it won't come. So many threads where people just complain about stupid things.

Yet another gameplay-affecting aspect of rain, and why you can't just make disabling it an option, or turning down the sound an option.
Jesus christ that comment pissed me off. You know what if you think rain is ****ing annoying, or that minecraft is ****ing unrealistic go play WoW and stop bitching. I've never seen such an idiot on the forums.
Besides everyone knows that getting wood by punching a tree is the most epic thing ever.
Rain on multiplayer makes the game almost unbearable.
And all you idiots who go "buy a new computer", wow, way to act like total assholes.
Did everyone forget that the game is beta? That some things might go away?
The rain needs to get fixed, its loud, its frequent(in certain biomes), it hinders exploration(oh whats that over there... oh rain, now I can't see it anymore).
And your arguments to just "move to another biome" is idiotic, the place we spawn is the place we build, if its constantly raining in your house/town/city, then it becomes an annoyance.

So what? Caves are dark, so there should be no more darkness in the game? "What is that over there? oh wait, its dark i cant see"

You know you can change your spawn just by placing a bed.
And the place you spawn is the place you build just because your lazy. You know there are biomes that rain more often than others, and you know how to change your spawnpoint. Two options here, move or generate another world.
Or better, deal with that. Next update will already fix the "annoyance" of the sound, so no point in complaining about that. And the game is still on beta, as you said.
I'm not very fond at all of all these squares, can I turn those off too?
Or the map limit. I's too big.
Let's make it 7.
And lava. No more lava.
Or mobs.
Why can't I turn those off?
Actually peacefull turns mobs off;)
Unless you mean passive, in which case, yes why can't you? Those darn chickens sure are annoying!
yeah, nobody plays Minecraft for Minecraft anymore, we all play it for the rain.
Alos, why do you guys not want to mod?
Congrats! First person I've liked here!

Oh, because turning off the rain is so ****ing realistic.
