The current weather in the game i find rather boring and it doesn’t do much except make it darker and lightning i haven’t experienced yet. Snow will cover the ground with snow but the only thing you can do with snow is make snowballs and snow blocks. Rain i heard fills up small blocks with water, i haven’t seen any evidence of this while playing or anywhere else. Anyways my idea with weather is that there would be "major storms". These storms would be longer than a normal rain/snow but they would cause flooding in lower areas and could put a water fall in caves, and for a snow version of that i would fill the area with snow blocks or snow banks.
a normal snow/ rain storm should be able to fill small holes with water (small holes consisting of 4 blocks or less) and the snow part of that could form “deep snow” 1 or 2 blocks deep every snowfall forcing players to shovel like people do when it snows in reality otherwise they would end up trapped in their house.
“Deep snow” would be a block sort of like water but it would be really hard to walk through and you would lose hearts do too cold if you stayed in it too long.
Adding to this suggested by Paddy is that wind could be added making it harder to walk the direction the winds blowing and easier to walk in the other direction. Wind would cause snow banks deeper than "deep snow".
one thing i forgot to add was that snow should be able to build up on glass. So if you have a glass roof you would have to shovel it to see out
Please comment and tell me what you think, or anything you think could be added or tweaked
Pretty good idea, despite the grammar. I think you'd be interested in my thread... basically an enlarged version of this thread :smile.gif: Link in my siggy if you wish to take a look

so yeah im used to word correcting my typing :tongue.gif:. are they fixed now?
i like that idea. our ideas are similar but not the same. yours is more of a new setting where as mine is more like an addition to the existing weather
