Storm
Ever bored with the vanilla weather? Storm is a plugin that adds a whole new range of weather mechanics to Bukkit servers.

Features
- Acid Rain: Green rain, which damages players and animals, as well as deteriorates blocks. Turn a 'grey day' into a 'radioactive-green' day!
- Blizzards: Makes snow a real threat! Players and entities caught outside during a blizzard will experience snow acting as slow sand, limited visibility, and cold damage, so long as they are not inside or near a heating block.
- Thunder Storms: If supercharged creepers were not already a threat, how will your players react to hordes of zombie pigmen? Thunder storms are massive discharges of lightning over a short period of time, in which players will be hard-pressed to survive.
- Meteors: Fireballs trailed by explosions, burrowing in the ground, and flattening all entities in their path. Players who survive, however, can delight themselves with the ores the meteor leaves behind.
- Wildfires: We can all safely say vanilla fires are boring. To spice up the game, we've added wildfires; a naturally occurring event in which entire forests will be devoured by fire with pre-1.6B physics.
- Earthquakes: With massive rifts opening up, screens shaking, and blocks flying about, Storm earthquakes will be an experience for your players to remember. Seems to be bugging in Version2.3
- Volcanoes: Large mounds of lava spurting out of the ground, explosions and flying lava bombs. Fun, fun, fun. Seems to be bugging in Version2.3
Getting started with Storm
If you are a visual learner, this video by WoopaGaming is for you! Some information is outdated, but the gist remains the same.
You can gain some more in-depth information from this "Curse Minecraft Spotlight" on Storm, as it presents most of the features of Storm in a nice format. Thanks to Xenius01 of Curse for this one!
Storm has a command for all its weather types:
| Command | Usage | Permission | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| /acidrain | /<command> [world] | storm.acidrain.command | Starts acid rain in specified world. |
| /blizzard | /<command> [world] | storm.blizzard.command | Starts a blizzard in specified world. |
| /thunderstorm | /<command> [world] | storm.thunderstorm.command | Starts a thunder storm in specified world. |
| /wildfire | /<command> [world] | storm.wildfire.command | Starts a wildfire where player is looking at. |
| /meteor | /<command> [world] | storm.meteor.command | Spawns a meteor and targets the block the player is looking at. |
| /volcano | /<command> [world] | storm.volcano.command | Spawns a volcano at the targeted block. |
| /earthquake | /<command> [world] | storm.earthquake.command | Spawns a earthquake at the targeted block. |
| /cracks | /<command> [world] | storm.earthquake.command | Spawns a crevice at the targeted block. |
And immunity permissions from their associated weathers:
| Immunity | Permission | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Acid Rain Damage | storm.acidrain.immune | Prevents damage from acid rain. |
| Blizzard Damage | storm.blizzard.immune | Prevents damage from blizzards. |
| Lightning Attraction | storm.lightning.immune | Prevents extra damage from lightning & lightning attraction. |
| Meteor Damage | storm.meteor.immune | Prevents damage from meteor shockwaves. |
If Storm doesn't load, first, make sure that you are running a compatible build of Storm. For example, 0.1.2 will run only on Bukkit 1.4.6, while 0.1.2 R1 will only run on 1.4.7. You can see the supported versions in the Files menu. If that doesn't work or Storm throws exceptions, leave a ticket.
When asking for support...
...please answer the following questions: they help us get back to you quicker and consequently address any issues faster.
- What Storm version are you running? Be specific.
- What server implementation are you running (usually CraftBukkit)?
- What Minecraft version are you running?
- What is the issue you are experiencing?
- Provide a traceback, if the issue is a crash and a log is available.

Sorry for the long wait, everyone! Icynene and I finally got in contact again, and he whipped up a quick version for 1.6.2. This build is essentially the 1.5.1 build adapted for 1.6.2, so features such as entity pathfinding and slowing down during a blizzard are currently disabled, still. Everything still works, though, and the build is waiting for approval, as far as I'm aware.
@laacis2
Wouldn't work. I tried that and the version checker stopped me from launching it.
@UltimateRuneMaster
WorldGuard regions are automatically protected from Storm weather and disasters.
@linkstman
I talked to Icynene about using sound effects in the new resource packs. However, Bukkit and Spigot have yet to implement Resource Packs server-side, so this is currently impossible.
@tgyk1337
Storm probably doesn't have support for MCPC, I'll get to this on a later date after the new build is pushed out.

Posted Jul 8, 2013I'm running a MCPC (I think that's what it is) FTB server; Bukkit 1.4.7. I've tried running this plugin right out of the box (as in my server w/o plugins) and it's not working.
Specs: Standard FTB server + MCPC (for bukkit plugins) Storm plugin fails to load because of "[Storm-mc1.4.7] Storm is not compatible with current MC version. Storm Suspended."
I am running 1.4.7Help? (Maybe you need more details, maybe not, I don't know what you need!)

Posted Jul 6, 2013hey, I think this is an amazing plugin, but what i'dd like to know is if there is a way to protect certain regions from these weather affects with worldguard or something, because I dont want my house protected from things like building and tnt, and then have a meteor come in and just completely wipe it out.

The newest version is for 1.5.1 only, unfortunately. Icynene hasn't gotten in contact with me.
EDIT: Just got in contact with Icynene. Waiting for him to reply.

Posted Jun 7, 2013I would love to have this featured on my server, KottenKraft, on its grand launch July, 1st. We are running 1.5.2 R.0.1 and an update soon would be greatly appreciated by me and many others. Thank you very much.
