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 Some information is outdated, but the gist remains the same.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.

Posted Aug 11, 2013The texture files are not found? I want to use textures. How should I lay out the zip file for my own textures? Do I just put a png file in a .Zip?

Posted Aug 10, 2013Would this mod conflict with the real weather plug? (i'd post a link but idk if it's against the rules n such...) Been trying to decide between two but if i could have both that'd be great.

Posted Aug 4, 2013Hi, I am running Storm v1.3.1 for 1.6.2 (Jul 09, 2013), on a Better Craftbukkit (Spigot) 1.6.2 server, Minecraft version 1.6.2. I am finding an issue in configuring the files, being that when I save the files, it seems to revert back to the original settings. For instance, if I change the warning on acid rain falling to "&aAcid rain has started falling! &bRun for shelter!,' then after I save and reload, it will revert to "Acid rain has started falling!" This happens to all the configurations. Maybe I am editing the wrong file, I am editing the /plugins/Storm/worlds/world.yml. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I have noticed if you type /acidrain, then /sun, then /acidrain again, or even /thunderstorm, then no rain will actually fall. That is the least of my worries at the moment however. Thank you for the support in advance.

Could you please update the source code. I don't plan on using this plugin or the code but I love the idea of this plugin and I want to know how you did it for educational purposes.

Would you be able to provide a crash report? If not, there is unfortunately no way I can track down the source of the crash.

I accidentally forgot to increment the version in the 1.3.1 build. So though it says it is 1.3.0B, it in fact is the 1.3.1 Storm.

It says that because the update URL hasn't been, well, updated. As for blizzards in the Nether, check your config for that world. Turn off blizzards.

Resource packs replaced texture packs. As far as I'm aware, the file structure for them didn't change after the 1.5 update did that.

Stupid me, I did not think about that. Of course Resource packs aren't texture packs or are they? Does the pics need o be renamed or something? Will it work in the next update?

Yes, this is supposed to happen.
@deleted_7536780
Can I get a copy of the config for that world? It might not be the problem, but it might be. It would also be nice if you put this on pastie or pastebin next time, please.
@deleted_7536780
Storm respects the weather set by the server, but it causes rain when thunderstorms, acid rain, or blizzards start. In other words, the rain won't stop with the event, but it'll stop on it's own pace.
@mattataki
Weird, we'll have to check that. Anyways, resource packs aren't implemented into Bukkit or Spigot yet, so sending textures via the server wouldn't work yet anyways, unfortunately. If you need it for an older server version, though, that's understandable.
