Minecraft Weather Command Generator
The /weather command takes a state and an optional duration — leave the duration off and the game picks a random span, after which the cycle flips the sky back. Set clear, rain or thunder here with an explicit duration, and pair it with gamerule doWeatherCycle false when a map needs the weather to stay put.
- clear, rain and thunder states
- Explicit duration instead of a random span
- Version-aware output for Java and Bedrock
FAQ
How do I stop the weather from changing back?
Give /weather an explicit duration, and set gamerule doWeatherCycle false so the cycle never overrides it. Without a duration the game picks a random span and then flips the sky on its own.
What are the /weather states?
clear, rain and thunder. thunder also drives lightning and hostile spawns tied to storms; rain is precipitation without lightning.
Is the /weather duration in ticks or seconds?
Seconds on modern Java (for example /weather rain 300 is five minutes). The generator writes the value in the unit your selected version expects.
