Weather in Minecraft can sometimes obstruct your vision and prevent you from doing various activities in the game. However, by using a particular command, you can get around this otherwise unavoidable problem.
How to use the Weather command in Minecraft
To change the weather in Minecraft, you will need to use the cheat command /weather with a phrase after it. But before you can use this command, you will need to make sure cheats are activated. To activate cheats, you will have to click the option to do so when creating a new world.
For all platforms, the option to turn cheats on, will be on the same menu where you create a new world as shown above. You can also turn cheats from inside your game world by going to either game options or opening the game to lan.
Once cheats are activated, you can use the following phrases listed below with the /weather command.
- Clear: Typing /weather clear in chat or the console command will stop both rain and thunder and change it to sunny and clear weather. Rain: Typing /weather rain in chat or the console command will make the game start to rain Thunder: Typing /weather thunder in chat or the console command will make the game start to thunder.
