Hello, my players have recently found a bug involving tridents and /pweather on our server, we recently decided to give everyone /pweather on the server and we found this out. Basically when you put Riptide on a trident, do /pweather storm when it's not actually raining or is a storm, you can use the Riptide effect to fly around everywhere and abuse the glitch to use the effect forever. This is pretty overpowered and might cause us to disable pweather.

Both pweather and ptime change how players perceive the state of the server client-side. So actually for them it is "actually raining", regardless of what the weather actually should be for them. I would say this falls into expected behavior of the command, and is not a bug. You can disable the command if you do not want players controlling their weather.

Yeah but like you can literally infinitely fly around when it's not raining for anybody else using a trident, so infinite fly time for tridents, pweather is supposed to be local to your player when flying around in tridents infinitely is not local and seems more like a bug and not the expected behavior

From what I recall, riptide is done client side and the server doesn't validate whether they're in a world that is actually raining.

For now, the solution is to only allow players you trust to use /pweather.
