I know this is probably a major feature that I'm suggesting, but here me out:

The Weather 2 mod's cloud/weather system is great, but the cloud generation could use some improvements. Right now the sky always seems to be cloudy and the clouds look flat. I'm suggesting that you should add another cloud generation mode (not overhaul the current one because weaker pc's might not be able to handle the new system) which a user can switch over to via an option in the config. This mode will generate more 3D pseudo-volumetric clouds which will randomly change in cloud coverage and altitude, like Skyrim's Real Cloud Mod (you should search this up if you've never heard of it). Rain should also be visible from a distance (like sometimes how you can see a rain shower in a distance in real life), and that rain 'fog' should be thicker and more white during snowstorms or hailstorms, while also during hailstorms and tornadoes, it should take on a more turquoise-ish/green tone. Also, clouds should have varying height/thickness (which the range should be able to be editted in the config), for example thunderstorm cloud or cumulonimbus clouds (the clouds that spawn in with storms) should be taller/thicker then regular or rain shower clouds (which should be taller then regular clouds, but not as tall as thunder clouds). Another thing, with this mode, rain/storms shouldn't just appear out of thin air, in the correct conditions, normal clouds should be able to grow into them, like cumulus clouds grow into thunder clouds in real life. And Finally, lightning shouldn't illuminate the whole sky, only clouds that are within a certain radius of it (which the radius size is random to give the illusion of varying lightning intensity), and thunder clouds should sometimes randomly flash in certain parts to simulate lightning flashing within the cloud itself.

This is probably a lot to implement, and I'm probably asking for a lot here, but wouldn't it be amazing to know that a storm is forming from just how the clouds are shifting/growing? Or to see rain falling in the distance? Or to watch a towering thunderstorm rage over a valley? Or to see a whole line of of dark, tall thunderclouds that are a part of a hurricane advance towards your minecraft base? Or finally to watch an eerie tornado just barely visible inside the precipitating part of the storm?
I know this is just Minecraft, but dang this would be cool to have.

Mod's dead. No point in having this.

Really hope they add this in

Mod's dead?
