Talk:Rain/Archive 1

Why did you revert? Rain works perfectly in creative mode and in multiplayer! --Patrik 17:26, 21 December 2009 (UTC) Copyboy's information is more detailed than yours. You just changed everything into the word "block" while the sentence doesn't make sense. -Psych

It is still incorrect as rain works in all modes and both multiplayer and singleplayer --Patrik 00:15, 22 December 2009 (UTC) Okay, fine, why don't you just add "multiplayer" after Survival in the page? -Psych

Alpha
I'd either like clarification as to whether this is Classic only (I've tested there, and know it works) and clarification added in the page as to whether it's Classic only, or whether it can also be used in Alpha (which I've also tested with F5, at which the game switches between third and first person.) If it can be used in Alpha, tell me how :d. - DuoNoxSol

Rename
Right now, rain does not exist, and has nothing much to say about it even if it does get re-released. So I propose a rename to "Particle Effects" where we can put more information like snow or a future effect, like smoke, haze or hailstorms? :D None of these are accessible in-game in the current version without hacking but since it existed in past and possibly future versions, this article won't hurt. --Scykei 23:17, 26 November 2010 (CST)
 * Classic STILL EXISTS, damnit. ConMan8 05:22, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Concur. Similar needs to be done with Music and Atmos. '''[[User:Aclectasis| A ]] CLECTASIS ''' 00:56, 27 November 2010 (CST)
 * I know that. I mean if we rename it, we can include this information, and more :D --Scykei 02:06, 27 November 2010 (CST)
 * I'm in agreement here. This should be renamed and Classic Rain cleared up. I spent half an hour last night trying to figure out how to make it rain in Alpha. (I only now came up with a possible solution.) --DuoNoxSol11:23, 27 November 2010 (EST)

Beta 1.5
It says "rain will be temporial", does that mean that Notch will remove it again or that it only happens at random times? Cool12309(T 18:45, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Happens at random times. C ali nou - talk × contribs » 19:07, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Rain on sand
It seems, that rain does not fall on sand (only where the sand was originaly created by game, not put by player). Can you confirm this? Onnz 16:24, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I confirmed it does fall on sand. My whole front yard is sand and/or sandstone, so it does rain. Cool12309(T 00:37, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Picture
Can someone post a picture of rain falling above cloud level? --TelephoneKiosk 00:36, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Charged creepers
I took the liberty to remove charged creepers, as it seems like a troll, since there is absolutely no evidence. Please don't put it back before proof is presented. Thank you. TheKax 16:03, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I have to take it back, it seems this really might be true. See refs. -- TheKax 16:46, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Small holes?
Does rain fill small holes? That was a rumor before the release but it's still a "maybe" in this article. Yomikoma 16:03, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I experimented with ~30 single block holes over 2 rain periods and no holes were filled. I removed the unsubstantiated rumor from the article.  Feel free to add it back if anyone actually succeeds in producing evidence for it. --meioziz 16:16, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
 * (noting this was in single player - did not test on server) --meioziz 16:17, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Lightning and its effects.
Anyone know what else it affects? IE. does it hit players? And how much damage does it do? Dctrjons 16:35, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
