It's Raining!

The direct download link supports Minecraft versions 1.18 to 1.20.4. Older Minecraft versions are available on GitHub.

This data pack was created for relqxd's request.

In this data pack, it's always raining. Raining too much. Water will slowly move up, into your mineshaft and then to the ground, and pushing you up and up – until you reach height 255, when invisible blocks make sure you can't go further.

When the game starts, you cannot move and can only make some configurations. If you don't see the configuration items, run /reload.

The book controls the display of information in the side of the screen, disabled by default. Drop it to show the information, then drop again to rehide it and so on. When enabled, the following information will be shown:

speed: The water is moving up every amount of ticks that equals to this number. Configurable, default to 1200. 20 ticks are a second, 1200 ticks are a minute. Notice that the higher the number is, the slower the water moves and the lower the number is the faster the water moves. Don't change this to below 600.
bottom: The current Y position of the water. Configurable before the game starts, in order to change the start height.
timer: The timer that controls the water. After you start, this increases by one each tick and when it reaches the speed (see above) it resets to 0 and the water moves up.
active: 1 if the timer is moving, 0 if not.

Some more configuration (speed, and bottom) are available using commands. Read above to see what they mean. The syntax to configure an option is:
scoreboard players set <option> raining_water <amount>Replace <option> with the name of the option you wish to configure and <amount> with the number you wish it to be. For example, this causes the water to move every two minutes, instead of one:
scoreboard players set speed raining_water 2400This causes the water to start on Y 30 instead of 0:
scoreboard players set top raining_water 30
After everything is configured, drop the water bucket to start and good luck!
