🌈 Rainbows

Version 0.2.2 · all the mods · install it from Thunderstore (r2modman, Thunderstore Mod Manager) or the in-game mod manager (F7)

When a good spell of rain ends and the sun is low, a rainbow arcs across the sky opposite the sun, with a soft chime. Now and then it is a double rainbow, with a fainter second bow outside it. It follows the sun, fades into the horizon and goes after a few minutes. Look up at it for Rainbow's Blessing: stamina and health come back faster and running and jumping cost less; a double rainbow gives a stronger one. Only you need it, and nothing is saved in the world.

🔍 How it works

Rainbows: a rainbow after the rain, and a blessing for looking up at it.

What is in it

• When a good spell of rain ends and the sun is low (morning or evening), a rainbow arcs across the sky opposite the sun. Three times in ten it is a double rainbow, with a fainter second one outside it, its colours the other way round. It fades in with a soft chime, follows the sun as it moves, fades into the horizon, and fades out after a few minutes or when the sun climbs too high. If the rain stops with the sun too high, it waits a while for the sun to come down.
• Look up at it and you get Rainbow's Blessing for five minutes: stamina comes back 30% faster, health 20% faster, and running and jumping cost 20% less stamina. A double rainbow gives the Double Rainbow's Blessing, half as strong again.

Settings: how often it comes, how long it must have rained, how long it stays, brightness, how often it is a double rainbow, the chime and its volume, and the blessing and how long it lasts.

Only you need it: the sky is drawn for you from the weather the game already has, and nothing is saved in the world.
