About RainDance
From ThunderstoreHold an axe and /dance to summon rain. Keep dancing to escalate to a thunderstorm. Server-side detection, client-side weather via custom RPC. All durations and messages configurable.
RainDance
Hold an axe and perform the /dance emote to commune with the rain spirits.
How it works
- Dance with an axe for 10 seconds → Rain is summoned
- Keep dancing for another 10 seconds → Escalates to a ThunderStorm
- Weather lasts 60 seconds then clears automatically
Installation
Server: Drop RainDance.dll into BepInEx/plugins/. Config is generated on first run at BepInEx/config/raindance.cfg.
Clients: Drop RainDance.dll into BepInEx/plugins/. No config needed on the client — the server drives everything. Clients without the mod will still receive the HUD notification but won't see the weather change.
Configuration (server-side)
