Set up True Weathers & Lighting without confusing its modules

Pick visuals or changed gameplay

Workshop item 3813908957 contains ViewpointTrueWeathers and optional ViewpointTrueWeathersGameplay. Do not add both blindly to a live world.

The visual module changes weather presentation and lighting. Gameplay adds regional weather and sandbox-controlled effects, including lightning hazards. Read its author page and agree on the intended rules with friends before enabling it. A client's camera loader is not automatically a configured server runtime.

Find the responsible settings

Settings → Mods → True Weathers & Lighting controls weather effects and the return to Viewpoint's own weather. Lighting/shader controls such as interior brightness live in Viewpoint settings. Compare the same room and weather after each change.

The author lists half-resolution distant rain, snow and fog as a performance option. Lower effects gradually and note the result; no FPS improvement has been measured here. For global blur continue to the diagnostic checklist.

Check updates on a separate world

1. Record which of the two modules is enabled.
2. Confirm local visuals first, then check a second client's intended server setup.
3. Test any Gameplay rules on a backed-up test world, including wetness and weather.
4. If a problem starts after an update, reproduce with the visual-only stack and save the log.

Author compatibility claims and recent player reports are different evidence. A claim that every client sees synchronized weather does not prove your save, shader pack and server were tested together. See client/server responsibilities.
