On Friday, I spent over an hour in a car with torrential rain hammering on the roof and pretty limited visibility.
It was less annoying than Minecraft rain, by far.
If it was brief showers, with less noise and rarely/never more than an in-game hour, that'd be fine - still cause snow in snowy places, without annoying everyone too much.
Is anyone else having a problem with the nether? I can't seem to dig anything, it just pops right back into existence (not after a few seconds like when its lagging, but instantly.)
I need more glowstone!
