🌈 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.

📜 Changes

• 0.2.2 Its test command for Claude Tools (rainbow ...) follows the game's cheat rule: a rainbow now, stopping it and giving the blessing work only in single player, for the host or with devcommands; status still works for everyone.
• 0.2.1 A new id, com.quad.rainbows (it was com.dhack.rainbows): your settings move over by themselves the first time it starts, and the old settings file is kept as a backup. Restart the game after this update. If an old copy is still installed beside it, this one stands down and says which file to delete, so the two never both run. The DLL now says it was made with AI, as Thunderstore asks.
• On a server, how often rainbows come (chance, how long it must rain, how long to wait for the sun, double rainbows) and how long the blessing lasts are the server's settings. It must rain at least 10 seconds, and the blessing lasts at most 30 minutes. The chime now follows the game's sound effects volume.
• Fix: no more stutter every 5 seconds. Looking for Claude Tools searched everything the game had loaded; it now asks BepInEx's list of mods.
• New: Rainbows. When the rain stops and the sun is low, a rainbow arcs across the sky (sometimes a double rainbow), and looking up at it gives Rainbow's Blessing: more stamina and health back, cheaper running and jumping, and half as strong again for a double rainbow.
