Immersive Storms

Name: Immersive Storms
Author: TheDeathlyCow

A small client-side mod that adds subtle and immersive fog and particle effects to various biomes, based on the weather.

Sandstorms

Before and after of the sandstorm effect in a Badlands

Deserts, Badlands, and Savannas are now affected by Sandstorms. When it rains in the world, a dense sandy fog will close in and a fierce wind will kick up new dust particles. When thunderstorms roll in, this fog will get even thicker, making it very difficult to see where you are going.

Blizzards

Before and after of blizzards in a Snowy Taiga

Blizzards will now envelop snowy biomes during thundering weather, with a dense snowy fog and fierce wind.

Pale Gardens

Before and after of a Pale Garden during a rain storm

Rain in now Pale Gardens now brings extremely dense fog, a much requested community feature. The color-desaturating nature of this biome now also applies to the rain, making it black and devoid of all colour.

Spooky Fog

Before and after of a Swamp fog during a rain storm

A thick Fog now envelopes Swamps and Dark Forests during rainy weather, similar to the Pale Garden except without the blackend rain.

Ambient Wind

Windswept hills and mountains have been made more windy in all weather conditions. A soft breeze will now carry bits of dust and rock with them. Deserts and badlands have been given this effect too (though the sound is a vanilla thing).

Compatibility

Scorchful: This mod is a standalone extraction of the sandstorm feature from Scorchful and is bundled with that mod as of 1.21.5.
Particle Rain: This mod is also compatible with Particle Rain. Sandstorm particles and sounds will be automatically disabled if Particle Rain is detected. Rain particles will also be made black in the Pale Gardens.
Subtle Effects: Rain will be made black in the Pale Gardens.
Shader Packs: The fog effects of this mod likely do not, and will not ever, work with most shaders packs as they have separate handling for fog. However, the particle and sound effects should work just fine.
Neoforge (Connector): This mod may work with Neoforge via Sinytra connector on versions where it is available; but this will neither be tested for nor supported.
