Rain and Herocraft

As most of us know, rain is a highly obnoxious part of the game, noisy and distracting, as well as laggy to some. I don't mind rain that much personally, however as of the 1.8 beta update, anytime I sprint in the rain for more than thirty-seconds, My game will go skybox blue, or orange depending on the time of day, and promptly crash.

The problem I have here, is that I cannot log back in after one of those unique crashes. Any time I try to reconnect, I crash within ten-seconds of reconnecting. Further more, the rain on Herocraft lasts for an incredibly long time.

What I'm suggesting here is one of two things:
  1. A solution to my, and possibly others, problem with rain, as it is game breaking and prevents me from using the server for up to thirty or more minutes, occasionally into over an hour.
  2. Shorten the length of rain in Herocraft significantly, and also decrease the frequency at which it occurs, as if there is no rain, there is no source of problem, simple enough.

I'm game for ZERO rain for no lag, server and client alike. It's not like rain really partakes in the HC experience anyways. :/

Rain has no benefits. Whatsoever. All it does is annoy the hell out of everyone and cause lag. It even falls through blocks, which sucks too. Sure it blocks out the sun and causes mobs to spawn which makes the server more hardcore, but you don't have to get rid of the overcast!

It would not be hard to remove just the rain animation, I am not sure if it is possible to do from the server and not our client though...

Actually st3p, it's the rain class. I tested removing the texture and got a texture error (which I should have seen coming) but I crashed all the same.

The immerse value of rain is a good thing. The crashing / etc needs to be reported to notch/jeb or bukkit.

I havent had any crashes with it - but I havent done thorough testing - I'll look into it later

Rain prevents fires. So fireball, (old bolt), and im going to guess blaze, etc are all skills that are hurt by rain. Unless this has been changed?
