"adding rain and snow to 1.5"
http://i.imgur.com/UVNCC.jpg
There’s periodic downfall (snow in snowy areas, rain in others, nothing in deserts) that make the sky darker, hides the sun, moon and stars, and makes everything wet. Ice grows back in cold regions, and snowfall covers the ground when it’s snowing. During rain/snow, there can be occasional thunderstorms with lightning. I haven’t finished the actual lightning bolt yet, but everything else is fairly done.
Once the stats are done and the weather has been tested through, we’ll release 1.5. I’m guessing this will be next week. The piston mod might get added, but it will not be in time for 1.5.
tl;dr adding lighting, snow appears or reappears when/where it snows, and during that storm the light level drops by one... all available in 1.5 which apparently is released next week, also mentioned something about pistons on his tumblr? Dunno what that's all about.
