Rain often occurs temporarily at random moments during Minecraft gameplay; however, if you want rain stopped, you can disable this weather feature by enabling cheats and entering the appropriate commands.

  1. You can only stop rain by creating a new world and enabling cheats.
    • Rain can only be stopped on the PC version of Minecraft, unless you install custom Minecraft mods developed by third parties on your gaming console. Before installing custom Minecraft mods on your system, contact the developer to verify whether rain can be stopped at any time using that particular mod.
