/weather

Sets the weather. In Bedrock Edition, it can also be used to get current weather.

• Java Edition

weather (clear|rain|thunder) [<duration>]

• Bedrock Edition

weather <clear|rain|thunder> [duration: int]

weather query

clear|rain|thunder

• clear – Set the weather to clear. And it will turn into thunder after the clear weather ends.
• rain – Set the weather to rain (or snowfall in cold biomes). And it will turn into clear after the rain ends.
• thunder – Set the weather to a thunderstorm (or blizzard in cold biomes). And it will turn into clear after the thunder ends.

JE: <duration>: time
BE: duration: int: int

Specifies the time for the specified weather to last.

In Java Edition, if not specified, the duration defaults to a random value. The range of the random value depends on the specified weather type:

• clear - 12000 to 180000 ticks (both inclusive). i.e. 10 to 150 minutes (both inclusive).
• rain - 12000 to 24000 ticks (both inclusive). i.e. 10 to 20 minutes (both inclusive).
• thunder - 3600 to 15600 ticks (both inclusive). i.e. 3 to 13 minutes (both inclusive).

In Bedrock Edition, the time is specified in game ticks. If 0 or not specified, the duration defaults to a random value between 300 seconds and 900 seconds.

In Java Edition, it must be a single-precision floating-point number suffixed with a unit. It must be not less than 1 gameticks. Units include:

• d: an in-game day, 24000 gameticks;
• s: a second, 20 gameticks;
• t (default and omitable): a single gametick; the default unit.

The time is set to the closest integer after unit conversion to gametick. For example. .5d is same as 12000 gameticks.
In Bedrock Edition it must be a [Int] 32-bit integer number. And it should be between 0 and 1000000 (inclusive).
