Why do I want it?
If you need to change biomes, grow new forest, or going to allow your players to do it - you must install WeatherMan :) If you need to "curse" any player with unstoppable rain you can find this plugin useful too.
How Do I Install It?
Just copy it in your Plugins folder.
How to use it?
- Install

- Use command /wm replace biome:<biome> fill:true to change biome in your location to new one
- Use command /wm give [biome | woodcutter | depopulator | forester] to obtain all or specified wand.
- Use command /wm wand to enable wand mode (define biome and radius with commands /wm wand biome:<biome> radius:<radius> tree:<tree type> Right-click with magic wand and you'll shoot the snowball that will change the biome around the hit-point, remove or grow trees.
- Create sign with [biome] in second line, radius value in third, and biome names in first and forth lines. You can set word "replace" in third line if you need to replace the full biome. Now you can use redstone power to toggle between two biomes.

Update checker and bStats
WeatherMan includes two features that use your server internet connection. First one is bStats, that used to collect information about the plugin (versions of plugin, of Java.. etc.) and second is update checker, checks new releases of plugin after WeatherMan startup and every half hour. This feature is using API provided by dev.bukkit.org. If you don't like this features you can easy disable it. To disable update checker you need to set parameter "version-check" to "false" in config.yml. Obtain more information about bStats and learn how to switch off it, you can read here.

Under the how to use section under step 5 it says, "(define biome and radius with commands /lwg biome <biome>, /lwg radius <radius> Right-click with magic wand (default item - ghast tears (id - 370))". Those should say /wm instead of /lwg correct?
@Mayhem777 You can check this list by typing command /wm list
This list is generated automatically and includes all possible biome type (excluding deprecated biomes).
Can you make a lsit or all biomes your plugin accepts? thanks!
I love this plugin! Just having technical difficulties... we want to make an entire region into Hell... problem is we dont know how. Can you do a step by step walk through on how to turn a selected region into a biome?
Thank you!
