Particles turn grey when it rains

all particles from raining and the rain itself turn grey when it’s raining

That's an intentional change.

Look closely at rain drops in the real world. You'll notice they don't look blue, but are rather gray-ish. But why does sea look blue then? This is because when a ray of white light goes through a thick body of water, red and green light will be absorbed by water, and only blue light will pass through. The same effect would theoretically happen while going through a rain drop, the effect isn't noticeable to human eyes because of the amount of absorbed energy being too low.

In the vanilla Minecraft, rain drops are indeed very blue-ish. I found it too unrealistic and ugly, which is why I changed it.

Oh wait, your point is that every particle turn gray, not only rain drops? That's indeed a bug which is currently unfixable. I think there's already a ticket for that.

The problem is that the game engine doesn't tell the particle shader about the type of particle to be rendered. The shader can't tell rain drops from torch smoke for this reason.

Nope, there doesn't seem to exist. Reopening.

Hi. Is there a way in the to disable the change of rain from blue to gray in the configuration file? I would rather have my particles unchanged during the rain.
