What is in it

When a good spell of rain ends and the sun is low (morning or evening), a rainbow arcs across the sky opposite the sun. Three times in ten it is a double rainbow, with a fainter second one outside it, its colours the other way round. It fades in with a soft chime, follows the sun as it moves, fades into the horizon, and fades out after a few minutes or when the sun climbs too high. If the rain stops with the sun too high, it waits a while for the sun to come down.
Look up at it and you get Rainbow's Blessing for five minutes: stamina comes back 30% faster, health 20% faster, and running and jumping cost 20% less stamina. A double rainbow gives the Double Rainbow's Blessing, half as strong again.

Only you need it: the sky is drawn for you from the weather the game already has, and nothing is saved in the world.

👥 Multiplayer

Who needs it: Only the players who want it.

Nothing is saved in the world: each player's game rolls the chance itself, so two players standing together may not both see a rainbow.

The host decides: the chance, how long rain must last, the wait, double rainbows and the blessing's length. While you play on their world their values replace yours (your file isn't changed); a host without the mod leaves everyone their own.

🌍 Languages

English, Русский (Russian), Deutsch (German), 简体中文 (Chinese), Português do Brasil (Portuguese), Español (Spanish), Français (French), Polski (Polish), Türkçe (Turkish). It follows the game's own language setting.

The translations were made with AI, so a few words may be off. To correct one, or to add your language, put a file in BepInEx/config/translations/com.quad.rainbows/ named after the game's name for the language (German.json, Italian.json, Japanese.json...) with only the lines you change, copied from English.json (it wins over the built-in one). Or tell us the better words and we'll put them in for everyone.

⚙️ Settings
