If you are in a snow-filled winter biome in your Minecraft world, you can make it snow with a cheat (game command). Let’s explore how to set the weather to snow.

Requirements

To run game commands in Minecraft, you have to turn cheats on in your world.

Command to Set Weather to Snow

Command in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

In Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac), the syntax to make it snow in a winter biome using the /weather command is:

/weather rain [duration]

Definitions

  • duration is optional. It is the length of time (in seconds) that the weather will be snowy in a winter biome. After this duration, the weather will return to its normal weather cycle.

How to Enter the Command

The easiest way to run a command in Minecraft is within the chat window. The game control to open the chat window depends on the version of Minecraft:

  • For Java Edition (PC/Mac), press the T key to open the chat window.
  • For Pocket Edition (PE), tap on the chat button  at the top of the screen.

2. Type the Command

In this example, we will change the weather to snow with the following command:

/weather rain

Type the command in the chat window. As you are typing, you will see the command appear in the lower left corner of the game window. Press the Enter key to run the command.

Once the cheat has been entered, it will start to snow in your Minecraft world:

You will see the message “Changing to rainy weather” appear in the lower left corner of the game window. This is how to make it snow in Minecraft.
