Just have rare random weather events happen from time to time.
(The blue text is normal weather, which was mostly from Kurobit's post, and the red text is natural disasters.):
Rain: Clouds cover the sky and turn grey. rain will cause mushrooms to grow in various places outside, and if it doesn't stop, it would eventually start flooding the water. (There should be a limit on how high it can get though)
Snow: It would change the blocks textures (ex: the grass would turn white), the trees would loose their leaves, and the sky would turn whitish-gray. It will eventually start to freeze the top layer of water, and if it lasts a long time, it will kill off some plants, and will start damaging you if you don't have a roof over your head.
Hail: You would have to hide under something or else you would slowly start to take damage.
Droughts: Would lower the water up to 2 or 3 blocks. Happens when rain is absent for long periods of time. Eventually starts killing off plants... (Also, it would change the color of the sky to a slightly more orange/yellow color)
High Winds: Would make your player constantly slide in a certain direction unless blocks are blocking the wind. It pushes you even more in the air.
Dust storm: Forced highest fog setting.
Also, some weather events can happen at the same time such as winds and snow, which would cause the usual things to occur, but the winds will hurt you because of the extreme cold.
Tornado: Forms somewhere on the map. and tears up trees, buildings, and kills some mobs in its way.
Earthquake: Destroys some trees and some buildings, kills some mobs, and changes the map slightly.
Flood: Water raises 1-5 blocks for a period of time.
Volcano Eruption: Kills trees and grass around it. Some lava on the surface for a while.
Meteorite shower: blocks fall from the sky for a short time, possibly creating craters, and spawning a new ore type.
Godzilla Attack!: Giant moster rampages theough the map, destroying everything in it's path.
Aliens:UFO comes down, temporarily spawns an alien with a ray gun. While on the ground, it would shoot anything within range. If you killed it, you'd get rare drops. Also the ship could shoot downward lazers at anything below it, destroying some terrain.
Good? Bad? Got similar Ideas?
EDIT: added meteorite shower and godzilla attack.
EDIT2: added normal weather stuff from Kurobit's post.
EDIT3: added aliens, edited it a bit to make it shorter, and added the UFO lazer part.
Weather event? I think you're meaning natural disaster! But yeah, it's a good idea. When one of these rare events occur everyone will have to work together to survive/protect each other and the base from destruction. I like the image of earthquakes splitting the land in two, the split having a far-down pit of lava at the bottom. Friends could get separated and would have to find a way to reunite. There would be the possibility of underground caves being opened and revealed by the split. Things like this really give me an adventurous mood.
Of course, normal weather events should definitely occur. Things like rain, sunshine, clouds, lightning, night, dawn, dusk... I would love Minecraft 500% as much if those happened.

Can't get wood, eh? I think they make pills for that.
I have some suggestions for weather....
1 Mushroom rain mushrooms spawn randomly in the rain like in rl
2 creeper rain more creepers spawn in rain (cuz they look like plants)
3 Armagedon! lava blocks randomly rains down from the sky sits for three seconds then vanishes(no duplicating) See I told you the roof was a good idea!
I was thinking about this earlier today and decided to finally join the forums to talk about it, but obviously i was beaten to it. I would also like to pitch the idea of a meteor falling and destroying quite a bit in its wake, but leaving ultra rare space material for us to scavenge and use to make our super awesome space base.

Groups of dark storm clouds could spawn at random in tight clusters at the top of the map, and they'd basically be non-aggressive invincible flying mobs that disappeared after a bit. The clouds would shoot out arrows that traveled in straight lines and hit a random target instantly. Maybe they could target whatever is highest up and not made of dirt or stone (including mobs and players). This could be especially awesome if fire is ever added.
this needs to be done. someone should do a "DISCUSS!..." on this...
meteor shower would leave a new liquid like lava, but metalic in color. and cools into a metal that can be used to make good swords (better than steel). that is... when crafting is put in

Why would someone need to do a "discuss" on this? It's perfectly fine how it is, people are on topic, and when Critic adds the rating system, it'll be good to rate this topic seeing as it's about something specific unlike the "discuss" threads which are about several things. So no, no one should do a "discuss" on this...

Just throwing out random Ideas :tongue.gif:... It turned out a lot less "simple" than I meant for it to x_x...

True, but there'll probably be a warning first, like dark clouds or something.

This.
Also, Godzilla scenario? (I'm thinking SimCity natural disasters)
