I've had this idea, or well, few ideas, bouncing around in my head for a while now. This update would have multiple features, starting with rain. Yes, we already have rain. But I'm thinking about different levels of rain. Gentle sprinkling and light showers, to heavy downfalls! Next up would be fog/mist. Some days can be met with the fog effect, and clouds just above water level. Perhaps some biomes like the swamp could have fog more frequently than others. Another idea would be to add fireflies to certain biomes (ie all forests, swamps, plains, but not snowy biomes!) The fireflies would be very small, almost single green flashing pixels, and could be bottled and the bottles could be used as a light source! They could create a different kind of lantern with a greenish hue, or just have the bottle placed in an item frame and be able to produce a faint light! Now, my final, and biggest idea for the environmental update! Rainbows. Yes, rainbows! After some thunderstorms, rainbows can appear, along with a loot chest at each end! Maybe even a cauldron of gold! You could also have the potential to right-click on the rainbow with a bottle in hand, to get a bottled rainbow! This item could be used for special potions or just be drank as is for some sort of boost. (Imagine how good adding Rainbows would look for Mojang if they added it during Pride Month,)
These are just my ideas, I would love to hear some thoughts and opinions!

You couldn't have split those ideas into multiple paragraphs, could you? Do you want to read your post now that you've written it?

Eh, I can get behind this. Mild Support.

Mmmmmmmmm I'm not sure how much I like this one. Clouds above the water level seems like it wouldn't look anywhere close to realistic. Maybe lowering render distance a tad?

Eh... The [two, maybe three or four] bugs in Minecraft are all giant, why are fireflies the exception?

Well, faint light sources sound semi-useful, so I guess I kinda support the idea.

Mmmmmm perhaps but gold doesn't have a use at the moment. Also, this would mean that after every few thunderstorms, random loot chests are placed all over the terrain.
You could also have the potential to right-click on the rainbow with a bottle in hand, to get a bottled rainbow! This item could be used for special potions or just be drank as is for some sort of boost.
Like what? Also, this sounds like an incredibly tedious potion to make considering you need to be holding a lot of glass bottles when a rainbow just so happens to appear.

It would cause needless controversy and mildly please people who weren't asking for it in the first place?

Eh.
These ideas aren't all necessarily bad or detrimental but none of them are really special either. The format you've put them in is really sloppy and hard-to-read.

My avatar is a texture from a small block game I made in Python. It's not very good and it probably won't work if you install it.
I'm very alone in my Minecraft worlds as I don't have a very good internet connection to run a server. If you're like me, you might be interested in my Posse mod suggestion.

i'd love fog. also, weather particular to specific biomes, i.e. mirages in the desert.
