Preventing Rain

To stop rain from happening in the first place, you need to turn off the weather cycle gamerule. On Bedrock Edition you can do this in your settings (you will need to enable cheats). On Java and Bedrock Edition you can also type this command: “/gamerule doWeatherCycle false”. This will disable the weather cycle.

If you are able to sleep, when you wake up when the weather will be clear. The other way to stop rain is to simply use cheats by typing the following command: “/weather clear”.
