Also, some NPCs like Hobbits wouldn't wander around outside at night. Spawning should be suppressed or reduced in the dark, and those already there should seek shelter if possible (buildings/caves).

It must be possible to detect, where it rains, because the raindrops are not rendered inside a building or below the trees. it is, there is something in the code with "can block see sky" it reports true if there are no other blocks above it on the Y coord, or false if there are (this is most likely how rain works, therefore how something could hide from it
