Random.nextInt(1); only returning 1

This is my minecraft mod algorithm. For some reason it appears that rand.nextInt(1); only returns 1. Why?

public void generate(){
    Random rand = new Random();
    Arrays.fill(wc,null);
    int c = generateCat();//Generates a int of 1-16 randomly
    int i = 0;
    int xi = 0;
    int x = getCoordX();
    int y = getCoordY();
    int maxc = 0;
    boolean d1 = true;
    boolean d2 = false;
    boolean d3 = false;
    boolean d4 = false;
    boolean loop = true;

    wc[0] = new WeatherChunk(world,x,y,c);//Here the starting object is generated
    x=x-1;
    if(rand.nextInt(1)==1){//Here the c value (is supposed to have a 50% chance of reducing) But it never does EVER!?
        c=getHNChunkCat(x,y);
        c--;
        wc[1] = new WeatherChunk(world,x,y,c);//Here the c value (is supposed to have a 50% chance of reducing) But it never does EVER!?
    }else{
        c=getHNChunkCat(x,y);
        wc[1] = new WeatherChunk(world,x,y,c);
    }
    x=x+2;
    if(rand.nextInt(1)==1){
        c=getHNChunkCat(x,y);
        c--;
        wc[2] = new WeatherChunk(world,x,y,c);
    }else{
        c=getHNChunkCat(x,y);
        wc[2] = new WeatherChunk(world,x,y,c);
    }
    x=x-1;
    y++;

    if(rand.nextInt(1)==1){

        c--;

                if(maxc==0){
                    loop=false;
                }
    }

    cleanChunks();
    WEATHER.addChunkArray(wc2);

}

Ive also tried

 wc[1] = new WeatherChunk(world,x,y,(getHNChunkCat()-rand.nextInt(1)));
