This is a mirror of Immersive Snow, by Straywave. I have permission to reupload this content. Find the main page here.

Features:

• Snow recalculation upon chunk loading. No more winter chunks in the summer!
• Changing day cycle duration depending on the season. Longer nights in the winter.

Compatibility:

• Serene Seasons (Forge)
• Fabric Seasons (Fabric)

Hourglass integration requires Forge and Serene Seasons. It will overwrite your daySpeed and nightSpeed to match the current season, however you can set a hourglassDaySpeed / hourglassNightSpeed in the configuration file if you wish. If you want, you can disable it entirely in the configuration. (Hourglass for 1.16.5 is on CurseForge)

Performance:

In 1.1.0, performance was significantly increased by only updating blocks when they need an update (i.e. grass blocks). Also, call to Biome.shouldFreeze has been removed, as it was a major source of lag and always returned false anyway.

As a coarse benchmark (totally unscientific), after flying around and generating chunks in Creative, the mod only used 0.99% of the Server Thread according to Spark Profiler.

Immersive Snow

Small tweaks that add to Minecraft's Winter theme. Intended for use with a season mod.

Features:

• Snow recalculation upon chunk loading. No more winter chunks in the summer!
• Changing day cycle duration depending on the season. Longer nights in the winter.

Compatibility

The mod is not intended for use on its own. Whilst it will run by itself, it won't do much. The following mods are supported for integrations:

• Season Mods: Snow will follow season temperature and recalculate in all chunks when the season changes.
  • Serene Seasons (Fabric/Forge/NeoForge)
  • Fabric Seasons (Fabric)
  • Changing Day Cycle: requires both a Season Mod above, and Better Days.
    • Better Days (Fabric/NeoForge) (note: currently the integration is implemented by rewriting the daySpeed and nightSpeed configuration at runtime. To configure the day and night speed, use this mod's betterDaysDaySpeed and betterDaysNightSpeed options.)
  • Snow recalculation is also compatible with Snow Real Magic, in that blocks like grass, flowers, fences, walls, etc. will be replaced with their snowy variant.

Acknowledgements

This mod is a remake of my private mod BetterSereneSeasons, which was originally a 1.19.2 Forge remake of Serene Tweaks.
