Have you ever felt like snow in Minecraft isn't quite right? Well, fear no more my friend because with this plugin you can make it act more realistically!
Introducing: Better Snowier Snow!
This plugin is inspired by the Snowier Snow plugin by hobblyhobo. If you have a moment go check his plugin as well!
Better Snowier Snow provides a simple configuration tool that allows you to change the behaviour of Powder Snow, Snow Blocks and Snow Layers, to make them act more realistically. For instance, you can give them gravity, so they will fall when the block below is broken, or you can make them stack up when it's snowing!
The configuration file allows you to configure different aspects of the plugin
snowGravity: Enable gravity features for snow layers and snow blocks
noMeltInColdBiomes: If true, snow won't melt in cold biomes
meltAboveLightLevel: The minimum light level at which snow will melt
noSnowyGrassDecay: If true, snowy grass won't decay
noSnowyGrassSpread: If true, grass won't spread if is snowy
slownessOnSnow: If true, players will get the slowness effect while walking on snow blocks or layers
slownessMinLayers: The minimum amount of layers to apply the slowness effect to players when they walk on it
slownessStrength: The slowness level the player will get
slownessSneakingPrevent: If true, players won't get the slowness effect (if active) when they are sneaking
snowChancePercentage: The chance of snow layers to be posed
snowPoseFrequency: How often snow should be placed while snowing
snowPoseWorlds: List of worlds where the plugin has effect
snowPoseMaxLayers: The maximum number of snow layers that will be posed when snowing
snowPoseBlocks: On how many blocks snow layers can be posed every tick while snowing
snowPoseIgnoredChunks: List of chunk rectangular regions where the plugin won't have effect. The string syntax is the following: <start chunk x>,<start chunk y>,<end chunk x>,<end chunk y>,<prevent also vanilla layer from posing>
To add just one chunk to the list just set both start chunk and end chunk coordinates to the same
snowMeltPercentage: The chance of snow to be melt
snowMeltMinLayers: The minimum amount of snow layers that can be left after melting
metrics: Enable bStats metrics. This does not collect any personal/sensitive information. If enabled you need bStats installed
Better Snowier Snow does not require any additional plugin or mod to run, other than Spigot itself.
Better Snowier Snow has been built on top of Spigot API-version 1.13 and has been tested on Minecraft 1.16.4.
Unless some major changes happens on either Spigot API or Minecraft itself, the plugin should work on newest versions as well.
If you find any bug related to a new version of one of these, please report them to the Issue Tracker.
A Sponge port is also in development.
You can contribute by forking this project and making Pull Requests. Just make sure that the additions are in line with the plugin philosophy, which is to bring an almost vanilla experience to players.
You can download Better Snowier Snow from the CurseForge page or from Modrinth.
You can also download Better Snowier Snow from the Spigot page
These are the only places where I directly upload new releases. Every other website shouldn't be trusted.
Developing and maintaining this plugin requires some time and effort, but after all I really enjoy doing this ❤
This plugin is FREE TO USE and will ALWAYS be. If someone asked you some money, you got scammed! 😥
But if you want to show some support to the project (or just buy me some beer to produce more code), Ko-Fi is the only way:
Any other websites asking you money for this project is a scam, and you should immediately report it! 😡
All credits go to hobblyhobo for creating the Snowier Snow plugin. This plugin is amazing, however I felt like some features were missing. Also, some might not like how the snow poses in his plugin, so that's why this uses a different approach (that leads to smoother snow formations).
Also thanks to TRUEC0DER for addressing an issue with the SnowMelt Event that makes any block prevents from disappearing
I hope you like Better Snowier Snow and make it grow! Peace! 😁
