Snow! Real Magic! ⛄

This simple tweak mod can enrich the vanilla snow layer's behavior.

With this mod you can:

• Place snow and fence/wall/tallgrass in the same block!
• The snow layer will fall like sand. If it touches the water source, it will become ice!
• The snow layer will accumulate during a snowstorm!
• The snow layer will have a thinner bounding box like in the Bedrock edition!
• Reduce fall damage on snow!
• Make snow always replaceable by other blocks!
• Crouch + right-click snow to make a snowball
• Make snow never melt (disabled by default)
• And more!

All features can be disabled in the config.

<=1.20.1: To work with Sodium, you need to install Indium.
