📖About Better Snowier Snow

❄ BetterSnowierSnow

Better Snowier Snow Logo

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!

🔧 How it works

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!

⚙ Configuring

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

📜 Requirements

Better Snowier Snow does not require any additional plugin or mod to run, other than Spigot itself.

✔ Compatibility

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.

👨🏼‍💻 How to contribute

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.

🖥 Downloads

You can download Better Snowier Snow from the Versions page or from Curseforge.

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.

🍺 Support the project

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:

Buy Me A Beer

Any other websites asking you money for this project is a scam, and you should immediately report it! 😡

📖 Credits

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

😁 In conclusion

I hope you like Better Snowier Snow and make it grow! Peace! 😁
