FakeSnow

Requires ProtocolLib. WorldGuard is highly recommended.

Customize weather behavior in regions.

Make it snow and leave no trace!

(hence the name of the plugin, fake snow)

(shaders not included)

Instructions (WorldGuard):

1. Define a WorldGuard region
2. Run /region flag <id> custom-weather-type <snow/rain/none> effects

• snow: makes the region snow (biome: snowy taiga)

• rain: makes the region rain (biome: plains)

• dust: makes dust fall from the sky (biome: basalt deltas)

• none: makes the region never display any weather effects (biome: void)

  to remove the effect, run /region flag <id> custom-weather-type

3. Run `/fakesnow refreshregions` To make it snowy in an entire world, use __global__ as the region ID.

Without WorldGuard, all "overworld" worlds will be snowy.

Frequently Asked Questions

faq

1. I don't see the snow!
   -> Run /fakesnow refreshregions

2. I still don't see the snow!
   -> This is an issue with how 3D biomes work. Make sure your region is wider and taller than 4 blocks on each side, or the flag isn't being overridden by another region.

3. I can still hear rain splashes!
   -> This is an issue with how 3D biomes work. Extend your region into the ground by at least 4 blocks.

4. I can sometimes see rain!
   -> This is an issue with how 3D biomes work. Extend your region by at least 4 blocks in each side.

Note that...

• The plugin works by intercepting clientbound packets and modifying biome information, so the snow is client-side and your world will not be modified (hopefully!)
• Works best with /region flag <id> weather-lock rain to make region rain permanently
