Snow! Real Magic! ⛄
This compact modification significantly expands the standard behavior of snow layers in Minecraft, making winter landscapes more realistic and interactive.
Main Features
With this mod, you can:
- Place snow and fences/walls/tall grass in the same block simultaneously
- Watch snow layers fall like sand, turning into ice upon contact with water sources
- Observe gradual snow accumulation during snowstorms
- Use reduced collision boundaries for snow layers, similar to the Bedrock edition
- Reduce fall damage when landing on snow
- Always replace snow with other blocks
- Create snowballs by crouching and right-clicking on a snow layer
- Prevent snow from melting (disabled by default)
- Allow snow to fall on ice (disabled by default)
- And much more!
All features can be disabled in the configuration settings.
Important: For versions <=1.20.1, Indium installation is required for compatibility with Sodium.
