Well, fear no more my friend because with this plugin you can make it act more realistically!<\/p>\n<p>Introducing: **Better Snowier Snow**!<\/p>\n<p>This plugin is inspired by the Snowier Snow plugin by hobblyhobo. If you have a moment go check<br \/>\nhis plugin as well!<\/p>\n<p># \ud83d\udd27 How it works<br \/>\nBetter 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.<br \/>\nFor 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&#8217;s snowing!<\/p>\n<p># \u2699 Configuring<br \/>\nThe configuration file allows you to configure different aspects of the plugin<\/p>\n<p>**snowGravity**: Enable gravity features for snow layers and snow blocks<\/p>\n<p>**noMeltInColdBiomes**: If true, snow won&#8217;t melt in cold biomes<\/p>\n<p>**meltAboveLightLevel**: The minimum light level at which snow will melt<\/p>\n<p>**noSnowyGrassDecay**: If true, snowy grass won&#8217;t decay<\/p>\n<p>**noSnowyGrassSpread**: If true, grass won&#8217;t spread if is snowy<\/p>\n<p>**slownessOnSnow**: If true, players will get the slowness effect while walking on snow blocks or layers<\/p>\n<p>**slownessMinLayers**: The minimum amount of layers to apply the slowness effect to players when they walk on it<\/p>\n<p>**slownessStrength**: The slowness level the player will get<\/p>\n<p>**slownessSneakingPrevent**: If true, players won&#8217;t get the slowness effect (if active) when they are sneaking<\/p>\n<p>**snowChancePercentage**: The chance of snow layers to be posed<\/p>\n<p>**snowPoseFrequency**: How often snow should be placed while snowing<\/p>\n<p>**snowPoseWorlds**: List of worlds where the plugin has effect<\/p>\n<p>**snowPoseMaxLayers**: The maximum number of snow layers that will be posed when snowing<\/p>\n<p>**snowPoseBlocks**: On how many blocks snow layers can be posed every tick while snowing<\/p>\n<p>**snowPoseIgnoredChunks**: List of chunk rectangular regions where the plugin won&#8217;t have effect.<br \/>\nThe string syntax is the following: **&lt;start chunk x&gt;,&lt;start chunk y&gt;,&lt;end chunk x&gt;,&lt;end chunk y&gt;,&lt;prevent also vanilla layer from posing&gt;**<\/p>\n<p>To add just one chunk to the list just set both start chunk and end chunk coordinates to the same<\/p>\n<p>**snowMeltPercentage**: The chance of snow to be melt<\/p>\n<p>**snowMeltMinLayers**: The minimum amount of snow layers that can be left after melting<\/p>\n<p>**metrics**: Enable bStats metrics. This **does not collect any personal\/sensitive information**. If enabled you need bStats installed<\/p>\n<p># \ud83d\udcdc Requirements<br \/>\nBetter Snowier Snow does not require any additional plugin or mod to run, other than Spigot itself.<\/p>\n<p># \u2714 Compatibility<br \/>\nBetter Snowier Snow has been built on top of **Spigot API-version 1.13** and has been tested on **Minecraft 1.16.4**.<\/p>\n<p>Unless some major changes happens on either Spigot API or Minecraft itself, the plugin should work on newest versions as well.<\/p>\n<p>If you find any bug related to a new version of one of these, please report them to the Issue Tracker.<\/p>\n<p>A Sponge port is also in development.<\/p>\n<p># \ud83d\udc68\ud83c\udffc\u200d\ud83d\udcbb How to contribute<br \/>\nYou can contribute by forking this project and making Pull Requests. Just make sure<br \/>\nthat the additions are in line with the plugin philosophy, which is to bring an almost vanilla experience to players.<\/p>\n<p># \ud83d\udda5 Downloads<\/p>\n<p>You can download Better Snowier Snow from the Versions page or from Curseforge.<\/p>\n<p>You can also download Better Snowier Snow from the Spigot page<\/p>\n<p>These are the only places where I directly upload new releases. Every other website shouldn&#8217;t be trusted.<\/p>\n<p># \ud83c\udf7a Support the project<br \/>\nDeveloping and maintaining this plugin requires some time and effort, but after all I really enjoy doing this \u2764<\/p>\n<p>This plugin is **FREE TO USE** and will ALWAYS be. If someone asked you some money, you got scammed! \ud83d\ude25 <\/p>\n<p>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:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uploads-ssl.webflow.com\/5c14e387dab576fe667689cf\/61e11d503cc13747866d338b_Button-2.png\" width=660 height=100 alt=\"Buy Me A Beer\"><\/p>\n<p>Any other websites asking you money for this project is a scam, and you should immediately report it! \ud83d\ude21<\/p>\n<p># \ud83d\udcd6 Credits<br \/>\nAll credits go to **hobblyhobo** for creating the Snowier Snow plugin.<br \/>\nThis plugin is amazing, however I felt like some features were missing. Also, some might not like how the snow poses in his plugin,<br \/>\nso that&#8217;s why this uses a different approach (that leads to smoother snow formations).<\/p>\n<p>Also thanks to TRUEC0DER for addressing an issue with the SnowMelt Event that makes any block prevents from disappearing<\/p>\n<p># \ud83d\ude01 In conclusion<\/p>\n<p>I hope you like Better Snowier Snow and make it grow!
