Everlasting Winter
Everlasting Winter brings endless snowfall to your world. The snow piles up layer by layer and slowly buries grass, crops, paths and trees. You choose which biomes freeze, how deep the snow gets and what it covers.
Features
Endless snowfall
- It keeps snowing without a break. Turn it off at any time and the normal weather returns
- A simple list of biome IDs decides where winter comes. 40 biomes are included by default
- The listed biomes are made cold enough for snow. Vanilla snowy biomes get the stacking snow too
- While the endless snowfall is on, it rains without a break in warm biomes that are not on the list. Dry biomes like deserts and savannas stay dry
Snow that piles up
- Snow grows one layer at a time. After 8 layers it becomes a snow block and keeps growing
- The maximum height is up to you, from a single layer to many blocks deep
- Snow only settles where a normal snow layer could stay, so iron bars, glass panes, chains and fences stay clear
Snow on and under trees
- Snow settles on the leaves and still reaches the ground under the tree
- Leaves have their own height limit, so trees still look like trees
The world gets buried
- Snow can cover short grass, flowers, tall plants, small mushrooms, sweet berry bushes, crops and torches
- Farmland and dirt paths turn into dirt under the snow
- Torches drop as items instead of disappearing
- Each of these can be switched on or off on its own
Powder snow
- Optional: deep snow can turn into powder snow, a hidden trap under the surface
- Never forms on leaves or tree trunks
No burning undead
- While it snows, zombies and skeletons don't burn in daylight under the open sky
Live control
- Change every setting in-game with a command, no restart needed
- Other mods can read and change the settings through a small API
