Seasons and Weather Overhaul
A Minecraft Forge Mod for 1.20.1
Four seasons. Real effects. Every world feels alive.
Overview
Seasons and Weather Overhaul adds a full four-season cycle to Minecraft that actually affects how you play. Crops behave differently, water freezes, snow blankets the ground, the sky shifts in color, and particles drift through the air - all tied directly to in-game time.
Features
🌸 Spring
- Cherry blossoms drift through the air
- Ice and snow from Winter melt away
- Crops return to normal growth speed
- Sky takes on a soft green tint
☀️ Summer
- Crops grow faster than usual
- Sky brightens with a warm blue hue
- The world is at its most lush
🍂 Autumn
- Custom Orange and red leaves drift down around you
- Leaf blocks on all trees change color - oak, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak
- Crops slow down significantly
- Sky warms to an amber tint
❄️ Winter
- Snow layers accumulate on the ground around you as you move
- Water surfaces freeze to packed ice
- Crops stop growing entirely
- Snowflakes fall in the open air
- Sky shifts to a cold blue tone
Season Transitions
When a season changes you'll see a colored announcement in chat:
- Spring has arrived!
- Summer has arrived!
- Autumn has arrived!
- Winter has arrived!
HUD
The current season is displayed in the top-left corner of your screen at all times. Can be toggled off in the config.
Configuration
