Turning Seasons — Changelog

v1.1.1 — Winter actually snows + autumn leaves + announcements reach players

Bugfix: winter was raining, not snowing

All three Winter presets used the Rain_Light particle (blue-tinted rain) instead of snow. Now they use real snow, escalating through the season:

• Winter Early → Snow_Light · Winter Mid → Snow_Heavy · Winter Late → Snow_Storm

Autumn now drops leaves

Autumn's generic sparkle particle (Azurewood_Weather) is replaced with Leaves_Autumn_Forest_Wind — drifting autumn leaves.

Bugfix: season-change announcements reached 0 players

The join welcome and the "Season changed to ___" broadcast used Player.sendMessage, which does not exist on Update 5 — so they silently failed (the server log showed "sent to 0 player(s)"). Switched to player.getPlayerRef().sendMessage(...) — PlayerRef is the U5 message receiver (verified against HytaleServer.jar). Players now see season changes and the welcome.

Unchanged

• Spring (rain) and Summer (warm sparkles) presets, the season cycle, persistence, and the /season command (which already worked — it uses a different message channel).

Compatibility

• ServerVersion "*". Weather particle IDs verified against the release Assets.zip.
