Ancient Realms: Snowy Leaves gives exposed tree leaves in cold Overworld biomes a persistent, natural winter appearance. Eligible chunks are scanned once and remembered, while newly grown trees are updated instantly without repeatedly scanning the same terrain.
Features:
- True two-pixel-high snow caps with a four-sided snowy foliage overlay.
- Preserves native vanilla leaf blocks and shapes.
- Optional native compatibility with Bushy Leaves Remake, preserving its original bushy geometry beneath the snow.
- Snow caps can be permanently removed by players, explosions, or placed lava, but do not melt in sunlight.
- Vanilla-style drops: one snowball when broken normally, or one snow layer with Silk Touch.
- No unrelated gameplay systems or experimental toggles required.
Bushy Leaves Remake is optional and installed separately:
"Ancient Realms: Bushy Leaves Remake" (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft-bedrock/addons/ancient-realms-bushy-leaves-remake)
When using both addons, activate both BP/RP pairs and keep the Snowy Leaves Resource Pack above Bushy Leaves Remake in the resource-pack stack.
Ancient Realms: Snowy Leaves v1.0.13
Compatibility
- Added and verified compatibility with Ancient Realms: Bushy Leaves Remake v1.22.
- Added and verified compatibility with Ancient Realms: Tree Capitator v2.7.1.
- All three add-ons can now be used together in the same world.
- Bushy Leaves retain their original custom geometry beneath the two-pixel snow caps and four-sided snowy overlays.
- Both integrations are optional—Snowy Leaves continues to work normally with vanilla leaves when the other add-ons are not installed.
Fixes and Improvements
- Fixed snow caps and overlays remaining suspended in the air after their supporting leaves were removed.
- Snow caps and overlays now break and disappear instantly together with their supporting leaf.
- This behavior also applies when leaves are removed by Tree Capitator, natural decay, explosions or other block-removal events.
- No detached snow cap or floating snowy overlay is left behind.
- Improved support validation for snow caps placed above vanilla, snowy and Bushy leaf variants.
- Manually removed snow caps remain removed and are not recreated by later scans.
- Snow caps removed by explosions or lava are also prevented from immediately respawning.
- Snow caps remain persistent and do not melt from sunlight.
- Directly breaking a snow cap preserves its established drops:
- Normal breaking drops 1 Snowball
- Silk Touch drops 1 Snow Layer
- Preserved the stable automatic cold-biome scanner.
- Preserved one-time chunk scanning and instant conversion for newly grown sapling trees.
- Preserved the established two-pixel snow cap and four-sided snowy leaf overlay.
