- Configurable maximum snow height (default: 16 layers)
- Adjustable chunk radius around players (default: 8 chunks)
- Customizable accumulation speed (default: 20 ticks, ~1 second)
- Configurable blocks per chunk and chunks per tick for performance tuning

- Accurate height limit enforcement with proper layer counting
