Season System

❄️🌿 Season System 1.1.1 - Fabric 1.20.1

Version 1.1.1 includes additional improvements for performance, seasonal melting, biome protection, multiplayer stability and configuration options.

⚡ Performance Improvements

• Further optimized seasonal environment calculations.
• Melting and regrowth tasks are now distributed more evenly across players.
• Fixed an issue where certain player counts, especially 4 players, could cause only part of the players to be processed by seasonal maintenance tasks.
• Replaced unnecessary vertical block scans with direct Minecraft heightmap checks.
• Reduced unnecessary block lookups during seasonal melting.
• Maintains staggered player processing to avoid heavy server spikes.
• Disabled seasonal debuff calculations now also skip unnecessary temperature processing for additional performance savings.

❄️ Snow & Ice Biome Protection

• Natural snow and ice in cold or snowy biomes will no longer melt because of other seasons.
• Snow-covered regions now correctly remain snow-covered throughout the year.
• Cold high-altitude areas are also protected where Minecraft considers the location naturally cold enough for snow.
• Seasonal melting now focuses primarily on snow and ice created outside naturally cold regions.

🧊 Improved Seasonal Ice Melting

• Winter-created ice outside snowy or cold biomes now melts faster.
• ☀️ During summer, seasonal ice melts even faster because of the higher seasonal temperatures.
• Spring and autumn use lower melting rates than summer.
• The improved melting system uses direct surface lookups for better performance.
• Flowing water remains protected and will not incorrectly turn into ice.
• 🔥 Water near supported torches remains protected from freezing.

🌡️ Separate Summer & Winter Debuff Settings

• Winter and summer temperature debuffs can now be enabled or disabled separately.
• Added the following configuration options:

winter_temperature_debuffs_enabled=true summer_temperature_debuffs_enabled=true

• Winter temperature penalties can be disabled without affecting summer.
• Summer heat penalties can be disabled without affecting winter.
• Disabling seasonal debuffs also skips unnecessary temperature calculations.
• 🔥 The winter torch movement-speed bonus remains active because it is a positive seasonal effect.

⏸️ Singleplayer Pause Fix

• Seasonal particles now correctly stop while Singleplayer is paused with ESC.
• 🍂 Autumn leaf particles no longer continue falling in the background while paused.
• ❄️ Custom winter snow particles no longer accumulate during pause.
• Fixed large particle bursts occurring after remaining paused for several minutes.
• Pause handling is checked both in the main client tick and inside the individual seasonal particle systems.

🌞 Summer Improvements

• Players inside proper underground caves remain protected from summer heat debuffs.
• Being underneath a small roof, tree or similar obstruction does not incorrectly count as being inside a cave.

🔥 Winter Improvements

• Holding a supported torch in the main hand or off-hand provides warmth.
• Players holding a torch receive a small winter movement-speed bonus.
• Held torches protect players from normal cold movement penalties.

🌨️ Existing Snow Placement Fixes

• Snow will not be placed on Carpets.
• Snow will not be placed on Chests, Trapped Chests or Ender Chests.
• Snow will not be placed on Anvils.
• Snow will not be placed on Enchanting Tables.
• Snow will not be placed on Brewing Stands.
• Snow will not be placed on Fences.
• Existing protection for slabs, stairs, trapdoors, walls and other unsuitable blocks remains active.

🌊 Existing Water Freezing Improvements

• Only full source water blocks can freeze into ice.
• Flowing and partial water levels will not freeze into full ice blocks.
• Water close to supported torches will not freeze.

🔄 Update Checker

• The built-in update checker also works in Singleplayer.
• Update checks are correctly restarted for integrated and dedicated servers.

✅ Recommended Update:
This release is especially recommended for multiplayer servers and players using seasonal snow and ice effects.
