🌍 About Season System

Season System adds a complete seasonal cycle to Minecraft. Your world changes over time with Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, each bringing its own atmosphere, weather behavior and gameplay effects.

The mod is designed to feel natural in survival worlds while staying configurable, performance-friendly and expandable for modpacks and other Fabric mods.

Seasons can affect the world visually and mechanically: leaves change color in autumn, snow falls in winter, ice can form and melt, crops can react to seasons, daily weather events can appear, and players can experience mild temperature effects.

✨ Main Features

🌦️ Season-based weather: rain, storms, dry days, snow and seasonal weather behavior
🍁 Autumn leaf colors: Oak, Dark Oak, Birch, Jungle and Pale Oak leaves can change color
🌿 Seasonal ambient particles: spring pollen, autumn leaves, winter snowflakes and more
🔊 Seasonal ambient sounds: subtle nature ambience for each season
❄️ Winter snowfall: snow and icy conditions across the Overworld
🧊 Freezing and melting: water can freeze in winter and snow or ice can melt outside winter

🌡️ Temperature system: mild cold and heat effects with configurable gameplay impact

⚙️ Highly configurable: weather, snow, crops, particles, temperature, HUD and events can be adjusted

📅 Season Cycle

By default, each season lasts 28 Minecraft days. The world starts in Year 1, Spring Day 1 and then cycles through all four seasons.

🌸 Spring – mild weather, fresh ambience, more rain, natural regrowth and Bloom Days
☀️ Summer – warmer temperatures, dry weather, Heat Waves and Dry Days
🍁 Autumn – cooler weather, colorful leaves, falling leaf ambience, Windy Days and Harvest Days
❄️ Winter – snowfall, freezing water, cold temperatures, Snowstorms and Frost Nights

🍁 Autumn Leaves and Seasonal Atmosphere

Autumn brings a much stronger visual identity to forests. Leaves can shift into different warm seasonal tones, creating a more natural autumn look across forest biomes.

Oak leaves can gain warm orange and bronze tones
Dark Oak leaves can become darker and more autumn-like
Birch leaves can turn yellow and golden
Jungle and Pale Oak leaves can also receive seasonal color variation
Leaf coloring is optimized to avoid heavy FPS drops in forest biomes

Seasonal ambience adds extra life to the world through subtle particles and sounds. These effects are client-side and designed to be lightweight.

📖 Season Journal and HUD

The season keybind opens the Season Journal, a larger in-game calendar screen that helps players understand what is currently happening in the world.

The Season Journal can show:

Current season
Current season day
Remaining days until the next season
Current year
Current temperature
Active weather event
Today and tomorrow forecast
Season notes and gameplay hints

The journal also includes a HUD settings section, allowing players to reposition the season overlay directly in-game.

Move the season HUD up, down, left or right
Reset the HUD position
Toggle the HUD overlay on or off
Responsive layout for fullscreen and windowed mode

📚 Almanac

The Season Journal includes an Almanac tab. It provides a quick overview of seasonal effects, weather events and temperature behavior.

This helps players understand how the current season affects the world without needing to leave the game.

🌡️ Temperature System

Season System includes a mild temperature system. It is designed to add atmosphere and gameplay depth without becoming too punishing.

Winter cold can slowly affect exposed players
Summer heat can affect players in hot biomes
Temperature can influence crop growth when enabled
The current temperature is shown in the Season Journal
Temperature effects can be configured or disabled

🔥 Warmth Sources

Standing near certain warmth or light sources can help protect players from winter cold effects.

Supported warmth sources include:

Torches
Lanterns
Glowstone
Redstone Lamps
Campfires
Soul Campfires
Shroomlights
Sea Lanterns
Jack o'Lanterns
Froglights
Candles
Furnaces
Smokers
Blast Furnaces

Strong heat sources like campfires, fire and lava provide stronger warmth.

⛈️ Seasonal Weather Events

Each season can now have special daily weather events. These events are designed to add variety without relying on heavy world scanning or constant block updates.

🌧️ Spring Rain – rainy spring day with stronger spring atmosphere
🌸 Bloom Day – fresh spring ambience and better growth conditions
🔥 Heat Wave – hot summer day with stronger heat effects
☀️ Dry Day – dry summer day with reduced rain and harsher crop conditions
🌬️ Windy Day – autumn wind ambience and more falling leaves
🌾 Harvest Day – autumn day focused on crops and harvest atmosphere
❄️ Snowstorm – intense winter snow ambience and colder conditions
🌙 Frost Night – winter nights become much colder

Weather events can affect ambience, temperature and crop growth depending on the configuration.

🌾 Crop Profiles and Tooltips

Season System includes a flexible crop profile system. Modpack creators and other mod developers can define the best growing seasons for crops through a JSON configuration.

Crop and seed items can display helpful seasonal tooltip information such as:

🌱 Best season
✅ Seasons the crop can grow in
💧 Moisture requirements
❄️ Winter growth behavior
🌡️ Temperature sensitivity

🧩 API Support
