Seasonal Survival

Realistic seasons for NeoForge 1.21.1: gradual climate, temperature and hypothermia, seasonal farming, snow drifts, falling leaves, plus a thermometer and a wall calendar.
🍂 Seasonal Survival 🌸
Four real seasons that change the world, the weather and the way you survive.
❄️ Winter · 🌱 Spring · ☀️ Summer · 🍁 Autumn
📅 A living calendar
- 4 seasons of 90 days each (a 360-day year, changeable in the config), with early, mid and late phases.
- 12 months, the year starts in March.
- The Calendar item shows a month page with a pointer on today. Hang it on a wall and it updates by itself.
- Day length follows the season: long summer days, short winter days.
🌡️ Temperature and survival
- A temperature model in °C: biome, season, time of day, altitude, rain, oceans, caves and shelter.
- The Thermometer shows the temperature around you. Its sprite changes with the weather, and a temperature HUD appears while you hold it.
- Campfires, furnaces and especially lava warm you smoothly with distance, like a real gradient.
- Leather armor keeps you warm, water cools you down.
- Hypothermia: slowness first, then damage, with an icy frame on your screen.
🌦️ Weather and the world
- Rainy autumns, stormy summers, snowy winters. Rain turns into snow in any biome when it gets cold.
- Snow piles up into drifts (up to 7 layers) and slows you down. Water freezes from the shores and thaws in spring.
- Lush summer greenery, golden dry autumn, withered winter grass.
- Foliage changes color gradually, each tree at its own moment.
- 🍃 Oak, birch, dark oak and cherry trees shed their leaves in late autumn and grow them back in spring.
- 🦋 Insects by day, fireflies by night, falling leaf particles.
🌾 Farming
- Crops grow depending on the local temperature. Heat-loving and cold-hardy crops are set through data tags.
- Frost kills crops in the open. A roof, a cellar or a torch-lit greenhouse keeps them safe.
- Animals will not breed in the cold in the open air.
