Serene Seasons Plus v5.2.4.1 -> NeoForge & Fabric 1.21.1

Fixed

• Added preventSleepSeasonSkipping, enabled by default, to stop backward world-time corrections being counted as full days and cap season advancement during one observed sleep session to one Minecraft day.
• The guard is available on both Fabric and NeoForge. It does not repair calendar dates that already changed.
• Better Days wake-time correction no longer adds another day when the configured wake time has already been reached.
• Removed duplicate standard/tropical season environment updates and correctly recognized the winter-to-spring rollover.
• Snow now respects the snow replacement tag when falling, preserving redstone, rails, heads, and other blocks outside the tag. Tagged vegetation is still replaced as intended.
• Delayed snow placement and melting no longer overwrite blocks changed after the operation was queued, and stale snow tracking no longer clears unrelated blocks.
• Seasonal tall grass and tall flowers now grow both halves and require clear space above.
• Fixed block tag resource paths and the short grass block ID for Minecraft 1.21.1.

Serene Seasons Plus v5.2.1 -> Fabric & NeoForge 1.21.1

Added

• Day/night cycles can now be configured beyond seven real-time hours, including a full 24-hour cycle, without synchronizing the world to the computer clock.

Changed

• Renamed config categories, settings, and in-game labels so their purpose and units are clear.
• Added a plain-language description for every config setting and hover descriptions throughout the in-game config screen.
• On the first launch after updating, the old config is preserved as a backup, a fresh config is generated, and a one-time warning explains the reset.

Serene Seasons Plus v5.1.2 -> NeoForge 1.21.1

Fixed

• Fixed Better Days sleep cycles waking players at an incorrect time. SSP now applies a configurable wake time of 1000 (7:00 AM) after Better Days completes sleep.

Serene Seasons Plus v5.1.1 -> 1.20.1 & 1.21.1

Added

• Snow can now land on leaf canopies instead of only appearing underneath trees.
• Ice is now included in SSP snow processing, including melt handling.
• Storm application now tracks how many storms a chunk has already received instead of relying on destroyed-column reapply checks.

Changed

• Snow placement now uses the real top surface, including leaves, for column sampling.
• Snow under leaves is no longer treated as exposed sky for placement and melt logic.
• Snow and ice melt checks are stricter and now avoid thawing ice during snowy season cold conditions.
• Chunk snow application now follows the server storm count rather than re-evaluating whether a chunk has the “right” snow amount.
• Active player-driven melt and chunk melt passes now use the same ice-handling rules.

Fixed

• Snow no longer fails to appear on leaf tops.
• Snow on leaves now melts normally when it should.
• Ice no longer gets processed as if it were hidden snow under a roof.
• Winter ice should no longer slowly melt from the old heat-like fallback behavior.

Removed

• Removed the old destroyed-column reapply behavior from snow placement and precipitation handling.
• Removed the old “did the player break this exact column” gating from storm reapplication.
