Wintery Atmosphere

A small client-side mod that makes snowy places feel alive.

Snowflakes drift from snowy overhangs, cliffs, and cave entrances. Frost quietly builds up on glass and other transparent surfaces near snow.

No new blocks. No items. No gameplay changes. Just a little more winter.

Snow naturally falls from:

• Snow layers
• Snow blocks
• Powder snow
• Hollow transparent blocks, such as glass panes

Particles appear wherever there is open space underneath, making snowy overhangs and cave entrances feel more natural.

Snow can leave a subtle layer of frost on nearby transparent surfaces.

Supported surfaces include:

• Glass
• Glass panes
• Other transparent full blocks

The effect stays purely visual and disappears when the conditions for frost are no longer met.

Signs and hanging signs can also become frosted over, adding another small detail to snowy builds.

Available on Minecraft 26.x.

Requires

For Fabric

• Fabric API

For Quilt

• Quilted Fabric API (for 1.18.2, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1 for Quilt)

Designed to Stay Out of the Way

Wintery Atmosphere is fully client-side and lightweight.

It doesn't add items, blocks, recipes, entities, or gameplay mechanics. It simply adds environmental details that make snowy areas feel a little less static.

Compatibility

Wintery Atmosphere supports Fabric, Quilt, and NeoForge. Forge support coming soon :)

• For 1.18.2, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1 there is a dedicated Quilt version, and after that, you'll need to use the Fabric version.
• NeoForge versions don't exist before 1.20.2 because NeoForge is relatively new, and it simply didn't exist back then.

Why?

Because the Quilted Fabric API was discontinued, and the versions after the above mentioned don't need the designated Quilted Fabric API because Quilt can read both Wintery Atmosphere and the Fabric API without issues after 1.20.1.
