Kinda Winter Mode is a world generation datapack that transform your vanilla world into a snowy, icey and winter theme world by setting all non-cold biomes, oceans and caves' temperature to 0.0.
Inspired by the short-lived Alpha version's Winter Mode, this time on modern Minecraft version! (26.*+)
Features:
- Snow everywhere!
- Frozen surface water!
- Moody atmosphere!
- Teal-tinted grass and foliage!
- Absolutely no other gameplay changes (hopefully)
Compatibility:
Compatible with any structures datapacks
Incompatible with datapacks or mods that overrides vanilla generation. Ex: Geophilic
Check out Kinda Winter Mode - Vanilla Foliage
DO NOT RUN WITH THOSE DATAPACKS TOGETHER, for they both replace vanilla world generation
Try /gamerule max_snow_accumulation_height <value>! (<value> can go 0 to 8, default is 1)
Note: Going higher than 1 might destroy your CPU because of how Java checks for each individual blocks in simluated chunks for accumlated snow ticks
Do /weather rain or /weather thunder
Then Disable weather cycle using /gamerule advance_weather false
Remove .json file of the corresponded biome in data\minecraft\worldgen\biome
Notes: Remember to back up/make a copy of your world!
Open saves folder of your Minecraft instance, find your world, put the datapack in your datapacks folder. Afterwards, launch the game and enter your world, type /datapack enable <name of the pack>, then rejoin your world. There's no snow on ground yet, but there will be when it start snowing. If there still isn't any snow, make sure the random_tick_speed gamerule of your world isn't set to 0 (The default is 3, you can increase it for faster snow piling up during snowy weather, but it also affects plant growth and leaf decay, so be careful on the world you are doing!). And enjoy the winter!
If you're tired of "winter mode", you can use /datapack disable and delete the datapack from the datapacks folder, then rejoin your world. (Disabling it should theoretically be safe, as my datapack only modify vanilla biomes temperature, precipitation and foliage colours. Disabling it would revert them to vanilla biome rules). But the snow on the ground won't melt naturally, so have fun cleaning them up! (or you can just use /fill command)
