Snowy Biomes: Enhanced

by e3l3rno

Snowy Biomes: Enhanced changes the vanilla snowy biomes, adding white turning leaves during snowfall and smooth snow surfaces.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only1.19.4 – 26.2

What it does

Trees in snowy biomes gain snow under their canopy and snowy leaves, and leaves can turn white while snow falls, as in Bedrock Edition. The changes apply to the world's snowy biomes once they are generated. Only the server needs the mod to run, and players may add it without harm. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 24 release versions, 1.19.4 – 26.2, and the code is under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so it is not open source. Quilt installs need an extra library listed on the mod page before the mod works.

Key features

  1. Snowy leaves

    Leaves turn white while snow falls, matching the Bedrock Edition look in snowy biomes.

  2. Snow under trees

    Snow builds up beneath tree canopies in snowy biomes, adding cover on the ground.

  3. Smooth snow

    Snow surfaces are smoothed, a feature inspired by another world generation mod but written independently.
