Caio's Climates

Minecraft biomes keep one climate all year, so savannas never rain like deserts and temperate biomes often read as near-copies of ordinary biomes. This Forge mod reworks that. Each biome gets a chance of snow or frost tied to its base temperature, and seasonal changes follow from it. Tropical biomes have a base temperature of 0.9 and still get frost occasionally, while ice cap biomes keep snow and ice through the year. Ordinary snowy biomes lose their snow in summer, and snow becomes slightly more likely with altitude, while summer temperatures drop as elevation rises.

The mod also alters the base temperatures of some biomes so that the climate map resembles real regions more closely, and it adds Brazilian biomes. Savannas gain a pronounced dry and wet season, with a long wet stretch where rain is frequent, while semiarid biomes get smaller rain chances and desert biomes keep the smallest. The changes are described as relatively simple seasonal triggers on top of the vanilla biome system.
