DHSnowFix
by kabanod1m
DHSnowFix changes how far terrain is drawn with snow, so the blocks beneath snow layers are tinted instead of being rendered as full snow.
What it does
On distant terrain, the renderer tends to draw whole snow blocks where a thin layer sits on top. This fix has the renderer tint the underlying blocks with snow instead, so the far landscape keeps its shape and color. Snow layers let light pass through them, and with this fix the far view no longer shows skylight leaking underground through the snow top. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.10, with the 1.21.10-1.0 build as the latest, and the mod is open source under the MIT License. It is an optional client-side adjustment: a server can run without it, and players who add it see the change only in the distant view.
Key features
Tinted distant snow
Snow on far terrain is drawn as a tint on the blocks beneath, not as full snow blocks.
Light through snow layers
Light passes through snow layers, which removes the false skylight seen underground from distance.
Extra load check
The 1.21.10 build adds a check at load time, which adds a small amount of startup work.
