Dynamics seasons and crop cycle
by Error6119
Dynamics seasons and crop cycle adds a four-season cycle that changes how fast crops grow and how the world feels to survive in.
What it does
Each season lasts seven real-life days and the cycle repeats, with spring on days 1 to 7, summer on 8 to 14, autumn on 15 to 21 and winter on 22 to 28. Summer speeds crop growth to roughly twice the normal rate, making it the period when most food sprouts. Autumn slows growth to about three times the normal time, which pushes players toward rationing supplies. In winter the land freezes solid and crop growth drops to almost nothing, so players must rely on hunting, fishing and stored food.
The mod is server required and client optional: the server needs it, while players may add it or leave it out. It runs on Fabric for 1.21 – 26.2 across 16 release versions, with files for 26.2 as the latest, and is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source. A data pack is also available, and snapshot builds are published.
Key features
Four-season cycle
Spring, summer, autumn and winter follow one another automatically, and each season changes the environment and its effect on crops.
Seasonal crop growth
Crop growth runs at normal speed in spring, faster in summer, slower in autumn and nearly stopped in winter.
Livestock and breeding
Summer is the season to find livestock and better breeders, while winter forces players to plan stocks in advance.
Datapack-based logic
The behavior is implemented as a datapack that runs a lightweight tick loop with scoreboard logic.
