Immersive Snowgen
by TCLProject
Immersive Snowgen changes how snow is placed during world generation, giving snow layers varied depths and adding slippery snow and quicksnow blocks.
What it does
Snow generation in the vanilla world is limited, and this Forge mod spices it up: instead of every snow layer sitting at zero height, layers vary in thickness across the terrain. Slippery snow and quicksnow blocks are added to the snow variants, and the rate at which they spawn can be set in the configuration. Snowgen also includes a snow slide and a snow sink, which are part of the generated snow features.
Blocks reuse the default snow texture, so a resource pack can replace the look of normal snow and of the custom blocks without touching the mod. The mod is listed for 1.7.10 only, with the single Forge file 1.0b for 1.7.10, published 2022-05-21. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The code is under the MIT License, which is not an open source license for this project.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players and server owners running a 1.7.10 Forge world who want snowy terrain with more variety than vanilla snow layers provide. Both sides need the mod for the custom blocks to match.
How it compares
Layers is a Forge world generation mod for 1.20.1 that runs on the server only, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Snow Under Trees is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.14.4 – 26.3. Eternal Winter is server-side only, open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and covers Forge and NeoForge across 1.12.2 – 1.20.1. Immersive Snowgen differs from all three by targeting 1.7.10 and by running on client and server together.
