Seasonal Visuals
by ztrehagem
Seasonal Visuals changes how foliage, grass and weather look as the in-game year moves through its seasons, on Fabric for 26.2.
What it does
The mod works out the current season from the total world time and applies visual and atmospheric changes to match. Foliage and grass colors shift across the world as the seasons pass, so a single biome can look different over the course of a year. Winter rain is drawn as snowfall on the client, so no server-side weather change is needed to get that look.
Seasonal Visuals runs on the client alone, so only the player installs it and servers can stay vanilla. It requires Fabric API, and the mod is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. The only published build is 0.1.0 for 26.2, an alpha release dated 2026-07-29.
Key features
Seasonal color shifts
Foliage and grass take on vibrant greens with blooming hints, deep lush greens, warm orange and red golden tones, or desaturated dry shades, depending on the season.
Season from world time
The current season is calculated from the total world time, so the cycle follows the world clock without a separate setting to track.
Snowfall from winter rain
Rain that falls in winter is rendered as snow on the client, changing how precipitation looks without altering weather on the server.
Atmospherics customization
The atmospheric visuals can be adjusted, giving players control over how strongly the seasons show in the sky and air.
