Simple Seasons
by Steveplays
Simple Seasons adds a season system to Minecraft, with colors that change across the year for each block in each biome.
What it does
The season system is driven by resource packs. Season colors are defined per block and per biome, and blocks and items are registered automatically from those packs using Fabric API. Seasons progress gradually, and the transition from one season to the next is smoothed rather than switched at once. Dry and wet seasons are part of the same system.
Season color updates are sent to clients every set number of seconds, and season colors can be hot reloaded in a running world. The mod runs on Fabric and Quilt, and it needs Fabric API. Client and server both need it, so every player on a server that runs it has to install it too. Files are published for 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.21 and 1.21.1, and the license is the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, which makes the mod open source.
Key features
Per-block, per-biome colors
Each block can take a different color in each biome, so the same block looks different across the world.
Gradual seasonal change
Seasons move forward step by step into the next season, with a smooth transition rather than an abrupt change.
Dry and wet seasons
The season system includes dry and wet seasons alongside the usual cycle.
Hot reloading
Season colors can be reloaded while the world is running, so resource pack edits show without a restart.
Resource pack driven
Season colors come from resource packs, and blocks and items are registered automatically from those definitions.

Use cases
Resource pack authors
Pack makers can define season colors for blocks and biomes, then reload them in a running world to check the result.
Who it’s for: Players who want a changing landscape without new blocks or mobs, and resource pack authors who want to set season colors for blocks and biomes.
