Snow Block To Snow Layer

by MOONPHOS

Snow Block To Snow Layer changes how a shovel treats snow blocks, turning them into snow layers when used on them.

ModLoaderClient and serverCC0 1.0 Universalb1.7.3

What it does

Using a shovel on a snow block converts it into snow layers. Breaking the resulting layers yields snowballs, and snow layers can be crafted back together, a recipe that later game versions include. Crafting and break statistics are recorded, and the mod can be disabled without losing the statistics already gathered.

The mod is published for ModLoader only, targeting b1.7.3, with snapshot builds published as well. Both the server and every player need it, and it is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which places the code in the public domain and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Shovel conversion

    A shovel used on a snow block replaces it with snow layers, changing how the block is handled in the world.

  2. Snowball drops

    Breaking the converted snow layers drops two snowballs, matching the yield of later versions.

  3. Crafting and statistics

    Snow layers can be crafted back together, and crafting and break statistics are tracked, even after the mod is disabled.

No per-version build data
Modrinth lists game versions for this project (b1.7.3), but the source data has no build per game version and loader, so the compatibility grid is not shown.

Questions

Does Snow Block To Snow Layer need to be on the server?

Yes. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.

What the author says

a shovel turns snow blocks into snow layers. After this, drop 2 snowballs, so it's equivalent to crafting snowlayer from later versions. If I add crafting, it will break the statistics after disabling the mod.
