snow rising
by kate
Snow Rising is a minigame in which a rising wall of snow spreads up from the bottom of the world, and players must jump to stay ahead of it before it covers the whole map.
What it does
Once the snow starts rising, it climbs through the world from the bottom upward, and a player who is caught by it loses a life. Players prepare before the snow begins, using the time to gather winter-themed custom items that help them fight back against the cold and reach higher ground. The round is won by surviving until the snow stops engulfing the world.
A setup flow appears in chat when the mod is first installed, and players use it to configure the in-game options before a round starts. The author also asks that a supporting resource pack be installed in the right order so the display shows correctly. Snow Rising keeps the world height limit at its earlier setting, and older builds need a legacy mode switched on. The mod is a spin-off of the Lava Rising style Water Rising minigames.
Snow Rising is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Its files are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, with 2022.1225+mod for 1.19.3 as the latest build for each loader, and the mod covers game versions 1.19 – 1.19.3. Server owners run it on a server, and since the server is the side that needs it, players may join with or without the mod installed.
