SnowsCaress
by UrotanMOD
Snow's Caress is a NeoForge mod that adds icicles, snow drifts and four stages of snow layers to Minecraft's winter biomes.
What it does
Snow falling in the world builds up on the ground in four layer stages, and each stage is a separate block so that builds can show different depths of snow. Icicles form naturally under the eaves of blocks during winter weather, and snow drifts take shape along the contours of the terrain while snow falls, which gives flat snow-covered plains more undulation.
The mod suits players who want to add quiet winter detail to a world without changing the existing terrain or structures. Its layered snow blocks blend with vanilla snow, and the gradients they create between snowy and clear areas can be used for realistic winter scenes. Client and server both need the mod, so players on a server running it must install it too. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with version 1.0.0 released on 2026-02-18. The code is All rights reserved and not open source, and a public wiki covers the mod.
Key features
Four layered snow blocks
Snow layers come in four depths that can be placed by hand to create gradients between snowy and clear ground.

Icicles form under the eaves of blocks as snow falls, adding a winter detail to rooftops and overhangs.
Snow drifts following terrain
During snowfall, drifts are generated along the contours of the ground, giving snow-covered areas more depth.
