Snowy Spirits
Snowy Spirits lets a Fabric client change the time, moon phase, weather and snowfall it displays, without changing the server's world.
What it does
Snowy Spirits is a client-side only mod, so only the player's client needs it and a server runs without it. It changes how the local game displays time, including moon phases, and how weather looks, including forcing precipitation to snow. Weather data itself is left untouched, so the world's actual state does not change.
The mod can add a tall birch forest with snowfall to the client view. Players who want to combine it with resource packs can choose between a mode that increases resource pack support intrusively and one that supports them non-intrusively. Installation needs Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, and Mod Menu is optional. Snowy Spirits is published for 26.3, with builds for 1.21.8, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2, under the MIT License and open source.
Key features

A setting chooses between intrusive and non-intrusive resource pack support.
Snowfall forest
A tall birch forest with snowfall is added to the client view.

How it compares
PermanentSnow is a Fabric client mod under the MIT License, open source, for 1.21.2 – 26.1, and it is also client-side only. False Reality • Time Changer is an open source Fabric client mod under the MIT License for 1.21 – 1.21.8, so it does not cover the newer builds. Snowy Spirits covers 1.21.8 – 26.3, which overlaps with both but reaches further than False Reality.
