String Removes Snow
by zskv
String Removes Snow stops snow from forming above a chosen height, and it removes snow that is already there at that level.
What it does
Operators place a string block at Y 319 above the spot where snow should no longer appear. Once the mod sees that marker, new snow no longer spawns above it, and snow that already exists in that area is cleared. The effect comes from the marker's position, so a single string placed at one height sets the limit for the surrounding terrain.
The mod is installed on the server only. Players connecting to that server do not need to add anything to their game. Files are published for Fabric alone, for 26.2 and 26.3, and the latest build, 1.1 for 26.3, dates from 2026-09-22. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. The issue tracker is open for reports.
Key features
Height-based snow block
Snow stops spawning above a string placed at Y 319, which sets the boundary for the whole area.
Removal of existing snow
Snow already present above the boundary is cleared, not only prevented from spawning again.
Marker-driven setup
The limit is set by placing a string at the chosen height, so no command or config file is needed.
Server-side operation
The behavior runs on the server, and players can join without installing the mod on their side.

Use cases
Snowless high terrain
Server owners can keep peaks and high plateaus free of snow while lower regions keep their normal weather.
Who it’s for: Server owners who run Fabric servers on 26.2 or 26.3 and want snow kept below a fixed height.
How it compares
Altitudes of Frost is also a Fabric server-side mod for 26.2, under the MIT License and not open source. NoMorePowder is a Fabric server-side mod for 1.21.11 – 26.3 under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, and it is open source. String Removes Snow differs from both by being released under All rights reserved and covering only 26.2 and 26.3.
