Weather Overhaul
by swastik.seth
Weather Overhaul adds a four-season cycle to Forge worlds, with seasons that change crops, foliage, snow and sky color.
What it does
The mod runs a season cycle of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter that advances with in-game time. Each season changes how the world looks and behaves: freezing water, snow that covers the ground, crops that grow at different speeds, and a sky that shifts its tint and brightness. Seasons are announced in chat when they change, and the current one is shown in the top-left corner of the screen.
Weather Overhaul is built for the Forge loader on Minecraft 1.20.1, and its files cover 1.20.1 – 1.20.6. It is open source under the MIT License, and both the source code and the issue tracker are public. Client and server share the mod, so the server and every player need it for the seasons to work the same way for everyone.
The config file is created after the first launch. From there the length of each season, whether water freezes, and the visibility of the HUD can be changed, and the whole feature can be toggled off.
Key features
Four-season cycle
Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter follow one another over time, tied directly to the in-game clock.
Seasonal weather effects
Snow blankets the ground in winter and melts away later, while water can freeze, and the sky takes on a soft green tint in spring.
Crop and foliage changes
Crops grow faster or slower depending on the season, and cherry blossoms and orange-red leaves drift through the air.
Season HUD and chat
A small label in the upper left of the screen names the active season, and a colored chat message appears at each change.
Configurable options
The config file controls season length, freezing water, the HUD and whether the whole system is enabled.
