Solstice Dynamic Seasons

1.21.1 Feature Changelog

Compared to 1.21.11

Removed the old UV-style texture layer that could stick onto mobs and players. Winter now focuses on actual snow and ice appearing in the world instead of relying on fake visual layering. Winter snowfall effects were fixed so snowy seasons feel active again. Rainy seasons were corrected: rain only happens during rainy seasons rainy seasons actually trigger rain properly rain particles are less broken and less excessive Forge and NeoForge were brought closer to Fabric so all three loaders behave more consistently. All three loaders can now be built and tested individually more cleanly. Compared to 1.20.1

1.21.1 no longer uses the older winter behavior from 1.20.1. 1.21.1 uses the newer winter style with Solstice snow and ice in the world. The old mob/player overlay look is gone in 1.21.1. Loader support is better in 1.21.1, especially for separate testing across Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge. What was fixed in 1.20.1

Cherry blossom falling leaves now use season-based tinting properly. That brings cherry leaf particles closer to how the newer version handles seasonal color changes.

Gameplay Changelog 1.0.3

Backported Solstice to Minecraft 1.20.1.

Seasonal progression still drives the core gameplay loop:

crop growth and seasonal crop tooltips saplings, bamboo, cactus, sugar cane, and berry behavior villager and wandering trader seasonal trade pools climate-based trader/villager appearance changes grass, foliage, fog, sky, and water color shifts Seasonal visuals are more stable:

unstable animal UV overlays were removed humanoid and trader seasonal visuals still work This release is mainly a backport and stability pass, not a new gameplay overhaul.

Sadly had to remove the solstice ice and snow in the winter as it was not so stable. But will definetely be added in the future updates.
