About this Mod
Snow! Real Magic! ⛄
This simple tweak mod can enrich the vanilla snow layer's behavior.
With this mod you can:
- Place snow and fence/wall/tallgrass in the same block!
- The snow layer will fall like sand. If it touches the water source, it will become ice!
- The snow layer will accumulate during a snowstorm!
- The snow layer will have a thinner bounding box like in the Bedrock edition!
- Reduce fall damage on snow!
- Make snow always replaceable by other blocks!
- Crouch + right-click snow to make a snowball
- Make snow never melt (disabled by default)
- And more!
All features can be disabled in the config.
<=1.20.1: To work with Sodium, you need to install Indium.
