About this Mod

Seasons and Weather Overhaul

A Minecraft Forge Mod for 1.20.1

Four seasons. Real effects. Every world feels alive.


Overview

Seasons and Weather Overhaul adds a full four-season cycle to Minecraft that actually affects how you play. Crops behave differently, water freezes, snow blankets the ground, the sky shifts in color, and particles drift through the air - all tied directly to in-game time.


Features

🌸 Spring

  • Cherry blossoms drift through the air
  • Ice and snow from Winter melt away
  • Crops return to normal growth speed
  • Sky takes on a soft green tint

☀️ Summer

  • Crops grow faster than usual
  • Sky brightens with a warm blue hue
  • The world is at its most lush

🍂 Autumn

  • Custom Orange and red leaves drift down around you
  • Leaf blocks on all trees change color - oak, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak
  • Crops slow down significantly
  • Sky warms to an amber tint

❄️ Winter

  • Snow layers accumulate on the ground around you as you move
  • Water surfaces freeze to packed ice
  • Crops stop growing entirely
  • Snowflakes fall in the open air
  • Sky shifts to a cold blue tone

Season Transitions

When a season changes you'll see a colored announcement in chat:

  • Spring has arrived!
  • Summer has arrived!
  • Autumn has arrived!
  • Winter has arrived!

HUD

The current season is displayed in the top-left corner of your screen at all times. Can be toggled off in the config.


Configuration

After loading the mod once, a config file is generated at:

saves/<worldname>/serverconfig/seasonsmod-common.toml

Here you can change things like the length of seasons, wether the water should freeze or not and the visibility of the HUD.


Requirements:

  • Minecraft 1.20.1
  • Forge 47.x
  • Java 17

Compatibility

  • Works in both singleplayer and multiplayer
  • Season state is saved per world and persists across sessions
  • In multiplayer, the season is synced from server to all connected clients automatically

Frequently Asked Questions

Weather Overhaul server crashes on startup – what to do?

Weather Overhaul officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.6, 1.20.5, 1.20.4. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Weather Overhaul – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 6 GB (per 5 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Weather Overhaul consumes the most tick time.
