Serene Seasons Plus v5.1.0

Highlights

• Snow updates should now appear much faster when chunks load or seasons change.
• Snow placement is safer around important blocks.
• Winter snow can still cover natural ground clutter like grass, tall grass, flowers, ferns, and leaf litter.
• Grass and flower regrowth is more natural and no longer only brings back dandelions.

Fixed

• Snow should no longer delete important blocks such as rails, buttons, levers, and carpets.
• Improved snow replacement behavior so natural plants can be covered by snow without breaking protected blocks.
• Fixed the old Snow Real Magic compatibility path that could prevent normal snow logic from running correctly.
• Improved Better Days compatibility messaging so users know when SSP is changing Better Days time speeds.

Improved

• Snow processing is now much more responsive without trying to do all work in one laggy tick.
• Chunk loading snow sync is faster and should feel closer to instant.
• Performance handling for snow replacement and melting has been smoothed out.
• Shared Fabric and NeoForge screens were cleaned up, reducing duplicate code and future maintenance issues.

Notes

• Better Days dynamic time compatibility is now clearly exposed as a config option.
• On newer versions, Better Days' own seasonal time system is preferred when available.
