🌦️ AeternumSeasons — Biomes, Wildlife & Textures Update

This update focuses on improving compatibility between Minecraft’s biomes and the seasonal system. It also fixes several issues involving unique wildlife, villager trading halls, custom food, and item interactions.

And finally, the resource pack for Minecraft 1.21.x and 26.x is now complete!

🍄 Protection for Special Biomes

Some biomes behaved incorrectly after receiving seasonal visual changes.

The most noticeable example was Mushroom Fields. During certain seasons, hostile mobs could begin spawning there—even though this biome is supposed to remain naturally free of hostile creatures. This completely broke its unique identity and peaceful nature.

What was fixed?

• Mushroom Fields are no longer replaced by incompatible seasonal biomes.
• Their original spawning rules are preserved.
• Mooshrooms can continue spawning correctly.
• Hostile mobs should no longer appear because of seasonal biome changes.
• Other biomes with unique ecosystems are now protected as well.
• Seasonal changes can still happen around these areas without destroying their special characteristics.

🦜 Unique Wildlife During All Four Seasons

Previously, the seasonal system could replace a biome and accidentally remove its exclusive creatures. This made certain animals impossible to find during specific seasons.

The opposite could also happen: a special creature could spawn outside its real habitat because a seasonal biome temporarily imitated another biome.

For example, because Jungle was used as part of a seasonal transformation, ocelots could sometimes appear in locations that were never originally jungles.

What was fixed?

• Exclusive creatures now recognize the world’s original biome.
• Seasonal visual changes no longer mislead the spawning system.
• Ocelots remain exclusive to real jungle biomes.
• Special animals remain available throughout all four seasons.
• Creatures no longer disappear simply because their biome’s seasonal appearance changed.
• Exclusive creatures are prevented from spawning in incorrect habitats.
• Compatibility was improved for pandas, parrots, axolotls, frogs, polar bears, goats, turtles, armadillos, and other biome-dependent creatures.
• Creatures spawned by the migration system must also respect their original habitats.

Visiting a special biome is now meaningful again, regardless of the current season.

🐾 Animal Migration Improvements

The animal migration system received several important changes to prevent unexpected behavior.

Changes

• AnimalMigrationService now uses the original biome instead of only its seasonal replacement.
• Exclusive animals remain in their correct habitats throughout the year.
• The plugin no longer removes ordinary animals that were not created by its own systems.
• Tamed, named, leashed, or player-bred animals are protected.
• Animals kept inside or near fenced enclosures are also protected.
• Pets, mounts, and other important player-owned animals will no longer be relocated.
• Creatures generated by the plugin are now identified so they can be managed safely.
• Inappropriate seasonal spawning of progression-related or domestic creatures has been removed.
• Wildlife groups for oceans, lush caves, jungles, swamps, cold regions, and dry regions were reviewed and corrected.

The goal is for migration to make the world feel alive without damaging farms, pets, or unique ecosystems.

🧑‍🌾 Villager Restocking During Seasonal Weather

During some seasons, extended periods of rain prevented villagers from working correctly. As a result, trading halls could completely stop restocking their trades.

Solution

• Rainy days now include a configurable clear-weather working window.
• During this period, villagers can access their workstations.
• Villager trades can restock normally.
• Seasonal rain can resume after the working window ends.
• Manual weather changes made by administrators are respected.
• The plugin does not artificially modify trade usage or villager recipes.

Seasonal weather can remain an important part of the experience without making trading halls unusable.

👔 VillagerTypeOverrides Fixes

The villager appearance system could also change professions unexpectedly, including turning some villagers into Nitwits.

Appearance and profession behavior are now completely separate:

• Villager appearances can change to match their environment.
• Their professions and trades remain untouched.
• Profession rotation is disabled by default.
• Villagers should no longer be unexpectedly converted into Nitwits.
• Servers that want profession rotation can still enable it in the configuration.

Villagers that were already converted in previous versions are not restored automatically. The plugin cannot safely distinguish between a naturally generated Nitwit and one modified by an older version.

🎨 The Resource Pack Is Finally Complete!

After a lot of work, the resource pack for Minecraft 1.21.x and 26.x is finally complete!

This is a major improvement to the plugin’s visual identity. Custom crops and foods no longer need to reuse the appearance of unrelated vanilla items. !Reemplaza esto con una descripción

New Textures

• 🧅 Onions now have their own texture.
• 🍅 Tomatoes now have their own texture.
• 🍚 Rice now has its own texture.
• 🍲 Custom food items now have unique appearances.
• The visual presentation of farming and cooking content has been greatly improved.
• The resource pack is prepared for all supported plugin versions.

Crops and recipes now truly feel like original AeternumSeasons content.

🍽️ Custom Food and Item Fixes

Custom food items also had several interaction problems.

When players held one of these items, right-click actions could be blocked. This made it impossible to interact normally with blocks, doors, chests, and other objects while holding certain custom items.

Some foods also failed to display their eating animation correctly.

What was fixed?

• Custom foods now play their eating animations correctly.
• Custom food consumption has been fixed.
• Items no longer unnecessarily block right-click actions.
• Players can interact with blocks while holding these items.
• Onions, tomatoes, rice, and related foods now behave correctly when held.
• Compatibility between custom item usage and normal Minecraft interactions has been improved. !Reemplaza esto con una descripción !Reemplaza esto con una descripción !Reemplaza esto con una descripción !Reemplaza esto con una descripción !Reemplaza esto con una descripción !Reemplaza esto con una descripción !Reemplaza esto con una descripción !Reemplaza esto con una descripción
