Description

# 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.
