Description

This is a simple tweak mod which can enrich behavior of vanilla snow layer.

With this mod you can:

Place snow and fence/wall/tallgrass in the same block!
Snow layer will fall like sand. If it touches water source, it will become ice!
Snow layer will accumulate during snow storm!
Snow layer will have thinner bounding box like Bedrock edition!
Reduce fall damage on snow!
Make snow always replaceable by other block!
Make snow never melt (disabled by default)
And more!

All features can be disabled in config.

>> Fabric Edition

1.14~1.15 Notes:

It is recommended to install [MixinBootstrap](https://github.com/LXGaming/MixinBootstrap/releases) to enable full features There is some lighting incompatibility with shaders, set Shaders > Old Lighting: ON to fix this
