Snow Weather

Snow & Weather Troubleshooting

Diagnostic Flow — "Snow effects not working"

1. Which system? Particles (cosmetic), terrain snow (block changes), or weather control?
2. For particles: check Snow.Enabled, player world, and /winter snow toggle
3. For terrain: check Terrain.Snow_Generation.Enabled — requires server restart, not reload

Common Mistakes

• Particles auto-reduced to 8 on low TPS — users report "fewer particles than configured" during lag. This is intentional performance protection
• Weather.Disable: true overrides Snow_Storm — these are mutually exclusive. Set Weather.Disable: false to use Snow_Storm
• Only_Melt_Unnatural_Snow skips Y>90 mountain biomes — prevents melting naturally snowy areas. Users report "snow not melting in mountains" — this is by design
• Freeze_Ignore prevents water freezing near specific crop+neighbor combos — protects farms from ice. Users report "water not freezing near my farm" — check this setting

Performance Tuning

• Target: <1.5ms for particle render — use Debug: [lag-particle] to measure
• Reduce Amount, increase Period_Ticks, reduce Range.Horizontal / Range.Vertical, reduce Radius for terrain
• Snow_Generation changes require full restart — won't apply with /winter reload
