Seasons for most biomes

under review

At least the medium/lush biomes could have four seasons (spring, summer, fall and winter). The cold (snowy) or hot (desert, jungle) biomes could be excluded from this. 

What do seasons change? The most visible change is the vegetation, for example colored tree foliage in autumn or blossoms in spring time. In winter the precipitation would be snow and not rain. And it could also have some impact on crop growth, like slow growth in winter. This would add some difficulty to the game. Mob spawning could be affected by this too.

There are already moon phases in Minecraft. Maybe the seasons could be tied to this. One entire moon circle could be one season. I think it would make the game more diverse and enjoyable.

  I feel like this would be a cool addition to minecraft. Maybe during spring it can rain, during summer fires can spread faster, during autunm the leaves are orange, and during winter thge leaves are white and every biome has the properties of a snow biome.

  I love this idea! I propose that every 50-60 days in Minecraft, there would be a new season. I say 50-60 days because you need time to gather crops and build houses. If the player wants, they should be able to turn off seasons in the world settings. It shouldnt change gameplay too much, and should be fun!

  BruhItzDerpyYT i feel like that would be too long. Maybe you could set how long the seasons change in the world setting, ore somthing like that.

  it would be ideal because if we do not find an arctic biome less than 5000 blocks is terrible, but if it has seasons we can find snow faster so I say yes for that

  Why not a biome that has seasons that way you don't have to have seasons when you don't want to

  I think one moon cycle would be far too quick, seasons take a long time to occur, you could get used to one season and 8 in game days later and guess what?! It's fall now, I think a season should last for around 4 cycles, stardew valley is structured this way and the system works well. I also don't think seasonal shift should be immediate but gradual instead.

  In deserts. it should be very hot with no rain in summer but winter, it would be very cold. When it snows in other biomes, there should be a 25-50% chance of snow in deserts,

  Adding different colors for the trees and tree leaves would be nice. When you start a world you could chose what season you start off in.

  Winter: whites and.blues, crops are unable to grow, and animals die for food supply, snow

  Spring: light green, crops start to grow, animals are gathered, more rain falls

  Summer: normal colors of minecraft,.crops at there peak, less rain falls

  Fall: red, orange, yellow, green, crops start to die, animals are harvested for meat, the leaves fall onto the ground

  Something cool to add to this whole seasons thing, is if the music changes based on the season.

  Here's how I think it should go if this is ever implemented

  Spring/fall=same music that is played in survival (volume alpha)

  Summer=volume beta music like what's played in creative mode

  Winter=volume beta music like ki, flake, and Kyoto (like what was played in the holiday Mash up pack on console if anyone remembers that)

  I think crop growth should be slowed down during Fall and spring, and the normal for summer. And then during winter, crops will not grow/will be drowned by snow, and mobs will not breed. That way players can realistically make use of food stores (such as the enormous amount of food me and my siblings have stored)

  If this gets added there should be a button on world generation to toggle it, and converting old worlds would also give the same option

  This could be added to 1.15, 1.16, or 1.17. It's a genius idea. Honestly, I don't know why mojang never thought of it. Except if it's tied to a moon cycle,  the seasons will be much shorter,  since one moon cycle in minecraft is around 8 or 10 nights or something

  I suggest that Specific plants grow during these seasons. For example, the only trees you might find in winter can be spruce trees, and other trees loose their leaves, or their leaves turn white.

  In spring, you can find cherry blossom trees, and double tall grass and flowers, because the weather is suitable for them. Trees start to grow leaves. White leaves change to green (this can be similar to the dirt turning into grass animation)

  In summer, there can be green grass, and small flowers like poppies and dandelions can grow. Also fruit trees.

  In fall, the tree colours change, and there can be particles to imitate falling leaves. It can be like falling snow that piles up under the tree, but with leaves instead.

  Also I think there should be a warmth bar. In winter if you stay out too much your warmth starts to reduce and if it gets to 0, then you start to loose hearts. Just like when underwater.

  In spring summer and fall, it reduces slowly. 

  A chestplate can imitate a winter jacket,  and keep your warmth up for a while. Like a turtle she'll let's you hold your breath longer.

  I don’t think they should add seasons for most biomes simply because it would change the base game. It’s okay to have them in SOME biomes, but most

  I think that there should be a way to add snowmen, and not snow-golems to the game. Maybe to make a snowman, you would need snow, and a sheered pumpkin. and to make a snow-golem, you would need snow and a JACK O' LANTERN.

  Then we would have an option.

  During the fall in certain biomes, the leaves of trees could changes colors!

  Maybe the further North/South you go, the winter lasts longer, where as if you stay near the spawn east/west, summers would last longer!

  I think it's possible. Minecraft already has a built-in temperature system for calculating snowfall, maybe as a start, the temperatures can rise and fall to simulate seasons?

  During winter, when it "thunder storms." it should be a blizzard. Stay too long outside without leather jackets, you'd slowly freeze to death and die! This would be kinda common, but hey, leather jackets would finally come in handy! 
  Wait, leather jackets would be useful? Whaattt?!?!

  Maybe it could be a world option. You could check a box to turn seasons on.

  I support.  Excessively hot or cold biota will not change.  Only the neutral biome will have seasons. 

  The changes in the four seasons are data changes in temperature, which affects the growth rate of plants and animals. 

  Changes in the four seasons can also cause changes in vegetation: spring plants are mostly tender green, grass and flowers gradually appear; in summer, flowers will disappear, green plants will be denser and darker in color; autumn plants will turn yellow-green in color, eventually  It turns pale yellow(Maybe there will be some red?), and the grass gradually disappears; the winter leaves turn brown (like wood color) and white (white will occupy the majority), there will be no rain in winter, but snow, water will freeze.

  Moreover, the cyclical changes in the moon in Minecraft should be based on 30 game days (ie, one game month), and one season is about three game months.  I recommend every game day = 24 minutes in the real world.
  As an evergreen tree species, spruce trees are not affected by the four seasons.

  Is it a good idea to say that seasonal changes have caused changes in the skin of villagers?😁
  In fact, I suggest to join the apple tree, I have been thinking why the Oak Tree grows Apple?

  I think there can increase the difficulty, fun and more possibilities, and make the game full of changes.

  I like this idea, and maybe it can be connected to holidays (one day thing) like snowing in christmas, and leaves decaying/falling/ changing color in halloween. and if people don't want it connected to real life dates, then they can have an option to take it off, and have it in minecraft days (every so and so minecraft days, changes season)
