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 like this idea but I think each biome should have a different season like for the dessert it would have a low chance to rain during spring and summer. And for the frozen biomes during winter it would be extremely hard to navigate through them because o snow storms, but during warm seasons there’s hardly any snow but it’s still snow every so often. And for the jungle and savanna they have a wet and dry season like in real life with a chance of wild fires.

  Please, this has been my number one thing I want in minecraft for a long time. I can already see us building silos in our farms so we can store up food for the winter. Also, you should always start your world in springtime, so you have time to build up supplies for the harsh winter. this could also come with the edition of temperature and thirst, so you have to have leather armour as coats and a warm house in the winter, and water in the desert and summer. wells could become a thing you would have to make near your house.

  Maybe there can be some rare season based weather effects for certain biomes like hail for summer in the plains and blizzards for winter in the snowy biomes? It be nice to have some new fitting music for seasons as well.

  That sounds really interesting, and I have a few ideas..

  First, if it snows in winter, then the snow should melt when winter ends, gradually melt until summer, or melt once summer begins.

  Second, creatures like strays and husks could start spawning at night during the respective seasons (winter and summer)

  Different tree foilage sounds great, and we already have white leaf blocks during the snow in great snowy plains biomes.

  Third, the best times to grow food and farm would be Spring and Summer. Autumn would only have a -10% impact on crop growth, while Winter would have a -25% impact, noticeably slowing the growth rate of crops. 

  Maybe in Spring and/or Summer, growth speeds could increase instead of remaining the same.

  Or make the seasons follow the real seasons going on around us

  We definitely need seasons. If we had that, Minecraft would be a lot more interesting. (At least in my opinion)

  You dont necessarily have to have the seasons change either. Maybe you could toggle between automatic or manual season changes where the game could change seasons automatically or you could choose a season you want to stay in. I have been wanting to build/survive in a autumn looking world!

  I would love this but I also think it would be cool if you can turn this feature on and off. I also think I could be fun to be able to custumize this feature by being able to turn off seasons with a command like you can do for the weather.

  if this did exist then either all of your builds get snow on them or you spam string on roofing, this may only affect me but I would find that quite frustrating unless a season toggle was also added

  Maybe snow could melt slower/faster in certain seasons so snow is not in spring and stays in the winter.

  Then you could have a calendar thing that shows seasons. 1.18 seasons update!

  This sounds like a good idea! For something like the plains, they could have all four seasons subtley present with one example being a plant that has visual cycles through the seasons (Winter - dead bush,Spring - bush, Summer - fruit bush, Fall - coloured bush). Mostly subtle changes (also of common features like spawn rates and light levels), but help inprove the experience overall. Desert could have small sand storms that somewhat reduce the range you can see (could be varying degrees), and have a sun light level of 17 instead of 15.

  Great idea!
  
  Have seasons and maybe depending on the season also have different particle effects / sounds, such as in Winter, have a wind sound / have a few particles of wind / leaves moving a little whilst its snowing like a blizzard...

  In summer, you can hear birds chirp, and in fall have a few leaves drop onto the ground.
  Of course, the best thing would be actually having the leaves of the trees change colours, maybe even some changes to the actual grass blocks themselves.

  Why don't they add seasons for everything. New mobs aswell. A huge array of blocks. A better Minecraft vote which will have ONLY HOSTILE MOBS. Moobloom and iceologer will be added.

  This is an amazing Idea! I think it should also have a falling leaf particle affect in fall.

  I think seasons should be based on the seasons in real life, so if it’s winter in real life, it’s winter in Minecraft.
