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.

    Yes, I would really like that! Maybe you could also change the length of each season in settings, but you have to enable some thing like "customize seasons", otherwise it would be regular, and to edit it, it requires cheats to be turned on. Also an option to turn seasons off (without turning on cheats) for servers or people who don't like the update.

    I also think there should be winter, spring, summer and fall/autumn versions of enemies, as that would add to the aesthetic, and otherwise would seem a bit off.

    I LOVE THIS IDEA I’m up for anything that makes the game harder and more realistic I love the idea of having seasons and the idea that I’m winter crop growth would be slow and probably harder and that in spring crops and flower would start budding and than in summer things could bloom

    love the idea. I love snowy landscapes and how all the trees are covered in snow and it looks like a winter wonderland. I would absolutely love to see this phenomenon implemented into my favorite game.

    They already gave snow biomes in Bedrock Edition snowy leaves, why not Java? Also I would love to see things like falling leaf particles or even simple natural flowers having animations during day/night cycle.

    I think different biomes should have different season numbers and/or durations so that there are perks and benefits in living in a certain biome, I also think that although it would be cool to have the different growth cycles in different seasons, I do think that would be too long and it wouldn’t work so well with render distance and what not. I think that there should be different crop nerfs and buffs depending on the season. For example harvest out put us double in autumn or growth rate is double in summer and half in winter. Sometimes like that where you are still able to grow anytime of the year. Also I think you should be able to grow in an indoor controlled environment to grow like it has been just not to break things or make people upset m.

    The idea of seasons is something I would love to see in Minecraft but I think this update could come with more types of weather too maybe? such as snowstorms or hale.

    I like a lot your idea.

    Maybe mojang could also add berry bushes and fruit tree that can grow only in 2/3 senson.

    For exemple: strawberries can growth during spring, summer; apple during spring, summer and autumn.

    Obiusly during winter a lot of plants can't grow because of low temperature and snow.

    This would also bea good update to add temperature. We already have frostbite for when you get too cold in powdered snow, but it would be cool if you could get an effect called heatwave that would tint your screen orange, give you slownes, and mining fatiuge.

    Honestly I think it should include deserts as well. It should be like rain and very small chance of snow as I used to live in a desert and it rains often but almost never snows.

    This could be really interesting if added in game, but very hard to code!

    This could make use of the new freezing mechanic in Minecraft. You have to find shelter before winter as an added difficulty to the game. Maybe you have to have special potions or armour to be resistant to the freezing. And of course that will pass overtime and you can go back to normal Minecraft for the next 3 seasons

    That would be so cool! It would make the trees look more unique than other games.

    I am having a mod that does this and i've noticed a problem. So if Mojang would want to implement this, they have to keep in mind this.

    When you travel the world in the middle of winter, the world is not covered in snow and ice as it should be. And when you travel back to those same chunks when it's not winter anymore, there still is snow and ice when they shouldn't be there.

    So it's a bit complicated.

    Perhaps when the chunks load, the game should immediatelly remove all the snow and ice created from winter, if the current season is not winter. And vice-versa. Player-placed ice and snow shouldn't get affected by this, ofc.

    In principle, you can add not only seasons to Minecraft, but also some new biomes like Ice Plains or Calcite Glades, there will be small lakes, there will be yellow terracotta on the shore, red sand, smooth basalt, regular basalt, and occasionally netherstone. Such clearings will have veins of gravel that will be vertically located in the soil, and their depth will be from 7 to 15 blocks. And on the icy plains there will be 3 or even 4 biomes at once. Plains, Ice Peaks, Snowy Mountains (from update 1.17), Ice Ocean and Snowy Desert. Occasionally there will also be a regular snow biome. I think it perfect for the winter season of Minecraft)))

    It would be cool for the jungle to have 2 seasons, a rainy one (with lots of rain, thunderstorms, maybe even skeleton traps could spawn more frequently) and a dry one (with almost no rain at all), similar to how it happens in real life.

    The same could be applied for desserts, but the rainy periods could be way shorter than the dry ones, and more dangerous. Maybe during the rain periods, we could grow vegetation more efficiently there.

    I think they could add the fruit trees and this to one update and it be a nature update
