Allows you to reload the configuration without restarting your server - Added two new settings: snowMeltPercentage and snowMeltMinLayers.

Have you ever felt like snow in Minecraft isn't quite right? Well, fear no more my friend because with this plugin you can make it act more realistically! Introducing: Better Snowier Snow! This plugin is inspired by the [Snowier Snow plugin by hobblyhobo](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/snowiersnow.72213/). If you have a moment go check his plugin as well!

How it works

Better Snowier Snow provides a simple configuration tool that allows you to change the behaviour of Snow Blocks and Snow Layers, to make them act more realistically. For instance, you can give them gravity, so they will fall when the block below is broken, or you can make them stack up when it's snowing!

Configuring

The configuration file allows you to configure different aspects of the plugin snowPoseMaxLayers: The maximum number of snow layers that will be posed when snowing snowPoseBlocks: On how many blocks snow layers can be posed every tick while snowing snowPoseWorlds: List of worlds where the plugin has effect snowPoseIgnoredChunks: List of chunk rectangular regions where the plugin won't have effect. The string syntax is the following: <start chunk x>,<start chunk y>,<end chunk x>,<end chunk y>,<prevent also vanilla layer from posing> To add just one chunk to the list just set both start chunk and end chunk coordinates to the same slownessOnSnow: If true, players will get the slowness effect while walking on snow blocks or layers slownessMinLayers: The minimum amount of layers to apply the slowness effect to players when they walk on it slownessStrength: The slowness level the player will get slownessSneakingPrevent: If true, players won't get the slowness effect (if active) when they are sneaking metrics: Enable [bStats metrics](https://bstats.org/plugin/bukkit/Better%20Snowier%20Snow/… This does not collect any personal/sensitive information.

Requirements

Better Snowier Snow does not require any additional plugin or mod to run, other than [Spigot itself](https://www.spigotmc.org/).

Compatibility

Better Snowier Snow has been built on top of Spigot API-version 1.13 and has been tested on Minecraft 1.16.4. Unless some major changes happens on either Spigot API or Minecraft itself, the plugin should work on newest versions as well. If you find any bug related to a new version of one of these, please report them to the [Issue Tracker](https://github.com/JimiIT92/BetterSnowierSnow/issues). A Sponge port is also in development.

Support the project

Developing and maintaining this plugin requires some time and effort, but after all I really enjoy doing this This plugin is FREE TO USE and will ALWAYS be. If someone asked you some money, you got scammed! But if you want to show some support to the project (or just buy me some beer to produce more code), you can click on the Donate button in project's overview, it will be really appreciated. Any other websites asking you money for this project is a scam, and you should immediately report it!

Credits

All credits goes to hobblyhobo for creating the [Snowier Snow plugin](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/snowiersnow.72213/). This plugin is amazing, however I felt like some features were missing. Also, some might not like how the snow poses in his plugin, so that's why this uses a different approach (that leads to smoother snow formations).

In conclusion

I hope you like Better Snowier Snow and make it grow! Peace!
