    I've always wanted weather in Minecraft.
    When I finally got it, I hoorayed for the possibilities of SEASONS on my server!
    Now, I realize there is a Seasons plugin.
    But what if a plugin developer out there, twice as skilled or more as me, made one that's... Better?

    FEATURES:
    • Is compatible with MineCal, the famed in-game calendar system
    • Can create snow or rain in any biome by somehow faking biome information (is this possible?)
    • Makes lightning more common in specified seasons
    • Makes weather natural, but still controlled by season timing
    • Creates snow layers (of course) during specified seasons and thaws, also, when specified.
    Thanks in advance!

    Additional idea: Winter season layers snow tiles, but it thaws off when the sun comes out/spring

    I made a Season plugin
    It does not actually fake the biome
    But it's in the ToDo List

    Right now you can set differents seasons and for each, differents percentage of weather like sun, rain, thunder
    Just take a look ^^

    I don't think you read the entire post.
    I acknowledge your plugin, yes, but I need it to be compatible with MineCal or I can't install it without the seasons being way off.
    I myself am attempting to code fake biomes.

    What do you say by compatible with MineCal ?
    It manage the day by the same way
    You just have tu launch it in the same time and modify the configuration for the number of days for a season and that's it

    MineCal is in-game ticks. Currently, with your plugin, the time is always at least slightly off and eventually becomes really off-calendar. If you could create a feature for Seasons with a compatibilty with MineCal option, that would actually be great!
    Thanks in advance;

    My plugin's time is in-game one
    Since v1.1 I use the Minecraft time instead of the real one

    Ah. I was using version 1.0 I suppose X_X
    Anyways, I meant, make certain seasons compatible with certain 'months' in MineCal.
    EDIT: Details: Setting up the number of days for each season is difficult, as my in-game server time has months with different numbers of days and it gets hard to count.
    Catch my drift? I mean, if this is too hard I'll lay off, lol.
    But thanks in advance again;

    if I understand well,
    MineCal can support two months with a differents number of days for each ?

    It supports entirely customized calendars.
    Months, Days, Years, and the number of them, plus the names.
    It shouldn't be too hard to support, if you collaborate with the dev of MineCal...
    Thanks in advance;
