Indeed
@iZotair on a Mac now and the great thing about java is that its cross platform so don't spawn a random plugin and look in the development section has lots of links to tutorials

 

Suggestion; make it melt by the sun

Oo, they removed snow form, will fix it up for you

 

That could go badly wrong, cover city's cover houses and it takes ages to clean up.

 

yea I got the exact same problem :I Can someone let me know how to fix it? I'm planning on making a snow mountain survival server

 

Ah yes, sorry, will fix that

 

have you considered using spout?

they have got a whole lot of epic features which you could use, most of them are upcoming though

 

Such as?

 

The SpoutcraftAPI isn't finished yet but when it is, things such as custom entities/blocks will be possible with it.

You should take a look at it personally and determine for yourself whether or not its something you wish to add support of. I know it has biome hooks too that some plugins are taking advantage of.

 

I'm still getting 1.3

 

SOrry

 

So are you gonna fix it? Please?

 

Wasnt sure if people had an intrest in it, i will ASAP

+Next update features a whole recode of snow

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Sounds good, Will use this plugin once that, I love realistic plugins, thus I need more,

This one will hit my server before launch.

You stated, you would add 8 different heights (from earlier post)

My Request:

• Have pre-set heights or configurable, and make them random for snow biomes, so they are not all the same.

 

Any progress?

 

Yep just waiting for 1.8 bukkit support

 

so ur saying it don't work for 1.8?
well hope it dose soon

 

i hope you could update your mod soon cause it looks amazing

plz plz plz update

 

I know it hasnt even been a day since my last post and these things take time but i was just wanted to ask.

'Is there going to be an update ?' or a fix to the older version I tryed to use it but has some snow_form error i dont really understand.

Could you plz answer

 

Will update to work but do not expect major changes.

Updated, going to work on multiple snow sizes now

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Nice thanks

Its dont work in 1.8 its will only rain

I made the SnowPlus plugin, it's a little different, but now you can put snow where you want in 1.8.
dev.bukkit HERE

 

this plugin looks great! i have a few suggestions:

1) When it stops snowing, the snow will melt (opposite mechanics as it snowing)
2) Have a snowblock stack limit, how high can snow from your plugin be stacked. i would personally prefer nothing over 1 block high. MAYBE 2.
- but definitely not downloading this plugin without the my first suggestion added because i do not plan breaking snow every time it snows, and im sure neither do others that play. i run a faction server and people like to spend time fighting and raiding other factions bases and taking all their stuff, not shoveling snow =P however with snow falling in 8 different heights, it would add a really cool affect and just as cool when it melts too!

 

Why are you posting this here?

 

Going to update soon? Maybe to the unstable build?

 

Hey tster can you make a snowing system too?Like when we want it snow just type a few cmmd and it will snow
