About Seasons

From SpigotMC

Simulate real life seasons and matching unique weathers in Minecraft!

Seasons​

Seasons is a plugin which replicates real life seasons (Spring, Summer Autumn, Winter) in Minecraft. Each season has it's own unique weathers which provide custom buffs and de-buffs to players!

Fully customizable via config, including automatic day changes, random weather patterns and admin commands.

Fancy going for a swim? Don't do it in winter!

Additional Features
Placeholder API Support

Use Placeholder API to adapt Seasons to your server's unique design.

World Exclusive Seasons

Each world has their own unique season cycle, so you can have infinite worlds all running different seasons and weathers.

Night Cycle
After a hard days work gaming, the system will enter the Night cycle which counts as a weather that does nothing. Nice and peaceful until the mobs spawn!

Configurable Season Cycles
Change how many Minecraft days are in a season via the generated configuration file. The default is 30 days simulating a real life month!

Randomised Weathers
Each weather has an equal chance of occurring upon day end. I'm not sure about having them ALL equal like Stormy which is catastrophically bad. If you disagree, feel free to suggest it to be changed!

Force Configuration
In-game, people with the right permissions can change the season, day or weather contradicting the randomiser. If you want Scorching weather in Winter then you may have it!

Shutdown Save
Even when your server shuts down, the plugin will save where each world is at and load it up when you restart. So restart at your leisure!

Open Source
I'm not going to hide this code behind any premium pay walls or anything like that. If you're a developer, you can find the source code and interface with the plugin under the Apache 2.0 license!

Damage Interval Customisation
You can change how many ticks go by from taking damage from Soldering Iron or Frostbite (the two major damaging debuffs) via the config file!

Language File
Customise the messages that Seasons gives out, translate it into another language or just put in yer pirate talk. The possibilities are endless!
