About SnowyLeavesPlus
From ModrinthWhen it is snowing, leaves will slowly turn white, and when it is not, they will turn back to normal
> # NOTICE > I have decided to abandon this mod as the method it uses to implement the mechanic is fundamentally broken and causes issues when mod is present on the client but not on the server. I tried working around it but I'm not proficient enough in Minecraft modding to make it work. The project has an open-source license so anyone who is willing is free to fork this project and update it. > As of May 2026 there is a mod for 1.21.11 called Visual Snowy Leaves that address some of the issues of this mod by implementing the feature client-side using shaders, however it has some of its own issues due to using that method.

SnowyLeavesPlus
In Bedrock Edition, leaves slowly turn white when it is snowing. SnowyLeavesPlus brings this feature to Java Edition! When it is snowing, leaves will slowly turn white, and when it is not, they will turn back to normal.
