Ecliptic Seasons FAQ

Craft a Calendar and a Hygrometer first so you can see the current season and local humidity, then place a Season Sensor to confirm the mod is tracking your area. From there, build a greenhouse with a Greenhouse Core if you want to grow crops regardless of season.

Use the Calendar item to check the current season and day, or place a Season Sensor block to read the season at a fixed location. The Season Sensor is better for automation since it can output a redstone signal.

Crops grow slower or stop entirely outside their preferred season, so check the Calendar or Season Sensor first. If you need year-round growth, set up a Greenhouse Core with the matching seasonal type and keep humidity in range using a Hygrometer.

A Greenhouse Core is the block that creates a seasonal growing zone around it. Use the core matching the season you want to simulate (Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter) so crops behave as if it were that season.

Place a Greenhouse Core, then enclose the area so the effect stays contained, and add a Hygrometer to monitor humidity. Use a Wooden Grate Humidifier or Greenhouse Dehumidifier to push humidity up or down as needed.

Place a Hygrometer to read the current humidity, then add a Wooden Grate Humidifier to raise it or a Greenhouse Dehumidifier to lower it. A Humidity Tank stores water for the humidifier so you don't have to refill constantly.

Place a Snowless Homeland block to keep an area clear of snow during winter. It's the simplest fix if you just want your paths and builds to stay visible.

The Ice Cauldron and Snow Cauldron produce ice and snow respectively when the surrounding conditions are cold enough. Use an Ice Wand or Salt Wand to interact with them and manage freezing or melting.

Wind Chimes (Bamboo, Paper, and the standard variant) and Pinwheels (Blue, Lime, Orange) are decorative blocks that react to wind and weather. They're a visual way to see wind conditions without opening a menu.

It's designed to work alongside most farming and world-gen mods, but heavy greenhouse setups with many cores and sensors can add tick load. If you notice lag, reduce the number of active Greenhouse Cores and sensors in loaded chunks.

It adds a dynamic four-season cycle (spring, summer, autumn, winter) inspired by the traditional Chinese 24 Solar Terms. Seasons change weather, daylight, vegetation, wildlife, and the landscape over time.

The Modrinth project page lists Minecraft versions 1.21.1, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2, and 26.3. The version table says 26.1+ (NeoForge 26.x) is in development and 1.21.1 is in continued support.

The Modrinth project page lists Forge and NeoForge as its loaders.

Yes. It registers items and blocks such as greenhouse cores for each season, hygrometers, wind chimes, pinwheels, calendars, cauldrons, wands, and humidifiers.

Yes. The seasons can affect crop growth, and optional humidity controls add depth to agriculture. Greenhouses let you grow crops when conditions outside are unfavorable.

Yes. Weather varies by season and region, with seasonal rain and snowfall, gradual snow accumulation and melting, and changes to daylight length through the year.

Yes. The seasons can affect animal behavior, and the config includes options for bee activity and pollination seasons, butterflies, and animals.

Yes. It supports configuration files, datapacks, and resource packs, and server settings can be synchronized with clients. The config file includes options like season day times, biome snow lines, and weather regions.

Yes, with supported distant-terrain renderers and the appropriate integration, seasonal scenery can reach beyond Minecraft's normal render distance. The config includes a VoxyAutoRefresh option.

No. The Modrinth project page describes it as a standalone seasonal environment mod. It also has compatibility options in its config and wiki pages for compat with other mods.
