Frequently asked questions

Why don't I see white leaves in my snowy biome?
Make sure Biome Blend is set to maximum in Video Settings—this allows the data pack to properly blend snow effects across terrain. Also verify you're in an actual snowy biome (like Snowy Taiga or Frozen Peaks) where the pack applies its changes.
Do I need to start a new world for this to work?
No, you can add this data pack to an existing world, but you may need to travel to chunks you haven't visited yet or use commands to reload terrain for the snow effects to generate properly.
What's the difference between this and vanilla snow?
This pack adds white-tinted leaves during snowfall (like Bedrock Edition), places snow layers under tree canopies instead of bare dirt, and creates smooth snow slopes on hills rather than flat snow blocks.
Will this slow down my game?
The pack uses data-driven changes rather than heavy rendering, so performance impact is minimal on most systems; however, maximum Biome Blend setting may slightly reduce frame rate on lower-end computers.
