Understanding Biome Detection

True Snow Mod automatically applies frost textures to plants, leaves, and grass in cold biomes. The mod recognizes Snowy Plains, Groves, Jagged Peaks, Frozen Oceans, Ice Spikes, and similar temperature-based biomes without requiring manual configuration.

Checking Your Current Biome

Open your debug screen (F3 on most systems) and look for the biome name in the display. If you're in a cold biome, frost overlays should already be rendering on nearby vegetation.

If Overlays Aren't Appearing

Verify that:

  • You're actually in a recognized cold biome (not a temperate forest or plains)
  • Your graphics settings aren't hiding texture overlays
  • The mod is properly loaded on the client side

If you're on a multiplayer server, the mod only needs to run on your client—the server doesn't require it installed.
