Serene Seasons Crop Fertility & Greenhouses
One of the most significant gameplay changes is the Crop Fertility system. Most crops can only grow during specific seasons. If a crop is planted out of season, it will grow significantly slower, and bone meal will be less effective.

Greenhouse Mechanics
To bypass seasonal restrictions, players can build a Greenhouse. In version 1.20.1, the mod treats any block with the minecraft:glass tag (including stained glass) as a greenhouse roof.
- Requirement: A glass block must be placed within 16 blocks directly above the crop.
- Effect: Crops under a greenhouse roof are protected from seasonal temperature shifts and will grow at normal speed year-round.
- Underground Farming: Crops planted below Y=48 (by default) are also considered "insulated" and will grow regardless of the season, provided they have sufficient light.
