Season Core

# 🌱 SeasonCore **The Heart of the Seasons** > SeasonCore is the seasonal engine that brings your world to life—without events, dimensions, or extra clutter. > A lightweight, modular plugin focused on natural cycles, biome painting, and survival-friendly gameplay. - ✅ Compatible with Paper / Spigot **1.21+** - 🌦️ **Dynamic seasons** – Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter shift automatically over time. - ❄️ **Biome transformation** – Terrain colors, trees, and weather adapt to each season. - 🌾 **Crop & greenhouse logic** – Crops react to seasonal conditions; greenhouses protect plants during Winter. - 🧩 **Modular design** – Designed to coexist with other survival / RPG plugins. - 🧭 **Season Clock item** – Right-click to see day, year, season, weather state, and time until the next change. - 🐾 **Natural fauna integration** – Seasonal fauna and migration now feel more controlled and organic. --- ## ⚠️ World Safety & Biome Restore Before installing or updating SeasonCore, always **make a full backup of your world**. SeasonCore includes a built-in **biome backup & restore system**: - A dedicated folder stores your **original biomes** in the background. - If you don’t like the result or want to remove the plugin, you can restore your world’s biomes. > Keep SeasonCore installed while restoration runs and load the affected chunks so they can be fully restored. --- ## ✨ What’s New in This Update ### `/season biomes` – Control & Restore Biome Painting A new subcommand has been added: - `/season biomes backup off` | on - Turn off the backup. - `/season biomes on` – Enables biome painting as usual. - `/season biomes off` – Disables biome painting (no new chunks will be painted). - `/season biomes restore` – Gradually restores the affected chunks back to their **original** biomes using the internal backup. This makes it much safer to test SeasonCore on production worlds. ### HUD improvements - `/season hud` now supports an **OFF** mode: - `FIXED` – Static HUD that always shows the same player. - `VARIABLE` – Follows the player that last used the command. - `OFF` – Completely disables the seasonal HUD (BossBar). ### Snow & upgrade behavior - When upgrading from older versions (e.g. **1.1 → 1.2**), SeasonCore now: - Detects **old seasonal snow** and cleans it up correctly. - Fixes previous issues where legacy snow stayed permanently “valid” in the world. - Snowfall in **protected areas or regions controlled by other plugins** has been improved: - Snow now only settles where it is actually allowed. - No more weird empty patches or chunks without snow in the middle of a storm. ### Fauna & world integration - Seasonal fauna behavior has been tuned so that animals appear in a **more natural and controlled** way, blending better with vanilla gameplay. ### Translation updates Several languages have been revised and improved: - `id_ID` – Indonesian 🇮🇩 - `it_IT` – Italiano 🇮🇹 - `fr_FR` – Français 🇫🇷 - `de_DE` – Deutsch 🇩🇪 - `pt_BR` – Português (Brasil) 🇧🇷 - `ru_RU` – Русский 🇷🇺 - `pl_PL` – Polski 🇵🇱 - `vi_VN` – Tiếng Việt 🇻🇳 - `tr_TR` – Türkçe 🇹🇷 --- !(https://res.cloudinary.com/dhgdy73up/image/upload/v1762296608/COMMANDS_yodpjo.png) ## ⌨️ Season Commands ``` /season – Shows the current day, year, and season. /season info – Displays detailed season info (day, year, total days, etc.). /season day <n> – Sets the current day of the season to <n>. /season skipday – Skips one or more days (default is 1). /season set <spring|summer|autumn|winter> – Forces the current season. /season hud <FIXED|VARIABLE|OFF> – Controls the calendar HUD (BossBar). /season biomes <on|off|restore> – Enables, disables, or restores biome painting. /season biomes backup off` | on - Turn off the backup /season reload – Reloads all plugin files and restarts internal services. ``` ### 📖 Season Guide ``` /seasonguide – Gives the player the “Season Guide” book (auto-translated to their language). ``` !(https://res.cloudinary.com/dhgdy73up/image/upload/v1763676939/CORE_1_asc7zg.png) --- ## 📊 PlaceholderAPI Support SeasonCore exposes basic seasonal data through PlaceholderAPI: | Placeholder | Description | |---------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------| | `%aeternum_day%` | Current day in the Aeternum calendar. | | `%aeternum_year%` | Current Aeternum year. | | `%aeternum_season%` | Current season name, using the plugin’s translations (Spring, etc.) | ### Example: Recommended scoreboard ```yaml scoreboards: aeternum:
