Hello survival community!

The team is super proud to bring you the new Seasons plugin and allow you to experience a unique gameplay filled with realistic similarities to real life while giving a more survival feel overall!

But what is Seasons and how does it work? Well, we will break it down for you!

Seasons is a plugin that allows you to experience all 4 seasons - Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall! Each season has their own pros and cons and you must adapt to the new seasons as they change. With no further ado lets get into some tips and tricks and further information about this plugin!

Base Temperatures

Winter Temp varies from 5C down to -10C

Spring Temp varies from 5C to 23C

Summer Temp varies from 20C all way up to 40C

Fall Temp varies from 5C up to 20C!

But other things like running, swimming, drinking amongst other things all have effects on how cold or hot you get!

Sprinting/Running Adds +5C to your current temperature
Going into any body of water Will reduce your temperature by -10C in Summer and Winter and only -4C in Spring and Fall!
Drinking water Gives you a cooldown buff if your temperature is 25C or hotter for 5 minutes real life time bringing your temperature down instantly by -15C!
Full Hunger Bars Gives a +10C buff if temperature is lower then 25C
Block lights Add 0-30C until temperature is 25C
Rain Reduces your temperature by -4C
Storms Reduces your temperature by -5C

Armor
All clothing add the following warmth buffs up to 25C
Leather will add +20C instantly to you - ideal winter clothing!
Iron, Gold and Diamond Armor only add +10C to your temperature
Netherite only adds +8C to your temperature

Farms and Crops

Now you may ask yourself what about farms, how are they effected?

Winter All outdoor crop growth is stunted; bonemeal won't work when winter arrives! However, indoor farms will allow crop growth and bonemeal will work.

Spring Everything is growing! Flowers are flourishing, and crops do grow, just at a delayed rate! Potatoes and carrots you may notice take a bit longer to reach maturity.

Summer Everything is growing like weeds and you'll notice normal speeds for crop growth! You may notice berry bushes blooming too!

Fall Just like Spring you'll notice a delay with some crops like potatoes and carrots taking a bit longer to reach maturity.

Saplings however should grow year around, you may notice some delays in certain seasons though!

How long do the days last? How long does each Season last?

Unlike vanilla minecraft days where each days lasts 20 minutes real life time, in Seasons each day will last 40 minutes giving a more realistic feel to the game and allow you to experience the Seasons even longer!

December: Daytime; 18 minutes Nighttime; 22 minutes
January: Daytime; 17 minutes Nighttime; 23 minutes
February: Daytime; 18 minues Nighttime; 22 minutes
March: Daytime; 19 minutes Nighttime; 21 minutes

April: Daytime; 20 minutes Nighttime; 20 minutes
May: Daytime; 21 minutes Nighttime; 19 minutes
June: Daytime; 22 minutes Nighttime; 18 minutes
July: Daytime; 23 minutes Nighttime; 17 minutes

August: Daytime; 22 minutes Nighttime; 18 minutes
September: Daytime; 21 minutes Nighttime; 19 minutes
October: Daytime; 20 minutes Nighttime; 20 minutes
November: Daytime; 19 minutes Nighttime; 21 minutes

Each season has about 72 minecraft days
Which gives each season about 2 days real life time to cycle thru or 48 real life hours or 2,880 minutes
Overall view and feel of each season


Winter will have a blue-greenish color to leaves and the ground. The sky will appear a bit more white to give it a wintery feel. All exposed water will have a thin layer of ice across when winter arrives. It will snow instead of rain and snow will be a bit more common. Crops will not grow unless indoors. You may also notice more wolves, polar bears, and snowmen around!

Spring will be lustful in flowers - they are everywhere! Bees will be out and about collecting honey. The world will appear in beautiful pink spring leaves, flowers, and a light-blue tint to the waters.

Summer all biomes will have light-blue waters and the sky will appear a bit lighter - leaves in most biomes will get the color of jungle leaves. Spring flowers will disappear and patches of summer berries will appear! Outdoor farms will yield crops 2x faster then indoor farms. Jungle animals will be in every biome and the weather will be clear and beautiful!

Fall will bring much needed rain. Trees will turn into all kinds of colours: orange, blue-green-ish, green, yellow and brown and grass will appear a bit darker and muddy. The sky will linger in grey, giving it the fallish feel! Bats will spawn at night and more spiders(and even cave spiders!) will spawn at night - you may notice even foxes and mooshrooms too!

Temperature effects

Freezing effects -10C will give you increased hunger, -15C will give you slowness and -20C will give you frostbite damage! You'll lost half a heart due to frostbite every second until you warm back up.

Spring effects When your temperature is between 15-30C you'll get 2 extra hearts of health!

Heat effects 55C will not let you heal, so you'll need to lower your temperature to heal back up! 60C will give you slowness and 65C you'll start suffering signs of heatstroke; you will take damage and lose half a heart every second until you get 64C or lower in temperature!

Each biome has their own pros and cons; example a desert biome in summer will be much hotter then a summer birch forest or taiga biome.
A desert biome will be much warmer in winter then a summer birch forest or taiga biome in winter!
But no matter the biome, winter will yield no crops unless it is indoors!
