Winter?

[HoboCal3bTTV]

My friend has ran south for the past 3 days ad still hasnt found where its winter or fall instead of summer so we can have a winter base for when winter comes. How far south do you need to go for seasons to flip?

the seasons don't flip unless you cross the equator line.

yet you may have a very mild winter that actually looks like coldish-temperate summer - when hitting the proper latitudes.

some 10-30degC cycle night-day. At the summer the area gets 30-45degC cycle.

 

I have a chain of translocators taking me from lat 45deg towards to lat 18deg, and it is located 35k blocks to the south from my spawn point.

At the lat 18deg - there's jungle area, and the temperatures are as above.

It doesn't matter how many blocks you go as it might change if you alter the pole-to-equator distance when creating the world.

It does matter at what latitude you are.

For mild winters you need to be under latitude 20.

 

The server command to run in the console is:

/wgen pos latitude

Why is your friend going south to the tropics, instead of north to the arctic?

The poles are snow-covered all year long, no matter if summer or winter. So your friend did the exact opposite of what he/she should have done.

At default settings, the pole-equator distance is 100,000 blocks. You can run 6,000 blocks or so in a day. Count on a good solid couple weeks sprinting to get very far into the southern hemisphere.
