Epicgamer Posted March 1 Report Posted March 1 Is there a mod that causes snow to layer on top of itself, potentially burying structures underneath? It's probably one of the most immersive ways I could ever be inconvenienced, and i'm surprised that I haven't been able to find anything like it yet.
Dark Thoughts Posted March 1 Report Posted March 1 Accumulating snow layers are already part of vanilla during snowfall in fall, winter, spring and in the polar regions. It's why you need to be careful with predators potentially being able to get over your fences.

Like multiple meters deep maybe. I don't think that exists in vanilla, unless I'm missing something. I don't know of a mod that does that. I think it would likely be a big performance hog if it did exist. That's a lot to simulate. I agree it would be cool though... Edited March 1 by Vexxvididu

I guess it does, as it otherwise would mean if you live in the polar regions that your chunks would eventually all just be a wall of snow. Several blocks / meters high would require some serious blizzard though.

I don't know if it gets higher in polar regions.... allowing it to accumulate up to like 3 meters over the course of a harsh winter before it starts to melt would be a big change to the game and would be cool. ...but yeah.... it's a lot more to simulate, as I said.
