?️ Serene Seasons Better Winter

Bring your winter landscapes to life with cleaner tree silhouettes and a stronger seasonal atmosphere.

Serene Seasons Better Winter is a Forge 1.20.1 addon that makes deciduous tree leaves visually disappear during late autumn and winter, creating a natural dormant-season look while keeping conifer and jungle foliage intact.

? Showcase

Cinematic Setup (Recommended)

Embeddium + Dynamic Trees + Complementary Unbound + Serene Seasons Better Winter

Vanilla Renderer (Without Embeddium)

Note: Without Embeddium, some residual canopy shadowing may still occur in very dense or tall foliage.

Vanilla + Embeddium

? Requirements

• Serene Seasons (required)

⭐ Highly Recommended

• Embeddium
  Best visual consistency, especially for lighting and shadow behavior.
• Dynamic Trees
  Excellent visual synergy with branch-heavy, leafless winter canopies.

✨ Features

• Hides deciduous leaves in configured leaf-drop sub-seasons (default: late autumn + winter)
• Keeps conifer and jungle leaves visible
• Removes floating snow layers above hidden leaves
• Hides small hanging blocks attached below hidden leaves (for example apples and cocoons)
• Optional server-side pass-through for hidden seasonal blocks
• Optional hidden-block lighting behavior adjustments
• Optional season chat broadcast on leaf-drop and leaf-return transitions
• Optional Distant Horizons integration for LOD leaf hiding and refresh (experimental, client-side)

? Distant Horizons Integration (Experimental)

Distant Horizons support is available as an experimental client feature.

In serene_better_winter-client.toml:

• enable_experimental_dh_integration = true
• enable_dh_lod_leaf_hiding = true
• dh_auto_refresh_on_season_toggle = true

Important:

• This integration is disabled by default.
• On some modpacks/setups, LOD refresh behavior may be inconsistent.
• If needed, disable the experimental DH integration and keep the base mod behavior.
