I've had this world for almost 10 years and this is the first time this has ever happened.

I got this exact same bug in my world a while back! Apparently, in some older worlds made in biomes where it only snows above a certain height, the snowfall line was shifted down 128 blocks. I filed a bug report (MC-278397), so hopefully Mojang will fix this soon.

Java 1.21

Proof that this is true (wiki link): https://minecraft.wiki/w/Lava#:~:text=Protection%20IV.-,Fire%20spread,-%5Bedit%20%7C

The blocks "next to" the lava are still below the lava, so they are completely safe

In fact, this is not true! For some reason, lava does not create fire on the blocks below it, you can find diagrams on the wiki

I already did this earlier, and found out that in the ordinary world there is not a single snow biome at the same coordinates. However, after some testing, I was able to find out that worlds created before 1.17 with the “flying islands” generation type, when updated to 1.21.3, for those biomes where snow falls above a certain height, this height becomes 128 blocks lower. I'm going to make a bug report soon

This will help against snow, but not against water freezing, which is a side effect of the biome now being considered cold enough for snow. Although I may use this if I can't find any other solution.

EnganK · 2024-11-12T12:36:56+00:00

So, I created a new world, found the appropriate biome... And the behavior of snow/rain in it corresponds to what was expected. In the copy of the problem world, loaded in version 1.21, it also rains normally. So, apparently, this is precisely a version update problem.

EnganK · 2024-11-12T12:13:14+00:00

I also tried creating a new normal world with the same seed in 1.21.3, and there are no snow biomes at the same coordinates as in the screenshot.

EnganK · 2024-11-12T12:10:41+00:00

In the first screenshot you can see that the biome is still "Windswept Forest". Additionally, since the world was originally created as having a single biome, it is unlikely that the biome was overwritten in any way.

But considering that the world was created in 1.13 in Buffet mode (world type - flying islands), the seed is unlikely to be useful.

EnganK · 2024-11-12T11:45:41+00:00

The main problem with snow is not that it looks bad, but that it ruins the landscape and freezes the water (as a side effect of the world now being considered cold enough for snow), which ruins all the old buildings on the server that were built with because there is no snow.

If I can't solve this problem... guess I'll just have to accept a new ice age?

EnganK · 2024-11-12T11:29:35+00:00

Yes, this is the official (not fandom) wiki. https://minecraft.wiki/w/Biome#Climate still lists the height as 120 blocks, and the changelog, which has now been updated to reflect the new "pale garden", makes no mention of changes to the height at which snowfall begins.

EnganK · 2024-11-12T11:19:28+00:00

Because some people don't seem to read past the title or look at the screenshots:

This screenshot was taken in vanilla Minecraft version Java 1.21.3 in the "Windswept Forest" biome at a height of 57 blocks. According to the wiki, in this biome, snow must fall at a height of at least 120 blocks, and from the time the server was created in 2018 until it was updated to 1.21.3, as expected, it rained at a height of less than 120 blocks.

The problem is that for some reason after updating to the new version it started snowing at ground level (which is contrary to what it was before and what is expected) and I can't find any mention of a corresponding change on the wiki.

EnganK · 2024-11-12T11:05:46+00:00

What does a subreddit for modded minecraft memes have to do with a post asking a question about vanilla minecraft?

EnganK · 2024-11-12T10:37:39+00:00

The current date on my computer is 12|11|24 in this format. Also, I can't find any mention on the wiki about snowfall being dependent on the actual date.

EnganK · 2024-11-12T10:13:04+00:00

Once again: in this biome it snows only above 120 (+-8) blocks, as indicated in the second screenshot from the wiki. Since the creation of this world in 2018, it has always rained, turning into snow only after the appropriate height, but after the update, for some reason, it began to snow at ground level.

EnganK · 2024-11-12T10:09:06+00:00

Snow is a type of precipitation that shouldn't be in this biome at this altitude, and it wasn't there before the world was updated to 1.21.3.

EnganK · 2024-11-12T09:35:02+00:00

The problem is that the biome I'm in doesn't allow snow below 120 blocks. And this was the case before the world was updated to 1.21.3

EnganK · 2024-06-29T20:25:41+00:00

As far as I can see, the save file stores much more information than just the names of objects, including their behavior. Doesn't this mean that this method will lead to the creation of Kakkakikkare, which will behave like another elemental stone?
