Sorry for any errors, typos, missing images, and random text. MCF exploded (TWICE) and corrupted this page.
Better Snow mod is designed to revamp Minecraft's rather simple snow. After all, does snow really just pile up an inch and then stop, regardless of how much more it snows? And does snow really never melt? The answers are obviously no, and that is where Better Snow comes in! Features:
Snow has 16 heights
Snow piles up during snowfall
After snowfall snow exposed to high light levels slowly melts
Snow never melts completely unless opted for
Snow slows down mobs and players that walk through it, the deeper the slower
Placing snow on snow makes it one layer deeper
No APIs or other mods required
Full LAN support if all players have the mod
Partial LAN support if at least the host has the mod
Server support with Forge
Held snow does not change it's image when multiple heights of snow exist
Mobs sink all the way through the snow at all levels
Snow drops snowballs based on how tall it is
Snow can be configured to drop itself (instead of snowballs)
More settings! Done! Numeric settings are now functional!
Adjustments to snowfall rendering
Different snowfall amounts per biome
Snow drops snowballs based on it's height Done!
Fix various bugs Done! The biggest long-time bugs are now patched!
Increase compatibility Done! Now includes forge support!
Snow can fall on top of non-full sized objects and only appears on the spaces the block occupies
Glass and glass panes get frosted during snowfall
Leaves get frosted in the winter
A full block of snow turns into a solid snow block
Flowing water freezes into frozen flowing water -Original idea
Snow piles up under trees and non-solid blocks Done! Snow now falls and generates under trees!
Option "presets"

Thanks! I'm glad you like it! I actually wrote this a few months ago, but my friends have been pushing me to release it, so I finally broke down and decided that I might as well make it into a Christmas present of sorts.
I have not tested this with Minecraft forge, I only tried it with my current set of mods. I did try it in 1.3.2 and it was not compatible. But i have since re-written the mod, and it may now be. I also only launch mods with magiclauncher, so forge sometimes behaves weird anyway.
Cool! I Can't wait to see it!
EDIT: I like it! The weird behavior with the stacking snow is a bug that i am fixing. Do you mind if I embed your video into the original post?
Cool Mod. Gonna test if the snow melts during the spring and summer of the seasons mod though.
It should. The snow melting is based on light levels, so as long the mod does not change those it should work. This also means snow does not melt at night.
Does this make a whole new IDs for the snow blocks or does it use the damage value for snow block?
I'm worried if I install this and decided to uninstall it later it would corrupt the world

No, it only uses damage values. You can safely load worlds with BetterSnow after removing it, although the snow will behave strangely. (Minecraft's built in support for a few different heights of snow also uses data values)

behave strangely as in they turn back into solid snow blocks with different heights or something else unpredictable entirely?

They turn back into one of 8 different heights (all above data 8 are the biggest size) and if they are above value 4 they have the hit-box of a half-slab. Also all slowing effects and whatnot are gone.
Yet another idea that needs to be shouted at Dinnerbone. Hah.
Glad to see someone pick this mod idea up again. It seems to keep getting passed around in the community a lot. (Scokeev9's Better Snow mod/mDiyo's World Tweaks mod/etc.) I'll quickly run a test with MineCraft Forge since nobody has made any report on it.

Ah alright that'd be just dandy then I'll have no problem installing this mod now. Ah but is there perhaps an option to turn off the slowing effect?
Okay, I tested this mod with Forge version 6.5.0.480. The game does load without any issues, but when you go to open or create a world, it freezes at the "Loading World" page and returns this error message.
(Also, every single base .class file within this mod is edited by Forge.)

Still cool mod on how snow really works!
