Alright, long time MC player, first time suggestion. I've been milling over this idea for some time, mainly because the server I play on is mostly a snowy biomes. Snow is, well lets face it, a bit bothersome. I'll give my reasons why.
1. Snow does not fall in any other direction than down.
2. Snow does not cover every surface evenly.
3. Snow does not drift into cave entrances or under trees.
I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my Minecraft worlds. I like things that are even and pretty to look at. So, my proposal is this: Improve snow so that it will do the following...
1. Replace vegetation textures i.e. snow covered grass, flowers and even mushrooms or allow vegetation and snow textures coexist in the same block space. Currently grass and flowers in snow biomes leave a patchy look to the terrain because you can see the green grass texture underneath.
2. Allow snow to fall through leaf blocks (naturally occurring, i.e. not placed by players).
3. And finally, this may be the most difficult addition. Add wind to weather. With wind a whole bunch of other mods or game additions might even become possible.
That is my idea, and I fully understand if it sounds like too much to deal with. It's just a dream of mine. I've searched the internet for mods that will do this, but have come up short. There was one that came close, but it wasn't multiplayer compatible. So what I'm proposing is an addition or change to the game code across single player and SMP.
I couldn't agree more with Frog, this would be a huge step in the right direction. I really like the general idea of wind, could make for some pretty sick ideas.
