⚠️ World Safety & Biome Restore

Before installing or updating SeasonCore, always make a full backup of your world.

SeasonCore includes a built-in biome backup & restore system:

- A dedicated folder stores your original biomes in the background. - If you don’t like the result or want to remove the plugin, you can restore your world’s biomes.

> Keep SeasonCore installed while restoration runs and load the affected chunks so they can be fully restored.

✨ What’s New in This Update

`/season biomes` – Control & Restore Biome Painting

A new subcommand has been added:

- `/season biomes on` – Enables biome painting as usual. - `/season biomes off` – Disables biome painting (no new chunks will be painted). - `/season biomes restore` – Gradually restores the affected chunks back to their original biomes using the internal backup.

This makes it much safer to test SeasonCore on production worlds.

HUD improvements

- `/season hud` now supports an OFF mode: - `FIXED` – Static HUD that always shows the same player. - `VARIABLE` – Follows the player that last used the command. - `OFF` – Completely disables the seasonal HUD (BossBar).

Snow & upgrade behavior

- When upgrading from older versions (e.g. old seasonal snow), SeasonCore now: - Detects old seasonal snow and cleans it up correctly. - Fixes previous issues where legacy snow stayed permanently “valid” in the world.

- Snowfall in protected areas or regions controlled by other plugins has been improved: - Snow now only settles where it is actually allowed. - No more weird empty patches or chunks without snow in the middle of a storm.

Fauna & world integration

- Seasonal fauna behavior has been tuned so that animals appear in a more natural and controlled way, blending better with vanilla gameplay.

Translation updates

- `id_ID` – Indonesian 🇮🇩 - `it_IT` – Italiano 🇮🇹 - `fr_FR` – Français 🇫🇷 - `de_DE` – Deutsch 🇩🇪 - `pt_BR` – Português (Brasil) 🇧🇷 - `ru_RU` – Русский 🇷🇺 - `pl_PL` – Polski 🇵🇱 - `vi_VN` – Tiếng Việt 🇻🇳 - `tr_TR` – Türkçe 🇹🇷

📊 PlaceholderAPI Support

SeasonCore exposes basic seasonal data through PlaceholderAPI:

| Placeholder | Description | |---------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------| | `%aeternum_day%` | Current day in the Aeternum calendar. | | `%aeternum_year%` | Current Aeternum year. | | `%aeternum_season%` | Current season name, using the plugin’s translations (Spring, etc.) |

Example: Recommended scoreboard

```yaml scoreboards: aeternum: title: "&bAeternum Seasons" lines: - "&7Day: &f%aeternum_day%" - "&7Year: &f%aeternum_year%" - "&7Season: &f%aeternum_season%" ```
