Useful Snow
Useful Snow adds better snow related mechanics to Minecraft.
- Snowballs create snow patches on the ground where they land when thrown
- Snow is able to be stacked up
- When blocks of snow are placed in water, they turn to ice (this makes it possible to create ice)
- Snowballs have the option to cause damage ( default is half a heart )
- Snowballs have the option to slow a target
- You are now able to collect snow on the ground with your hands
- Anything living thing thats on fire can be put out by throwing snowballs at it
Other features include:
- Permission support
- Everything in the plugin is configurable
- You can disable or enable different components of the plugin.
I have put many hours of work into this plugin and it is my hope than anyone who enjoys the features it brings to their server will donate.
please update not working 1.12.2 :P
Works wonderfully! I wish you luck with this.
Things you could add:
Reload command (use subcommands, they are easy and look more professional)
Breaking one layer of snow at a time, instead of all layers with at once, or maybe give them the number of snowballs as there are layers.
Add a /snowblock or /sb command that sllows the snowballs to change to snowblocks according to how many snowballs there are, for instance if I have a stack of snowballs and I type /sb, it will give me 16 blocks and no snowballs.
As it is though, it is great! But with a name like "Useful Snow", you can do alot. If you need more ideas, skype me at blue1.skyes or join my server (I am using this in SkyeBlock) at play.blueskyes.us.to
I really do like this. :3 I always thought that snowballs should either be placeable or throwable to make snow. :D
Most of these features ive recreated with command blocks in 1.8 vanilla server I just dont know how id recreate the pickup by hand, maybe using stats for the snow/snow layer destroyed hooked up to a summon item snowball at @ all players that increases the score based on the stat? Any suggestions?
You can see the permissions by looking at the plugin.yml inside the jar. Here is what it looks like:
Useful Snow version 1.2 works on CB 1.6.2-R0.1 Build 2824
I'm using bPermissions 2.10.5, Java 1.7u9 (x64), Windows 7 (x64) and Ubuntu Server 12.04 (x64)
EDIT 2013-09-13: Also works on CraftBukkit 1.6.2-R1.0 and PermissionsEX 1.20.2, Java 1.7.0_25 (x64)
EDIT 2013-12-10: Also works on CraftBukkit 1.7.2-R0.1 and PermissionsEX 1.20.4, Java 1.7.0_45 (x64)
Request: Could this be modified to respect WorldGuard regions such as not being able to place snow if the player cannot build in that region?
Whats the permissions?
You are a programming GENIUS!!! :D
Useful Snow version 1.2 works on CB 1.5.1-R0.2
I'm using bPermissions 2.10.4, Java 1.7u15 (x64), Windows 7 (x64) and Ubuntu Server 12.04 (x64)
Thanks, LHammonds
@Pythros
Sure. I will add this in the next update!
I would like to be able to disable this on a per world basis. Would you mind adding this feature? Normally I would use the WG flag but it would appear your plugin doesn't emit an event for it.
@lanodan
It already does this.
@pkt77
Yes that is something I need to factor in in the next update. Thanks.
Oh I noticed people can throw snow balls in protected territories...
@pkt77
Yeah I noticed that problem recently. I will fix that in an update soon. And thanks! Im glad you like it!
Could you make snow not drop (with hands) while in creative mode
I really like the idea of this plugin...really cool :D
Thanks for the plugin. Works great. I'm running CB 1.3.1-R2.0, bPermissions 2.9.18, Java 1.7u7 (x64), Windows 7 (x64) and Ubuntu Server 12.04 (x64) For those wanting to know, the permissions are:
And the default config.yml is:
EDIT 2012-09-26: I have verified that UsefulSnow 1.2 works without problem on CraftBukkit 1.3.2-R0.1 with Windows 7 64-bit and Ubuntu Server 12.04 64-bit on Java 1.7u7 64-bit. Was also using bPermissions 2.9.23
Thanks,

@robsherwood
Sure I can try.
Could you add compatibility with WorldGuard?
@Pythros
I actually really wanted to add this feature. Much more complicated than it sounds but I still want to try it. If you don't want to wait for me to update this plugin you can try SnoGro which does almost what you are saying (although I havent had any luck with it)
Possible to have an option in biomes that have snow that it will make the snow stack once per time it snows?
