THIS MOD IS COMPATIBLE WITH ALL MINECRAFT VERSIONS AND OTHER MODS.


What does this mod do?
This mod checks your system calendar for the current date and then changes the texture pack to a seasonally specific set of textures.  The seasons do not change in-game, nor are any of the game features and mechanics changed.  The textures simply change month to month the same as the seasons in real life, thus the name Real Life Seasons.

More updates and details on this mod can be found HERE.



By popular demand, I've started releasing a photo log w/ each update as a visual aid.

A note about the other seasons mod.
I know there's a different seasons mod.  The other is an operationally invasive mod which introduces game-changing features while mine is purely cosmetic, making them completely different.  Mine came first, but the other is good too and the mods aren't close to similar in objective, so I'm not interested at all in splitting hairs and I don't care if you like the other one better.  For the record, I started development of my mod in October of 2010 and my first beta released in March of 2011 to a limited group of testers, the point being that my mod far preceded the other seasons mod, so it can't be said that I'm trying to steal or copy my concept from the other mod.

Gave lamps a more bulb-ish look.
Tweaked new "round" stone blocks a little.

i think your problem is that your dont have Forge.

If you have forge then it could be one of the problems below:
-Forge isn't updated to 1.5
-You don't have it updated for 1.5
-You didn't install the mod correctly
-update Java on your Mac;it could be wrong version

Forge?  Sorry, chief.  No other mods required here.


It's not available for Mac because it's not a conventional mod and operates in part outside of Minecraft.  I don't have a Mac, won't ever own a Mac, haven't found one to borrow yet, and haven't met an enterprising Mac user yet who's smart enough to help me modify my Linux source to run on a Mac (which is essentially just shitty over-priced Linux).  I've been working on it for a long time, but without a test environment I can get my hands on, I can't release it.

No, no, no.  It means that my mod is very different from a conventional Minecraft mod.  It functions more like an external application.  It's a very uncommon practice, so it throws a lot of people. I designed it that way to make it easier for people to recompile the source code and make their own custom versions of the mod.  Ironically, nobody has risen to the occasion in the couple of years since I started this project, but the option has always been available.

Is this compatible with all texture packs?

TQuin
Level 60
High Grandmaster Pirate
January 31, 2013, 3:17 pm

No.  The texture pack author has to make seasons, which is why my included pack is one of the only one available because a good number of texture authors are either too lazy or don't have enough time.


I'm currently working to build a custom laucher for the author of the Wolfhound HD pack, custom because his pack is three seasons as opposed to four.  There's also a compatible Quandary pack revision that's still updated (last I checked) and can be found on the Minecraft forums.  There was once a really good Doku pack that had been converted to seasons by Meizme, but it just disappeared one day.

why is this so much like a texture pack

TQuin
Level 60
High Grandmaster Pirate
January 21, 2013, 7:38 pm

To elaborate more, there have been so many Minecraft updates recently that I haven't had much time to commit to finding new ways of making the seasons and holidays more distinct.  This isn't too great a setback as I've been working on this mod for so long that there's already a ton of content, I'd simply like to add more, but as of late, I spend a lot of time just trying to keep everything updated and current with Minecraft.  Also, the seasons and holidays help generate ideas for new content to add, so for example, when the holiday season came around in December, I was inspired to change a couple of the items, terrain blocks, and mobs in a more holiday specific manner.  This mod has been in progress for a very long time, so inspiration comes in bursts.  Like I said in my previous reply, the whole mod/texture pack thing is very proof-of-concept oriented.

TQuin
Level 60
High Grandmaster Pirate
January 15, 2013, 6:18 pm

I thought you'd never ask.  Actually, you can continue not asking.  Just kidding.  The A Brave New World texture pack is the included proof of concept pack.  In short, you can't see what the mod does without a configured texture pack.  Currently, no other compatible packs exist because all the other texture pack authors grew too lazy to keep them updated.  I can't blame them as to run a pack with four seasons and four holidays, you actually have to create 8 unique texture packs.  So at the end of the day, the texture pack and mod go hand in hand.  There is also an included vanilla Minecraft seasons pack, but most people prefer to use A Brave New World, which I can appreciate since I've worked terribly hard for years to keep this thing updated with every major (and most minor) Minecraft update.

You misunderstand.  This mod is different entirely.  While the other mod makes seasons that change according to the in-game days, this game makes the seasons change according to the real-life calendar, thus the name Real Life Seasons.  So for my mod, you determine what season it is the same way you would in real life.  Just go outside and look around.
