Has anyone heard of "LloydTheDuck's" Nuclear Winter plugin/mod?
(On a side note, many of you'll live, there are NO jungles!, well where)

Pretty sure no one has, sadly, it was still in dev last time I saw it, pretty complete.
Though I do not have a copy, or any way to contact him.

The point to it is to mix the ideas of the "Nuclear Winter" Theory and similar or related plot/story/problem games.
The base design that the plugin is made of is the game/games of "Metro" (Metro 2033/Last Light).

(Summary of "Metro" Series:
In 2013, nuclear bomb accidental discharge of massive proportions happened in Late August whilst discussing issues with America, and a miss-code translation led to an accidental launch, but before starting the 3rd world War, the re-directed most of the Missiles (larger once [Tsar Bomba]) to their homeland, with so many detonating in so little landmass area, it caused an "apocalyptic" or "Catastrophic" even called the "Nuclear Winter, which caused severe mutations on many species.)

Nuclear Winter Plugin/Mod Idea.
The Mod itself is mostly a big bowl of post-apocalyptic video-game titles made in Minecraft.
This is the games (bigger Ones, by the way) (and features) that where mostly implemented into the Plugin:

Metro Series: Main Idea of setup, and radiation dosage results, enemy AI implemented (Enemy Metro-Survivors)
The Last Of Us: Another similar set-up, and the idea of how the infected laid on walls when dying releasing a gas (Spores) that would potentially infect others (once infected, you'd die in plugin/mod)

That was about it, mostly.

Functions (world)
It added a WHOLE new biome/world generation code that allows for large or 'to-scale' versions of cities. It was the face of Earth (the base world) expanded to MC's 30^9x30^9 world.
The Cities where optional in World Settings.

World Types.
The menu would be normal, selecto World type was an extra function changed, there where 2 extra options; "Like Adam" (Clear Earth with no cities anywhere), and "21st Century Breakdown" (with Cities scaled to MC's vast land expansion).

Changes per world Type
21st CB: This was the Fastest changing world in All, you spawn in either New York (City), The Russian (Moscow) Metro Entrance, Hamburg, Germany, Below Eiffel Tower, Paris or Albuquerque's Down Town.
The time before the "Extinction Event (Winter)" Occurred was between 2-100 MC days. The more time, the more noticeable changes.
Mobs would mutate (creepers with their charged Proportions, zombies stronger, faster and mutilated, skellies where random mob with destroyed human skin).

Like Adam: It was a clear clean world, the time 'till Winter Event was between 30-100 MC days, same mob events as 21stCB

Functions (Items):
Your armor was one of greater changes. You could mix them all with "Leather" armor to make you less vulnerable to the freezing temperatures. It gave your armor's+leather's durability (Diamond stays the same). You would have a freezing point, Gas Masks where another armor add-on.

Swords would be the same, enchanting was replaced by "Upgrading" you could find the enchanter books around the map, add them to your sword at no XP Cost. Only 2 enchants per sword. Each enchant caused a texture change.
Example:
Sharpness X (X being any): The texture would change to a lighter edge blade to show sharpness and more jagged back edges.

Finding a Home:
Finding a home was one of the hardest things to do, if you stayed in a regular house (above-ground), it's radiation levels would rise (Radiation gives a random negative effect (potion) every 5-10 minutes). The best places to be on (live) where at the top of sky-scrapers, under-ground bunkers or Metro Systems, or in the wilderness (non urban). The further from cities, the less radiation and less "effect" happening.

Multiplayer Stuffs.
The main feature of communication was a "Radio" rare in suburbs and quite common in urbanized ares.
Cars where implemented, but did take up fuel (Coal, which where either Battery cells or Gasoline). People got around easily like that, as there is a potential infinite amount of fuel everywhere.

How the "Winter" Event works:
The event happens slowly, the sky suddenly never shows the sun, thick, grey clouds cover the sky, snow comes sometimes, and between 10-20 minute intervals you may get a heart or two of health off due to the radiated rain/snow penetrating your armor.

When it snows, it doesn't pile up like it does normally, the area is more grey and white, with less colors seen, even on forests.

In the extreme North's, snow does pile up.

Everything is more Dangerous.
You better put your overcoat, for the nuclear winter is Coming.
We're a species headed into Extinction.
