SystemZee – What If Minecraft Had Seasons?

What if minecraft had seasons from the frigid cold of the winter to the scorching sun of the summer would the biome colors change would the leaves fall off of trees what about the flowers blooming minecraft would be changed forever hello and welcome everyone my name is system z and

Today we’re diving deep into the discussion that is seasons in the world of minecraft so without further ado grab your coat and let’s get started hey you yes you do you remember my we’re the piglet wrap of course you do who could forget that monstrosity masterpiece now is your chance to join

The piglet and take over the nether with this special limited edition poster and the sticker to match these posters will be available for a limited time only so grab your gold and join the piglen by heading to the website linked in the description below or by clicking the icard in the top

Right corner also make sure to share your support using the hashtag we’re the piglen on twitter i know what you may be thinking we already have cold winter biomes in hot deserts aren’t seasons already in minecraft i believe biomes are the closest thing to seasons that we will ever get in the game

But they are still very different from real life seasons are defined as environmental changes resulting from weather patterns and the position of earth in accordance to the sun but after all this is just a game and not meant to be taken too seriously so to be fair we can ignore

The part about requiring the sun to be more than just a flat texture in the sky leaving us with weather well that’s great news then we’ve got rain and snow what more do we need well my friend in short we need a lot weather in minecraft is locked to the biome

And not defined by the time of year in the game in fact if we were to have seasons in minecraft we would have to introduce time to the game in general and not just a 20-minute day and night cycle as days pass in the minecraft overworld weather would need to change

Specifically temperature at that point having seasons would start to make sense the color of the grass could change with the temperature along with leaves eventually falling from trees crops would come and go as would livestock the world around us would adapt to the changes to the environment

Villagers may even adapt their trades to accept crops and other materials obtainable in that specific time of year weather would even adapt bringing seasons for tornadoes or even blizzards real world mechanics like evaporation for example could be added making for some really unique redstone contraptions and farms

At this point minecraft would be more realistic than it ever could be and honestly it sounds kind of nice but at what cost in minecraft there are quite a few biomes that were specifically added to make the game feel warm or cold to add atmosphere and a false sense of

Seasons to the game so if each biome that you visited would eventually change with the seasons cycling through color palettes and crop availability would they even really be necessary this very well could be the update that would lose biomes in place of year-round changes your world would never stay the same

Constantly changing the environments around you i hope you like snow because no matter where you choose to live and build you will eventually have to deal with it better start practicing your snowball fights sure in the real world there are plenty of regions that are colder year-round

Than others but that is entirely due to the rotation of the planet in accordance to the sun and the worlds of minecraft are flat with the location of the sun and moon locked to the player’s position but regardless in a world with seasons at least in minecraft biomes would no longer be required

So this sounds terrible right but season sounds so amazing what do we do my friends the good news is that biomes have been the answer all along i believe the simple solution for adding seasons to minecraft would be to add them as biomes from the autumn forest to the spring

Blossom forest the possibilities are plentiful with even variations of each being welcomed as well these biomes could even have exclusive weather events like windy days revealing falling leaves from the trees or sandstorms with deserts and blizzards with snowy tundras if you ask me that sounds more like the

Minecraft we all know and love so if we were to add more biomes to minecraft to better match the seasons of our real world what might they look like well my friend i’ve actually prepared a few small examples so what better way to find out than by

Jumping in game and seeing for ourselves my friends grab your coat because it’s starting to get a little chilly outside or at least it would be if seasons were in the game but instead we’ve got a biome to give us the same effect this is the autumn forest right when the

Leaf colors start to change we’ve got red orange and yellow leaf canopies on top of normal oak and birch trees this is a variation to the existing forest biome much like how there’s a lukewarm ocean with the ocean this is something that i think would be

Amazing and honestly i think i speak for every minecraft player out there who would say this is something we’ve been wanting for a very long time this biome would feature coarse dirt even pumpkin patches and probably even dead bushes to really give it that vibe of an autumn forest and honestly

This looks amazing this would be a biome that i would more than likely build in every single time i played in a minecraft world the surrounding colors are just captivating and imagine seeing falling leaves as well that would be awesome now i do have a challenge for you if

There was a unique mob that spawned in this biome what do you think it would be but i don’t think that biome is anywhere near as amazing as the spring blossom forest yet again another variation to the forest this time focusing on the spring as you can see we’ve got the lovely long

Awaited cherry blossom trees in minecraft fit with custom blocks custom leaves and even more decorations and a new type of flower that generates on top of leaf canopies this place is amazing and very beautiful you can see that we’ve got a new type of feature that would also bring a world to life

And that being granite rocks i would love to see andesite diorite and granite used this way to where we get more boulders throughout the various different biomes that with a couple of fallen over trees maybe even a couple of chopped logs and we would have a really nice looking biome

But as far as seasons go this place is fit for the spring as you can see we’ve got plenty of flowers around and like i said a new type of flower that grows on top of trees this is just a decoration and another way to get dye

But it looks amazing i mean look at how lovely these trees look imagine also seeing the falling leaves this would be amazing and if there was a biome that would introduce a windy day i think this would be that particular biome now a long time

Ago i’m talking in one of my very very first let’s plays i actually retextured dark oak to look like a cherry oak tree and in that i created one of my favorite textures i’ve ever seen in minecraft and that is of course the cherry oak block this is

Amazing it’s kind of in between spruce and dark oak but it gives us a little bit more vibrance on the red and pink scale and honestly this is a very fun block to build with take it from experience this is something that would be amazing in minecraft so a biome like this would

Be a great opportunity to not only add new flowers but also new leaves and new tree types all together of course let me know what you think of that down in the comments below and last but certainly not least for the biomes that bring seasons into minecraft this is the winter

Forest now a lot of you watching this video will already be familiar with this in fact those of you who play bedrock edition will laugh at us java players because simply put we don’t have this feature in the game yet parody is a thing in minecraft they are working on

Bringing the two games together meaning we’ll eventually in java edition have armor stands that can be right-clicked for new poses and boats with leads ah the possibilities i’m very excited but this is actually something already in bedrock edition where tree leaves when they have a snow layer on top will automatically turn

White this is a very effective change i love how this looks especially in the spruce tundra taiga forest biomes this is amazing and really gives off the effect of being in a cold biome if i ever needed a coat throughout this video now is the time i am shivering you just

Can’t see it because it’s you know minecraft but anyways this would be a very simple change that i think would be very effective add in a couple of snow mobs like the snow golem and even new mobs like a yeti that would be amazing and you’ve got yourself a fantastic

Winter biome without ever having to change existing biomes through season mechanics this plus the autumn forest and spring blossom and probably a couple of new biomes in between would be the perfect seasonal update for minecraft while being the minecraft that we all know and love but of course i would love

To hear your thoughts down in the comments below you know i’m pretty confident that phil has plans to take over the workshop but for now we don’t have to worry about that do we we’ve got bill to protect us right bill you’re definitely not running away in terror yeah

Okay well i just wanted to say huge thank you to everybody for watching today this has been an amazing month i very very much appreciate all of the support but i did want to talk about some things because there are actually quite a lot of things happening over the course of

And i’m very excited but i wanted to know out of curiosity who is all interested in that let me know in the comments below if you have any plans to maybe get one it’s basically a full form to support the channel but also take part in a completely

Limited experience i mean like i said i don’t think they will ever be made again but that being said that is basically gonna do it for today’s video let me know what you think of seasons and other awesome changes like this in minecraft i love theory videos i don’t do them too often

But they’re very different from my normal style i’ve actually been working on making my videos a little bit better recently through modding so hopefully we’ll be seeing some really cool ideas come to the channel very very soon but that being said that is going to do it for today’s video
