SnowCollision-1.0.0.zip  1-click install

A very basic mod that adjusts snow layer and snow blocks to have no collision box, this way you (and other entities) cannot climb up snow and animals won't use it to climb over fences and escape confinement.

NateDoesLife haha you're welcome for dragging it up from the grave then!

Thank the lord, being stopped from going up slab blocks by a slab snow block that generated in front of it is so damn annoying, that and being slowed down....

Oh okay, I didn't think something like this would've been possible with just json edits, that's cool. Didn't even think to look in the zip first before asking.

Maoman There's not really any source code to it- it's literally one or two patches within the zip file that delete the property on snow blocks that gives them a collision box, that's one of the benefits of working with json- the source is contained within the zip file. If you'd like to update it then you're welcome to but frankly the snowlayer block has had a total of two lines change in the last four years so I can just change the release versions and it'll probably work fine.

It is not obsolete, it just has a different use case now.
Blocks with partial snow covering will slow down / sideways-nudge players running over land, similar to slabs, completely at random, as you encounter blocks with slightly higher layers than the one you're currently standing on.
I've always hated this. It's not just annoying, it breaks the player's control loop and introduces artificial inconsistencies to movement, and would be completely fixed by this mod. Kinda amazed I'm the first to ask about this tbh.
Catasteroid I don't suppose you could at least upload the source code to github so I can look at it and see about updating it myself? Assuming you even still have the files after 3 years lol.

The problem was adressed in 1.16.1. Creatures just cannot get over fences since 1.16.1 which makes this mod obsolete.

Thank you.

This issue should have been addressed in the main game ages ago

Moonmonk then allow them to use the skeletons of their less fortunate inmates as ladders to climb the fences ha ha!

what if you want that prison experience for your food "inmates" ?
