Project Atmosphere: Realistic Climate & Weather

❄️ Eternal Snow Announcement

A fix will be released this week for the eternal snow biome melting bug.
(At the moment even jagged peaks get melted due to how snow history is handled — this is being addressed!)

⚙️ Optimisation Update

Major performance improvements to snow logic:

• Reduced server-thread usage from 24% → 14% (with Project Atmosphere running on Forge).
• Internal logic optimised for smoother gameplay.
• Further optimisations in SS+ logic: ~10% less server usage.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed the issue causing Project Atmosphere to hang.
  (I was calling the wrong method to check rain status in PA’s logic, which caused the server thread to hang at startup. This is now patched.)

🧪 Dev Notes

• I tested PA inside the SS+ dev environment — it worked fine there, so I’m assuming it’s good standalone, but I’ll run extra tests tomorrow.
• Honestly, I was running through snowy biomes and didn’t even notice snow placement because it was so fast now. 🚀
