Talk:Winter mode

File
If you aren't afraid of a little modding, you can download a freshly generated "Winter mode" map here. You can install this file by downloading it and unzipping it to your \.minecraft\saves folder.
 * Installation

For Windows XP and below this is located in your "C:\Documents and Settings\Account name\Application Data\.minecraft\saves" directory. For Vista & 7 this is located in your "C:\User\Account name\Application Data\.minecraft\saves" directory.

For Ubuntu it can be found in your HOME folder (hit CTRL+H to reveal it as it's a hidden folder)
 * this file is silly. you can change the value of the map's snow condition with NBTedit if you REALLY want it. Kizzycocoa 19:38, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Is it possible for this to be generated in already-created infdev maps, if you walk far enough to force the game to generate new terrain? I haven't tried it, and was wondering if anyone else had either. --J0z 19:16, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 * No. It is a map value, meaning you get either all snow in one map, or no snow. Probably when Notch adds biomes, it will be possible. --Demki 20:30, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Desert Mode
I know this might not be the right place, but I would like to see a desert mode, with lots of sand, little water, in oasis' etc. Then mountain in one side of the map, on the other side of the mountain, there will be a grassy area similar to the regular mode. In the desert there will be lots of cacti(?). and other similar traits of the desert. - unsigned.
 * You got it in Biomes and cactus. --JellyfishGreen 19:19, 23 April 2011 (UTC)


 * If Notch adds in Sandstorms in which someone on twitter suggested to him we might add a Desert Mode article. --R ocĸetor talk  21:24, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Update!
This page seriously needs to be updated (or merged) after the halloween update. -F1racer101 07:37, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

When released...

Not the same as Biomes
Just noting that my old Alpha Winter Mode map finally got some weather... and it was rain.

I suppose the biome generator that came in later versions doesn't automatically tag old snowy sites as winter biomes, except where they accidentally overlap naturally. Anyone else confirm or deny? --JellyfishGreen 19:17, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Winter Mode was not a biome. Biomes were introduced after Winter Mode. I have fixed the page. --65.50.106.175 00:53, 1 December 2011 (UTC) Captain Man
