There is a legacy setting in the NBT configs that was previously enabled for debugging purposes, and which PitchBright currently uses because his server is centered around an Extreme Hills biome, which is never very warm - this setting is named "SpringDefrost" and was added and used by default long before any temperature-based melting was added. This setting acts to melt snow and ice extremely quickly, in addition to the slower temperature-based melting.
The temperature based melting for snow works as such:
Looking through the code, there is currently a bug where ice does not experience temperature-based melting. This will be fixed for the next version.
I waited 3 days in the summer and it didn't melt.
snow, or ice?
both. I shared screens with you after a while of it not melting . The_WeatherPony I noticed ice didn't melt in the desert I was going to report this but, I can see you have already found that out. snow didn't appear to be melting and it seemed like it was the seasons.dat because, I used PitchBrights And it was melting more like it use to . I know you turned it down a bit but, how long is it suppose to take to melt. I can test this out agian to see if anything else comes up today.
nope still didn't work and this time I tried a hot biome.
Images link was added and I can rule out tempiture since A seasons.dat fixes it B tested it in a flat nether world and in the nether dimension and the snow didn't melt. http://imgur.com/a/0OMMn . The image url is also at the top
When I go and test it for myself, snow melts properly. I've already made changes in that section of the code for the next version, including the formulas involved, so such a problem may have been fixed indirectly, already. Regardless, it is working for the next version. Also, I've made it so that ice blocks will melt properly in the next version.
The temperature melting formula for the next version is linear, rather than cubic, making it much easier to follow. Ice runs the logic twice, to make it less susceptible to melting than the snow tiles. The craftable snow blocks will remain unaffected by seasonal heat, as an intended feature for builders. This may be readdressed for MC1.9, which adds igloos.
Ok I will note if this happens again. I will put it on my to test list for every single update.
Priority: High Version: beta9 Images Snow: http://imgur.com/a/0OMMn Images Ice: http://imgur.com/a/KrFYi Also made sure that these biomes were in summer as well.
Description: Snow/Ice doesn't melt by default settings when last time it did melt. I then tried to see if it was the seasons.dat file which PitchBright gave me his and it seemed to have fixed the issue. This proves it is the default settings not allowing it to melt snow/ice when seasons allows it to.
Unseccesfull
succesfull
Conclusion: seasons.dat was not configured right so the snow/ice didn't melt by default regardless weather or not it was summer or spring. If the settings are changed it will melt. I also noticed in the deafault nbt tag there was spring defrost 0 by default so I think that could have been the issue However I am not sure.
