| Environment | Client, Server |
Serene Seasons is a Java mod for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge that adds seasons to Minecraft. Grass and foliage colors change through the year. In winter, temperatures shift so snow can fall in some biomes that normally never get it. Seasons also affect crop growth, weather and other features. The mod is required on both the client and the server.

Questions about Serene Seasons.
4 questions
How do I install Serene Seasons?
Install Fabric, Forge or NeoForge for your Minecraft version, then put the matching Serene Seasons .jar and any dependency listed for that release into the mods folder and launch with the loader's profile. Releases for 1.20.x to 1.21.x mostly need GlitchCore, and Fabric releases also need Fabric API.
Is Serene Seasons server side or client side?
Both. The mod is required on the client and on the server, so a server without it will not work with clients that have it. It is not a visual tweak that works from one side, because seasons also change temperature, crops and weather.
Which Minecraft versions does Serene Seasons support?
Forge releases run from 1.7.10 to 26.3, NeoForge from 1.20.4 to 26.3, and Fabric from 1.20.1 to 26.3. The newest release, 26.1.2.0.7, is marked beta. Check the Modrinth file list for the exact file that matches your loader and Minecraft version.
Does Serene Seasons need GlitchCore or Fabric API?
It depends on the release. Fabric always needs Fabric API, plus GlitchCore for 1.20.1 to 1.21.11. Forge and NeoForge need GlitchCore for 1.20.x to 1.21.x releases (NeoForge from 1.20.4), and nothing else for the newest 26.x releases. Check the dependencies Modrinth lists for your file.
