Climate Effects for when temperature is too low

[nsporillo]

Currently we only support neutral or negative climate effects for when temperatures rise too high, but it is possible for the temperature to go below 14.0C when players focus on planting a lot of trees or perhaps when the plugin is installed on a server with an old world where players arent necessarily smelting a lot.

We should consider new climate effects for when the world temperature is too cold! Such as increased ice formation, snow occurring at lower elevations, decreased farm yields, etc.

An inspection of our existing climate effects could certainly give some inspiration for how to implement such changes.

It would be my pleasure to help on this! Just to be clear, is it not okay to also create some positive effects for the temperature going too cold? Or are you referring to creating more negative effects from the cold only?

Both positive and negative effects could make sense, but I tend to believe that closer to 14.0C should be the most ideal. 14.0C is equilibrium, in which we do nothing (vanilla).

I think it’s worth exploring potentially positive effects for when it’s too cold. Let me know what you come up with.

Could one way be to use the cold to reduce the spread of mosquitoes, and other insects that carry harmful diseases? When the temperature drops below a certain temperature in the game, then it causes the mosquito population to go dormant in a specific area, as an example.

I'd love to see the spread of snow and ice from ice biomes as the temp drops below 14C.

It'd also be nice to see bodies of water freeze
