With 1.7.2 coming up, there is a new feature in the Extreme Hills Biome. That feature is that any block found at or above y=95, there will be snow formed upon that block every time it snows.

Many players have builds which exceed the y=95 mark. With the upcoming 1.7.2 update to Minerealm, our server is updating all the biomes across the map.

For those who have builds not intended to be in Extreme Hills Biome, or already have a build in an Extreme Hills Biome, find that attempting to hide snow at high elevations would be a bother.

For those who say that snow is intended to be at high elevations for builds in Extreme Hills, my proposal applies to all biomes being updated, and the possibility of large builds being affected.

I like my ice-cream to be vanilla.

So you're basically requesting that Intelli change terrain generation to make building easier?

If you want to avoid snow collecting on top of your build, just put down string.

I disagree with this. How much will this snow affect our builds? Hardly at all.

I love snow, it gives stuff a nice look. If you're so offended, either just dig up the snow or cover the rest of the building with snow. Don't make Intelli do work for what you can easily fix yourself.

just more work for intelli or what ever staff is programing

But i want my perfect fluffed snow that makes perfect ski slopes and brings beauty to the empty griefed world we call minerealm. It makes the damage look ancient and actually cool to some degree.

As a very biased sourced who is now extremely regretting having a sky build at y180 over an extreme hills biome I fully support this. Oh god what have I done >.>

On a realvant topic, I built In a non snow biome why should I be forced to have my entire build basically moved into a snow biome?

It's not for building easier, it's for the finished product.

Snow gives a nice look with builds when it is intended to. I'm not speaking just for myself here, and I may not even have snow in the Biome Regeneration, it's for others. 30 blocks above sea level and you're in the snow territory if you end up in Extreme Hills Biome. It's all personal preference depending on the person.

Let's say areas of Spawn City is changed to Extreme Hills with the new map generation. That's pretty much the majority of the builds in Spawn City.
