Ecliptic Seasons: TFC repair

Ecliptic Seasons: TFC repair (ESTFC) 

is a mod that uses Ecliptic Seasons visual snow system to replace TerraFirmaCraft block snow system, in order to fix the issue where Distant Horizons and other mods have no real-time snow in TFC distant views.

1. Snow and Textures ☃️

• The appearance, accumulation, and melting of snow are fully determined by TFC temperature and weather, while temperature is also affected by altitude. By default, TFC is prevented from placing physical snow blocks (config tfcPhysicalSnow can restore vanilla physical snow).
  (Each biome samples local temperature/precipitation using a representative point, and the snow coverage rate is determined by accumulated snow depth. When new chunks load, snow is laid out according to the current snow depth; local climate differences may still cause slight seams.)
• Adds visual snow cover to TFC blocks, and supports two snow texture modes:
  • Simple mode (simpleSnow) – all faces uniformly use the estfc:block/snow texture.
  • Replacement mode (default) – replaces the original TFC textures face by face with the corresponding snow texture under the estfc namespace.
• Tag support: through data packs or other mods, use the estfc:simple_snow  (simple mode) and estfc:snowable (replacement mode) tags toextend snow-covered blocks.

2. Mod Compatibility 🖇️

• In LOD meshes generated by DH, color blocks based on the corrected TFC temperature so that distant snow colors match near ones as closely as possible.
• Regarding the Voxy mod, compatibility has been achieved through Ecliptic Seasons: VoxyCompact, but only for some Voxy versions. For this version, Ecliptic Seasons: VoxyCompact is not needed (it is already built into Voxy), and there are additional features.

• When TFC’s built-in connected textures are enabled (tfcConnectedTexture = true), snow cover textures will not work
  Connected textures conflict with snow cover texture rendering; currently you can only choose one or the other. Connected textures are disabled by default to ensure snow cover works properly.
• Snow cover textures are all generated by a Python script
  They don’t look good 🙁
• During snowfall, already loaded chunks and newly loaded chunks may be out of sync.
