# Spring

## 🌸 Spring

*Blossoms drift on the wind and the rain returns. Crops sprout quickly and animals breed more often.*

***

### **How it looks?**

* Grass and leaves turn a fresh, bright green. Water is clear and light blue.
* 45% of the oak trees blossom pink like cherry trees in early and mid spring (`biomes.yml` → `block-swaps`). They come in natural groups that fade into the green trees around them.
* Pink cherry petals drift down from blossoming trees; fewer trees means fewer petals (`particles.yml`).
* Wild flowers pop up on the grass in plains, meadows and forests, and wither again when spring ends (`blooms.yml`).
* Pollen floats over meadows on clear days; fireflies appear on late-spring nights.
* Birdsong on spring mornings (`ambience.yml`).

***

### **Weather and time**

* Rain on about 40% of days, thunderstorms rarely (`weather.yml`).
* Day and night are about even; nights get a little shorter in late spring (`daylight.yml`).
* Snow left from winter melts away gradually, patch by patch (`snow.yml`).

***

### **Temperature**

* Mild: from about -2 °C in early spring up to 4 °C in late spring on top of the biome's own climate (`temperature.yml` → `climate.seasons`).

***

### **Farming and animals**

* Field crops (wheat, carrots, potatoes, beetroots) grow 20-40% faster (`crops.yml`).
* Animals always breed, often have twins (up to 20%), and can breed again sooner (`animals.yml`).
* Bees, rabbits and frogs appear near players; animals have babies (`wildlife.yml`).
* More rabbits, slimes and bees spawn; slightly fewer creepers (`mobs.yml`).

***

### **Fishing**

* Fish bite 10% faster. Special catches: **Blossom Salmon** and **Meltwater Trout** (`fishing.yml`).

***

### **Festivals**

* **Blossom Festival** on day 3 (`festivals.yml`). Easter follows the real-world date.
