# Calendar, Seasons & Events ## Calendar CraftHorizon has a calendar system - as the calendar progresses throughout the year, the seasons change and the world changes along with it. The current date and season can be seen on the scoreboard. In case of resource pack, mod or shader pack conflicts, seasonal colour changes can be toggled with /toggleseasoncolors or via /settings. ## Seasons Some things to note: * No resource pack or mod is required for the biome changes. This is all done through vanilla mechanics. * Bedrock players may see some slightly different biomes colours due to how the game is coded. * Your builds may be visually affected by the seasonal changes, but these changes are not permanent. * Biome names in F3 or other HUD elements are obscured by the seasons plugin. You can use **/currentbiome** to get the name of the biome you're currently standing in. ### Spring Start: Day 1 of Month 3\ End: Day 31 of Month 5 * \[Survival only] Ice that formed in Winter will begin to slowly melt at the start of the season * This process will accelerate as the season progresses * Leaves in forests will turn pink.
