Marge, careful when calling someone idiot. Consider this: the snowfall "stacks" in real world yet it doesn't pile up to the clouds (well, at high area it can, but that is beside the point). The thing is, people expect the behavior requested here (without thinking that there should also be some limiting factor(s) as it is "taken for granted"). Limiting the accumulation can be done trivially (or more naturally and less trivially, if so desired).

And as the Dinnerbone's tweet tells, they already had this implemented. The particular implementation just caused too much load (i.e. lag).

Dude your an idiot if it stacked up while snowing it would be at the clouds .

Sooo will this be re-opened?

Ok Markku thanks for the help.

GrygrFlzr (<- reading and typing exercise), has Mojang devs confirmed that to you? If so, I take your word for it and it was just a bit badly worded comment by Mojang (with that "fully implemented"). I can live with it. (I can also see some difficulties in implementing gradually and naturally increasing snow stacks, so I could understand deciding to leave it out.)

If not, please do not turn moderator's / other player's opinions into a fact. We have one "official" wiki to thank for enough many misunderstandings already

GrygrFlzr: How do you know what that means? Please reopen.

Comment by GrygrFlzr [ 31/Jan/13 ]

Markku: That line means that you can now stack different snow heights in creative mode.

Comment by Markku [ 31/Jan/13 ]

Considering that Mojang's official snapshot comments says "fully implemented multiple snow heights." (emphasis mine), I certainly would expect also snowfall to gradually increase the stack height (within limits since there is probably no melting at bottom!)

Otherwise, what is there "fully implemented" about
