##### MapGen

I did *not* fix Snow's mapgen issue with "PlantLife" (another great, Minetest
standard) based mods. Mapgen stuff is far beyond my current skill level.
What little changes I did make were to switch-out Snow nodes that Minetest
now has as defaults (dirt_with_snow, snow, ice). My thoughts being that
texture packs and other mods that use these nodes are more likely
to support default nodes.
I also added a line above and below in the mapgen.lua indicating where to
put the comment symbols to comment-out/disable Snow's mapgen. "PlantLife" based
mods will not produce if Snow's mapgen is active.

*Snow's mapgen is active by default.*
I did not disable it, merely indicated were the comment symbols
are to be placed.
To compensate for the loss of snow resources when Snow's mapgen is disabled,
I created crafting recipes that allows players to craft more snow, ice,
and moss. This not only encourages snow builds, but also allows the
players to create snow biomes where they want and whatever size
they are willing to make them.

full-sized ice blocks will not freeze water into ice.

* Snow brick texture reworked and based off of the default stone brick

permanent mess. The up-side, this is a convenient way to carry water,
if buckets are disabled on your server, by keeping full-sized snow
stuff and ice blocks in your inventory to, later, melt where you
need water.

* All snow and ice blocks can be crafted into basic slabs and stairs.
The default slabs stack into full-sized blocks.
* Soft dependency on a recent release MoreBlocks so all snow and
ice blocks are compatible with the circular saw. If you don't have
MoreBlocks installed, Snow will ignore the code for those fancy blocks
and use basic stairs and slabs instead.

* Snowballs can be thrown (left-click) to build up layers. After the
eleventh layer, the bottom 9 layers change into a snow block. At a
very close distance, throwing snowballs can be used as a technique to
build-up gradual slopes. If you have lots and lots of snow balls, with
rapid-fire throwing, you can, very briefly, "white-out" another player's
view if your aim is good enough to hit them in the face.

accurate than throwing snow from a distance. By placing snow, players
are able to create their own, personal, snow biomes.

* Vertical clearance check for tree growth. The nine blocks above the
spot where the sapling is placed must be free and clear of all
obstructions or else the sapling will not be allowed to grow.
Griefers could place the saplings in builds and when the tree grows it
may not destroy nodes but it fills the available air space leaving a
mess for the build's owner to clean-up. Now the trees will only grow

Because pine trees (and Christmas trees) will grow on any solid surface,
their saplings are handy to take with you when deep mining. Just before
you run out of tool wood, dig out a space large enough for a tree to
grow, plant a pine or Christmas tree sapling then place 2 torches on
either side, right next to the sapling. After the tree grows harvest
the trunk for tool wood, the leaves for short-run fuel in the furnace
and for saplings to renew your tool wood supply again.
