✅ Seasonal Flora Update (Winter Purge Fix)

This update focuses on making seasonal flora cleanup reliable, especially during Winter, while keeping the system lag-safe and respecting player-placed blocks.

🧊 Winter Cleanup Now Works

• Seasonal flora (flowers, mushrooms, berries, etc.) is now correctly removed during Winter according to remove_seasons.
• Cleanup is performed gradually over time using the configured budget to avoid lag spikes.

✅ Fixed Surface Detection (Root Cause)

• The purge system now correctly scans around the surface level instead of only checking the top solid block.
• This prevents cases where flowers placed at y+1 were never detected and therefore never removed.

🧠 Improved Rule Handling

• max_per_chunk and spacing rules now behave correctly because the system detects flora blocks properly.
• Seasonal rules now match the intended design (example: mushrooms can spawn in Autumn only and be removed in Winter).

🛡️ Player-Placed Protection

• protect_player_placed: true continues to ensure that player-placed flora is not deleted during seasonal purge.

🌍 Now Open Source

• The project is now open source, so anyone can review the code, contribute improvements, or adapt it for their own server.

⚙️ Recommended Config (Optional, but Strongly Suggested)

To ensure protection and cleanup remain consistent across restarts:

• persist_placements: true
• persist_autosave_minutes: 5
