    'Minecraft' Mod Fosters the Collaboration Of Climate Change</h1>
    <html><body><p><p><br/> A Minecraft modder has added fresh gameplay issues for players to deal with in the form of climate change. Nick Porillo's GlobalWarming mod alters the atmosphere in response to certain actions such as smelting ores. Temperatures will increase as carbon emissions increase, leading to violent storms, forest fires and the loss of snowfall as climate change becomes more prevalent.<br/></p><br/><p><br/> You can combat the effects of climate change by planting trees to absorb carbon dioxide. To combat the issue on a larger scale you can buy carbon offsets, which give other players a bounty of trees to complete -- which is a reflection of one of the mod's concepts of working together to combat climate change.<br/></p><br/><p><br/> "If the majority of players don't agree to play near-carbon-neutrally in the way they play, then the carbon score will continue to rise in-game. Porillo explained to Motherboard that players will start paying back the 'debt' they've incurred after the damage is done. "The idea is that players should put in a bit more effort at the beginning to not emit much smoke, and thus avoid paying the ultimate price."<br/></p><br/><p><br/> He is planning to add additional features, such as a scorecard that lets you see who the most carbon-neutral players are, figuring out your own carbon footprint, and adding methane as a second greenhouse gas. This mod is compatible with Minecraft Server Java Edition.  <a href="https://minecraft-servers.site/">Minecraft Servers</a> You can download it from GitHub.<br/></p></p></body></html>
