A Vanilla+ Freezing Temperature Mod - sister mod of Scorchful!

Frostiful Title Image






Frostiful is a Vanilla+ combat and survival temperature mod that substantially reworks the Powder Snow freezing mechanics. It introduces more ways of freezing and being frozen, as well as new methods for warming up again.

Freezing

There are now many more ways to freeze to death in addition to powder snow with Frostiful installed. Passive freezing, icicles, and new enchantments are some of the exciting new ways that you can now freeze to death!

There are also new ways of resisting the cold! Use Fur Tufts to craft fur armor, which provides Frost Resistance to help you keep warm and resist the creeping winter. When you get too cold, warm up by the light of a fire or by getting some heat from a Sun Lichen-covered rock, or even steal the heat from your enemies with Enervation!

Frostology and the Re-Branded Iceologer

Frostology is a new form of Illager magic that deals with all matters of cold and frost. Frostologers are a new take on the Iceologer from Minecraft Dungeons, and they are the master of this magic. They reside in their snowy fortresses in the Snowy Plains and Ice Spikes biomes, where they are surrounded by an army of Chillagers at their call. Chillagers wield Crossbows loaded with Glacial Arrows that are capable of long-distance freezing. Having mastered the magic of Frost, the Frostologer is not immune to freezing, but is instead strengthened by it. When they are cold, they gain tremendous power. However, that power is lost if they warm up again.

You can wield this magic, too. By defeating the Frostologer you are able to craft the Frost Wand, which can cast spells that freeze your enemies in place when they are hit. If you can demonstrate your mastery over the cold by defeating an Ominous Frostologer Trial, you can also get the Cloak of Frostology. The Cloak is an obtainable cape item that reverses the effects of freezing to make you become like the Frostologer yourself. Be careful though! With the Frostology Cloak on, you will begin to melt if you get too warm!

Configuration

Frostiful is extremely highly configurable. It has an extensive config that lets you play around with different settings, disable features, or tweak the values of various things to adjust the difficulty of the mod. For example, if you're not all that into survival, you can completely disable environmental freezing! It also has a fair amount of datapack integration for more complex things like temperature effects.

Frostiful also exposes a number of vanilla mechanics related to freezing to configuration or datapacks, such as what boots can be used to walk on powder snow, how much and how often freeze damage applies when fully frozen, and the effects you get from being cold.

Wiki

Frostiful has a comprehensive player and developer wiki available at https://modded.wiki/w/Frostiful. Thanks to Patbox for hosting this!

Mod Integrations

Frostiful has built-in integrations for many mods. You can get even more from Thermoo Patches, which offers a suite of integration patches for many other mods, such as Origins, Fabric Seasons, Serene Seasons, Colorful Hearts, Overflowing Bars, Armor Points++, Ad Astra, and more!
