Cold Feet?
by Herr_Chaos
Cold Feet? changes the Frost Walker enchantment on boots, letting it freeze water and turn lava into frosted magma when the wearer walks across it.
What it does
The enchantment's maximum level is configurable, with a default of 4. Ice generation also works while sprinting and while riding most mounts, and existing frosted blocks are replenished even when the player stands still. Waterlogged kelp and seagrass are replaced with ice, and each of these changes can be switched off in the settings.
The mod is built on the owo-lib library, which must be installed alongside it on Fabric or Quilt. It runs on the client and the server, so both sides need the mod. Files cover 1.20.1 – 1.20.4 with four release versions, and the latest build is 1.2.3 for 1.20.4 from 2024-02-02. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who use the Frost Walker enchantment on Fabric or Quilt and want to change its level cap or how far it reaches. Server owners can adjust the same options for a shared world.
How it compares
Lava Walker Enchantment is client and server, open source under the Apache License 2.0, and published only for Fabric 1.20.1, so it does not cover Quilt or 1.20.4. key's Wild Temperatures also runs on Fabric and Quilt for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4 and is client and server, but it is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and changes temperature rather than frost mechanics.
