Blizzard
by lanse
Blizzard turns a Fabric world into a freezing challenge, where snow piles up without limit and the player must stay warm to avoid damage.
What it does
Blizzard adds a storm that freezes the world. Snow generates in custom patterns and piles up endlessly, trees decay and die, and overworld and End mobs become buffed versions of strays. The player gradually gets colder and takes freezing damage unless warmed by a light source such as a torch or lava, and the mod can be set to give a light source at the start of the game. It is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and it is released under the MIT License as open source for 1.20.1.
Key features
Freezing storm
A blizzard gradually lowers the player's temperature, and freezing damage starts unless the player warms up.
Light sources keep players warm
Torches, lava and other light sources block the cold, and the mod can grant a light source at the start.
Snow and mob changes
Custom snow generation builds up without limit, trees decay, and mobs in the overworld and End are upgraded to buffed strays.

How it compares
Light Level 7 Spawning is also server-side only and open source under the MIT License, but it targets 1.20.1 and changes mob spawning instead of the weather. Challenges is server-side only and open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with files for 1.21.1 – 26.2, so it suits newer versions.
