Cryofloric Arts

The mod centers on Frost Dust, a value tracked per chunk that rises and falls with the frozen features players create. Icepetal Dryadbloom grows in the wild and sprouts aquatically when planted near water. A variant slows and freezes creatures much as deep snow would, handing them a short-lived chill. Two detectors read the chunk: the Frost Dust Detector changes its texture to show the current level, and the Snow Accumulation Detector displays the exact value, though it cannot show anything above 10,000.

Combat items extend the theme. The Frostfall Trident leaves a cloud behind when thrown, and its strikes inflict the Frosted and Frost Dust effects on hostile crowds. The Bloated Snowfall Tuber glows and spreads frost into nearby blocks and entities, turning affected creatures into carriers of Frost Powder, which deals freezing damage over time scaled to the effect's level. A creature killed under Frost Powder can spawn an Icepetal Dryadbloom where it dies. Higher Frost Powder levels extend duration and, at level 4 and above, apply Over-Rooting, which stops affected entities from attacking one another.

A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, with 1.54 as the latest file for 1.20.1, and it is still in development, so the author asks players to report bugs.
