Freeze Block
Freeze Block lets a single placed torch keep snow and ice from forming and water from freezing across a wide area around it.
What it does
A torch placed with the mod stops new snow accumulation and water freezing within a large radius around it. The area is square or circular, depending on the radius setting, and the effect also holds back winter from Serene Seasons. The mod changes only new snow and ice: existing snow and ice stay where they are, and blocks placed by hand inside the protected area still get snow and ice in the usual way.
Crafting works without an unusual recipe. A shapeless recipe needs one blaze powder and at least one torch, and adding more torches produces a resulting torch with a smaller radius of effect. Freeze Block is published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, with 1.0.1 as the latest file. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and it is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, which makes it open source. Public links cover the source code.
Key features
Freezing prevention torch
A torch blocks new snow and ice from forming and water from freezing within a large radius around it.
Shapeless crafting recipe
The torch is crafted from one blaze powder and at least one torch, with a shapeless recipe that takes no fixed layout.
Radius scales with torch count
Each extra torch in the recipe yields a resulting torch with a smaller radius, so the protected area shrinks as more torches are combined.
Square or circular radius
The protected region can be square or circular, depending on how the radius values are set.

What the author says
Craft torches which prevent snow acculumation and water freezing in a large radius. (This works for preventing it from Serene Seasons winter, too.) The recipe is shapeless - a single blaze powder, and at least one torch. The more torches you use, the more resulting torches you get, but the smaller radius they affect.
