Freezing Apocalypse
by NoHais
Freezing Apocalypse lowers the temperature across the whole world over time, so cold biomes spread until snow and ice cover places that were once warm.
What it does
Over in-game days the world gradually cools. Perpetual weather is enabled, and the drop in temperature applies throughout the map, so even deserts eventually turn cold. Snow and ice appear wherever the climate shifts, and a world that has run long enough can end up looking like a frozen wasteland. The mod was built as a submod for TNA Tough Nails, which means it depends on that companion to function.
The mod is aimed at modpacks that want a slowly worsening, survival-focused setting. The author created a modpack named Frozen Apocalypse around it, and the same design is used in other packs that want a snow apocalypse theme. Because the effect is applied to the entire world, the change is noticeable from the start of a new world and grows steadily over the course of play.
Freezing Apocalypse is Fabric-only, with a single build for 1.20.1, and it runs on both client and server, so the server and every player need it. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Snow and ice spread
Snow and ice appear in areas that were warm, including deserts, as the world cools.
Tough Nails submod
