Frost Aspect
by paultomohio
With Frost Aspect installed, a weapon enchanted with the Frost Aspect enchantment freezes the entities it strikes, much as Fire Aspect sets them alight.
What it does
Frost Aspect adds an enchantment that works like Fire Aspect, except that a hit freezes the target instead of lighting it on fire. The effect applies to melee hits from the enchanted item, so a sword or axe with the enchantment keeps freezing enemies for as long as it is held and used. Frost Aspect is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it.
The enchantment is driven by data tags, so modpacks can change which items and damage types count. Items added to the frostaspect:frost_aspect_applies tag can receive the enchantment, entities in frostaspect:immune_frost_aspect ignore it, and damage types listed in frostaspect:triggers_frost_aspect activate it. The mod is published for Forge only, with its latest file, 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, dated 2025-06-01. It is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Frost Aspect enchantment
A melee enchantment that freezes the target on hit, in the same way Fire Aspect sets targets alight.
Tag-controlled items
Items listed in the frost_aspect_applies tag can carry the enchantment, which lets a pack extend it to other weapons.
Immune entities
Entities placed in the immune_frost_aspect tag are not frozen by the enchantment.
Configurable damage triggers
Damage types in the triggers_frost_aspect tag activate the enchantment, so the effect can follow player attacks, mob attacks or other sources.

What the author says
Adds the enchantment Frost Aspect. It's exactly as you would expect. Instead of lighting what you hit on fire, it freezes it. Note: This does not work with mods that let you dual wield (attack with the off-hand)
