Frostwalker always melts
by ephys
Frostwalker Always Melts is a Forge and NeoForge equipment mod that removes the light level condition from the Frostwalker enchantment's ice melting.
What it does
In vanilla, frosted ice created by Frostwalker only melts when the light level is low enough, so a little shadow above the water can leave ice behind. This mod removes that light level condition, so frosted ice melts regardless of how bright the spot is. Installing it on the server is enough, because players join without needing it. The code is open source under the MIT License, and files cover 1.16.5, 1.18.2 and 1.20.1, with 3.0.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest release.
Key features
Light-independent melting
