Frozen Waters

by AvaAsUsual

Frozen Waters turns ocean travel into a deterrent for boats by freezing the water players sail across on large oceans.

What it does

Players who cross large oceans by boat find the water frozen over their route, which pushes them toward the new features added by Small Ships. The mod is a datapack for servers and runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21.1. The server needs it, while players may add it or leave it out. The license is custom and the mod is not open source.

Key features

  1. Frozen ocean surfaces

    Ocean water is changed into ice, so boats cannot travel straight across large bodies of water.

  2. Boat travel discouraged

    Direct sea routes by boat are blocked, which steers players toward other ways of moving between continents.

  3. Datapack delivery

    The changes are applied through a datapack, so a server can run them alongside other mods for 1.21.1.

What the author says

Don't you just hate when you add special features to your modpack, and people just ignore them? Me too! That is why I created Frozen Waters, the perfect datapack to dissuade the usage of boats or direct travel through large oceans!
