Hypothermic
by lixir
Hypothermic adds a freezing mechanic that makes cold water biomes dangerous to cross without protection on Forge.
What it does
Water biomes where the snow temperature falls low enough deal damage quickly to players who stand in them. The freezing mechanic applies in those biomes, so travel through cold water becomes a risk that has to be planned for. Players can counter the effect with freezing resistance potions brewed from frostweeds.
The mod also adds a freeze aspect enchantment, which inflicts freezing on struck enemies, and several freezing related potions and enchantments. Many settings are configurable, so server owners can tune how strong the effect is. Hypothermic is a Forge mod for 1.18.2 – 1.19.4, and it was ported to Fabric by its author.
Installing it requires Forge for the matching game version. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
