What it does

Ice Castles is a data pack for servers that adds a new structure found in cold biomes. The castles are recognized from a distance because a giant ice skull stands above each one. Their interior is guarded by green shulkers, and the structures contain no loot. The pillager outposts in the same biomes are not changed, and allays can be found inside the castles holding prisoners.

The server must run the data pack, while players may leave it out. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering 1.21.4 – 26.3 in 13 release versions, with 1.0+mod for 26.3 as the latest file. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. New cold biome structure

    A castle generates in cold biomes as a new structure added through the data pack.

  2. Guarded interior

    Green shulkers guard the inside of each castle, and the structure holds no loot to collect.

  3. Landmark skull

    A giant ice skull above each castle makes the structure visible from a distance.

What the author says

Ice Castles have the same interest as pillager outpost as allays can be found prisonner in them! Those structures can be found in cold biomes and are guarded by green shulkers (they don't loot anything). Those structures can be recognized because of the giant ice skull above them.
