Ice is Forever

by bscit

Ice is Forever keeps ice blocks from melting, and a config option decides whether melting follows the current dimension.

What it does

Ice placed in the world stays in place instead of turning to water when the sun or light levels would normally melt it. A basic version of the mod that makes ice melt is the standard vanilla behavior, and this build reverses it. The config can make melting depend on the dimension a player is currently in, so ice may persist in one dimension and melt in another. The mod carries a small performance improvement intended for servers. Forge and NeoForge builds cover 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, and the latest files target 1.20.6. It runs only on the server, so players join without installing it. The code is under the MIT License and is open source.

Key features

  1. Ice does not melt

    Placed ice blocks remain as they are rather than melting into water over time.

  2. Dimension-based melting

    A configuration setting determines whether ice melts depending on the dimension the player is in.

  3. Server performance tweak

    A small added change aims to reduce the server load caused by ice updates.
