Icewind
Icewind, a mod by Meow organization, adds a temperature system with new items and enchantments for players who want a colder survival experience.
What it does
Icewind combines a datapack and a resource pack with a mod, so temperature effects, new items and new enchantments reach the game together. Its author describes it as covering a lot more of the game's mechanics, with added detail meant to make the world feel more immersive.
The server has to run the mod, while players may add it to their own installs and the server still works without them. Icewind is open source under the MIT License, and public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with the latest build 1.1 for 1.21.4, dated 2025-05-07.
Key features
Temperature effects
Temperature is tracked as part of the survival loop, so cold conditions affect the player's state in the world.
New items
The mod adds items to the game, with the food category as its primary focus.
New enchantments
Enchantments added by the mod can be applied to gear, extending what players can equip.
Datapack and resource pack content
Part of the content ships as a datapack and resource pack alongside the mod code.
