Need To Chill?
Need To Chill? adds frozen food items, ice-making machines and a set of totem-based effects for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1, and it runs on both client and server.
What it does
Ice Cubes, Packed Ice Cubes and Blue Ice Cubes are food items that restore hunger and saturation in increasing amounts, from one hunger bar for a plain cube up to six for a Blue Ice Cube. Crafting them is meant to feed a freezer-based progression, where refrigerators and freezers can be built from saw blades and cutting stations, and cooler results are produced by the upgraded versions.
Players can also obtain an Inverted Totem from a master-level cleric through an emerald trade, and the mod includes a Purified Totem of Undying that activates from the inventory and gives stronger effects than the vanilla item. Industrial machines such as the Industrial Cutting Station and Industrial Smelter speed up processing, and a liquid Blue Ice and an Ice Breaker sword round out the frozen theme. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Because the environment is client and server, the server and every player need it installed. It is published only for Forge on 1.20.1, so a Fabric or NeoForge world cannot use it. Latest Forge file is 1.1.0, released 2026-06-13, and the first public file dates from 2026-06-05.

How it compares
Ice Pickaxe is a Forge 1.20.1 mod that is client and server, and is not open source under All rights reserved. EC Ice and Fire Compat is also a Forge 1.20.1 client and server mod, all rights reserved, but it adds compatibility rather than food. SnowCycle covers 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, so it reaches an earlier version range than this mod's single 1.20.1 build.
