Pagophobia (preAlpha)
by vinntekk
Pagophobia puts a player in a frozen wasteland where the snow never stops, and the mod's power grid, heat and mining systems decide whether a base survives.
What it does
Players build generators that extract emeralds through crypto rigs, regulate body heat and endure an eternal winter. Generators produce power across five tiers, and cables and machines connect to a grid that has to be balanced to keep a base running. Crypto rigs come in three tiers, and Basic Titan units can be improved for quicker processing and larger returns. Rigs wear down over time and are fixed with a wrench. ATM terminals let players cash out earnings, and emerald generators can be fueled automatically.
Body temperature affects everything. Radiators warm the air around a base, enclosed rooms hold heat, underground caves offer geothermal shelter, and lava, fire and campfires help in an emergency. A watch HUD warns the player when the cold is closing in. Shift and right-click a power grid block with a wrench to read detailed diagnostics on the grid's supply, demand, links and rig condition.
Pagophobia requires Cloth Config API and Kotlin for Forge. It is built for Forge 1.20.1 only, with the latest file released on 2026-08-15 on the alpha channel, and it is released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

Wake up in a frozen wasteland. Build generators, mine emeralds with crypto rigs, manage your body heat, and survive the eternal Fimbulwinter. The snow never stops, and neither should you. The Fimbulwinter has consumed everything. Snow falls endlessly. The sky is dark. The End is a void of black silence, and the…
