permafrost biome
by tombkingsts
Permafrost Biome, by tombkingsts, adds a frozen ice biome with dangerous Magic illagers, ice structures and a set of ice tools and armor.
What it does
The biome is covered with ice and snow and spawns a small number of illusioner illagers. Three new structures and two new illager mobs are added, including an ice wizard that shoots bullets with high knockback, summons lightning and launches energy balls that explode on contact. Its tower generates with illusioners that despawn, and the wizard can summon ice spikes that form walls around the player.
A boss mob is included with a grand structure filled with things that protect a skeleton, which can summon ice wisps. Players gather ice shards to power the altars that give the skeleton its strength. The ice wisp requires an ice amulet, and defeating one leaves enchanted ice and ice crystals, which upgrade diamond tools and armor into ice tools and armor. The mod adds two ranged weapons, a toolset, new blocks and new advancements. It runs on client and server and is published for Forge only, across six game versions, 1.16.5 – 1.20.1. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source; it was made with MCreator.
