Snowbound
Snowbound adds a frosty dimension and snow-themed biomes to NeoForge, with weapons, armor and blocks for cold landscapes.
What it does
Snowbound introduces a frosty new dimension that reworks cold biomes and adds mysterious landscapes to explore. Its content includes snow-themed blocks, weapons, armor and items. One new biome, the Boreal Forest, is filled with towering Pine Wood Trees and gives builders a fresh building material in a cold setting.
The mod requires GeckoLib, and the author recommends version 4.6.6. The Frozen Bow shoots frozen arrows that can immobilize enemies, and Frozen Armor adds strong defense along with extra speed for moving through cold biomes. Crafting the armor needs a Blue Ice Cauldron, a special crafting station. Recipes are listed by the author, and JEI is suggested for looking them up.
Snowbound runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files exist for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, and the latest file is 0.1.2, published in the beta channel on 2024-10-21.
