Snowballs Freeze Mobs

by Serilum

Hitting a mob with a snowball freezes it for a configurable length of time, and Snowballs Freeze Mobs is the server-side mod that adds this behavior.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer-side onlyAll rights reserved1.16.5 – 26.3

What it does

When a snowball strikes a mob, the mob is frozen for the duration set by the freezeTimeMs option, which defaults to 5000 milliseconds and accepts values from 0 up to 3600000. The mod is minimalistic and only changes that one behavior. It is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and it is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 26.3. Installation requires Collective.

Files cover 29 release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.3, and the latest file is 26.3.0-4.1-fabric+forge+neo. The mod is first published 2022-09-01 and last updated 2026-10-02. The code is not open source, and it is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Timed freezing

    A mob struck by a snowball stays frozen for the number of milliseconds set in the config.

  2. Configurable duration

    The freezeTimeMs option sets the freeze length, with a range from 0 to 3600000 milliseconds.

  3. Single behavior

    The mod changes only snowball hits on mobs and leaves other gameplay alone.
