Snowy Tweaks
by FrostyByte
Snowy Tweaks is a NeoForge utility that adds recipes for powdered snow, water and rotten flesh items, and runs on the server alone.
What it does
The mod adds a small set of quality-of-life crafting recipes built around winter items. A powdered snow bucket can be crafted from two snowballs, and powdered snow buckets and water buckets can be cooked in a furnace. Rotten flesh can be smoked into leather, so players who collect rotten flesh from mobs get a second use for it.
The mod began as a part of a larger pack, Harsh Winters, and carries its recipes on their own. It is a server-side only mod, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. Files are published for NeoForge across 11 release versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source. The latest file is 1.0 for 1.21.11, published as a beta release on 2026-07-05, the same day the mod was first published and last updated.
Key features
Powdered snow bucket recipe
A powdered snow bucket is crafted from two snowballs, giving winter travel and building an early route to the item.
Cooking bucket recipes
Powdered snow buckets and water buckets can be cooked in a furnace, adding a smelting route for each.
Smoked rotten flesh
Rotten flesh can be smoked into leather, turning a common drop into a crafting material.
Winter survival pack roots
The recipes come from the Harsh Winters pack and were reshaped into a standalone mod for winter survival play.

How it compares
Snowy Tweaks is server-side only, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything.

SnowCrafting is available for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.21 – 1.21.11 and is server required with an optional client, under the Apache License 2.0; Snowy Tweaks covers the same version span on NeoForge alone.
