The Frostlands
The Frostlands is a NeoForge world generation mod that adds a new dimension of frozen biomes, dangerous ice terrain and powdery snow to explore.
What it does
Players who travel into the new dimension find frozen biomes that expand the base game's cold regions. Ice terrain can be hazardous, and powdery snow drifts can sink a player who walks in without care. Structures spread across the dimension hold unique items and tools, and players creep through them to reach what is inside.
The mod also brings new enemies that roam the frozen wasteland, new ores with a material said to be better than netherite, new plant life, weapons, armor and food, plus new music discs and teleporters between biomes. Structures, custom splash texts and a painting are included. The mod is built for NeoForge only and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.21.8 and 26.1.2, and the latest file is a build for 26.1.2 published on 2026-06-03. The Frostlands is licensed under All rights reserved and is not open source.
