The frozen lands
by Superhon
The Frozen Lands is a Fabric world generation mod that turns the whole world into an endless frozen landscape with a harder difficulty level.
What it does
Another level of difficulty is added to Minecraft. Players have to survive hunger and monsters in a world where food and resources are scarce, and the author notes that the game becomes much harder than normal. New blocks, entities and liquids come with the update, and the wither is one of the threats a player must defeat.
The world is infinite and everything in it is frozen, so finding wood, crafting tables and ores takes time. Copper and iron veins sometimes spawn with granite and tuff around them, and igloos are scattered through the terrain. The author asks players to try finding these by exploring before reading the coordinate hints. Installation covers the server and each player's game. It is published for Fabric only, for the game versions 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, under the MIT License, and is not open source.
Key features
Frozen infinite world
The terrain is endless and covered in ice and snow, with no biome outside the frozen theme.
Scarce resources
Wood, crafting tables and ores are hard to come by, so players must search the frozen terrain for them.
Harder difficulty
The mod raises the challenge above normal play, with hunger and monsters pressing on a player with few supplies.
New blocks, entities and liquids
Additional blocks, mobs and liquids are added to the game, and the wither can be defeated as a late threat.

Use cases
Hardcore survival
Players who want a harsh survival challenge can start a frozen world and work out their own way through the resource shortage.
Exploration
The endless frozen terrain, igloos and ore veins reward players who travel and search for landmarks.
Who it’s for: Players who want a harder, colder survival experience on Fabric, and server owners who run a frozen world for their players. Because the mod is in alpha, bugs should be expected.

What the author says
This mod doesn't add that much to Minecraft: No new blocks, entities, liquids... But, it makes the game WAY harder than normal.
