Very Bad Snowman

by GalievDev

Very Bad Snowman adds a hostile snowman mob that spawns in cold biomes, along with armor and tools made from a crafted crystal snow ingot.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.16.5 – 1.18.1

What it does

The snowman hates every player and attacks on sight, and its attacks inflict blindness. Cold biomes produce it, and the mod also makes ordinary mobs faster and stronger in the same areas, so exploration in snowy terrain becomes harder. A Winter-holiday theme runs through the mob, which dislikes holidays and reacts to festive decorations.

The mod is a Forge addon for Minecraft 1.16.5 and 1.18.1, with a single release, 1.0.0, for 1.18.1 on the beta channel. Both client and server need it, so the server and every player install it. The code is not public as a licensed project; it is All rights reserved and not open source, though public links to the source exist.

Key features

  1. Hostile snowman mob

    A snowman that attacks every player it meets and inflicts blindness on hit, spawning in cold biomes.

  2. Tougher ordinary mobs

    Regular monsters in the mod's biomes move faster and hit harder, raising the difficulty of snowy areas.

  3. Crystal snow equipment

    Armor and tools are crafted from a crystal snow ingot, which is itself made from snow crystal.

  4. Snowman drops

    Defeating the snowman yields items used in the armor and tool recipes.
