key's Wild Temperatures
by keyschain
key's Wild Temperatures adds a temperature system to survival play, with cold biomes, heat, frost-based protection and an optional temperature HUD overlay.
What it does
Temperature in key's Wild Temperatures is tied to the biome a player stands in and to the time of day, so cold nights in certain biomes, and the desert after dark, can apply a cold effect. Vanilla freezing with powdered snow is extended into the wider cold mechanic, and leather armor offers protection against the cold, giving players a reason to choose gear by the climate they travel through.
The mod is meant to make the game more challenging without becoming tiresome. It adds new items and blocks, a Frost Protection enchantment as a counterpart to Fire Protection, a chainmail armor recipe, and temperature HUD overlays that show the current conditions. Frost Protection can be applied to armor pieces, and wearing a piece of armor with the enchantment counts toward the protection that the cold effect is checked against. The mod requires Fabric API and oωo (owo-lib) to run on either Fabric or Quilt, and it is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Builds cover 1.20.1 and 1.20.4, the only two release versions with files.
Key features
Temperature from biome and time
Each biome has a temperature value taken from vanilla, and cold nights and desert conditions add their own effects.
Frost Protection enchantment
A counterpart to Fire Protection that guards the player against the cold instead of heat, applied to armor pieces.
Temperature HUD overlays
Overlays on the screen show the temperature the player is currently exposed to, so the effect can be read at a glance.
Chainmail armor recipe
A recipe for chainmail armor, adding a use for the material that fits the mod's temperature theme.
