WinterBurn
by MeowMe0w
WinterBurn adds a set of snow-themed blocks, mobs, structures and weapons to Minecraft Java Edition 1.20.1 through Forge.
What it does
The mod fills snowy plains with new content. The Frostbit mob spawns there, and the Frost Fortress structure generates in the same biome, so exploring cold regions reveals more than vanilla terrain. Its blocks are grouped into a Frost Brick set for building in an ice or snow theme.
WinterBurn includes a Frost Sword that is stronger than common iron-tier weapons, letting players fight the new mobs. It was built with MC Creator, and the author accepts bug reports through the issue tracker linked from the project page.
The mod is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 only. Both the server and every player need it, since the content is spawned and used on both sides, and it is released under the MIT License without being open source.

How it compares
Snow update is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that is also client and server, but it is licensed under All rights reserved, so the license differs from WinterBurn's MIT License. Ice Sword Mod is client-side only for 1.20.1, so it needs no server installation, while WinterBurn requires both sides. Hidrismos is server-side only and released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which places no restrictions on use.
