The goal

Winter Essentials aims to be a fun vanilla+ mod with some new winter-themed additions. It aims to increase the difficulty by making the travel in snowy biomes slightly harder by adding a new snow type, Powdered Snowlayer, which, just like normal powdered snow, slows you down and give the "freezing" debuff.

Blocks

This mods adds 2 new blocks (for now):

Items

This mods adds 4 new items (for now):

Biome changes

There are also some tweaks to the existing biomes/weather. All biomes, even deserts, have a change for snow. But this snow will melt over time if it stops snowing. Instead of just having normal snow, there is a 50% change for Powdered Snowlayers to spawn, both while snowing and on worldgen. Snow can "grow" while snowing, up to a maximum of 3 layers. These changes van be controlled in with Config options.

Future additions

Due to time constraints for MMD and the massive biome changes of 1.18.1, certain ideas have not been implemented.

  • Powdered snow Features, some nice surprise traps
  • New Snow wasteland biome with frozen trees
  • Permafrost, a block that spawn under snow biomes. When breaking you have a chance to get "prehistoric" items like bones, leather, rotten flesh, metal nuggets and gems
  • Cold/Freezing debuff when walking through cold biomes/standing on snow.
  • Clothes to counter the debuff
  • Oil lamp to counter the debuff and provide light
  • Sleeping bag
  • Throwing spear
  • Sledge + Wolf Sledge
  • Snow Storm + Blindness effect + Snow glasses to counter.
