Snowy Saturdays
Snowy Saturdays is a compact Minecraft mod developed by Shadowdragon01 using MCreator. Initially created in 15 minutes as part of a challenge, the mod was then refined over an hour of work. The author notes that his friend UserOfBricks also participated in this challenge and may publish his own project.
Core Concept
The mod enhances the snowy theme through four new enchantments, three items, and one unique game mechanic.
New Mechanic: Chilled Status
Added a unique game mechanic called "Chilled". When a character becomes chilled, their movement speed is significantly reduced. Fortunately, there's an enchantment that completely neutralizes this effect.
Enchantment System
The mod uses a special notation system for describing enchantment properties:
- [Items] - indicates which items the enchantment can be applied to
- [E/C/T] - Enchant, Curse, or Treasure
- [Level with Roman numerals] - enchantment level
Specific Enchantments:
Warming
[Chestplate] [E] [I]
Provides complete protection from the chilled status effects.
Snowy Strike
[Weapons] [E] [I]
Applies Slowness III to enemies for 5 seconds upon hit.
Snow Skater
[Boots] [E] [I]
Increases movement speed when walking on snow-related blocks. May be expanded to include ice in future updates.
Full Snow
[Shovel] [E] [I]
Turns snow into snow blocks when using a shovel, creating an infinite cycle: 3 snow blocks yield 6 snow units, and the process repeats.
New Items
Ice Stick
Used exclusively for crafting recipes.
Snow Charm
Freezes all enemies within a 6-block radius.
Snow Scythe
An end-game weapon requiring at least 4 Wither kills to craft. The Snow Scythe automatically comes with built-in Snowy Strike enchantment, applying Slowness III for 5 seconds with every hit. The scythe can also charge up to perform a special attack that damages and launches all mobs within a 6-block radius.
Crafting Recipes
Due to the small number of recipes, they are presented here rather than just suggesting to use JEI.
Ice Stick
Snow Charm
It's worth noting that based on its function, this item might be better called an "Ice Charm".
Snow Scythe
Conclusion
Snowy Saturdays successfully enhances gameplay with snowy theme through interesting mechanics, enchantments, and unique items, making winter adventures in Minecraft even more exciting.
