[Axanthic Game Studios] Eternal Frost 2: Core of Ice

How to enter the dimension

Hypothermia
The mod offer a new new mechanic: Hypothermia. How does it work? It follows the same principle as hunger. As you explore the dimension, you'll get colder and colder until your start taking damage. To replenish it, you need to stand close to a heat source (like fire, torch, heatstone....).

What block, what tool?

If you mine blocks without the proper tool, it won't successfully drop. In order: Snowbark Tools > Frozen Cobblestone Tools > Arctite Tools > Crystal Tools > Coldsteel Tools. Here is the list of tools and mineable blocks:

Every Pickaxe (can mine)
Frozen cobble
Frozen stone
Deepfrozen ice
Ice oven/Deepfreezer

At least Frozen cobble tools (can mine)

Arctite ore
Frozen brick things
Frozen button
Spawners and all spawners yet to come in the Eternal frost

At least Arctite tools (can mine)
Bluestone ore
Crystal ore
Block of Crystal
Bluestone lamp

At least Crystal tools
Can mine everything

Biomes
In order to find the biomes on the screenshots, you just have to climb up to layer 180+. There is a surface above the nether-like world.

Dungeons
In order to be able to challenge a dungeon, you'll have to find a "dungeon block" and mine it with anything.

Other mechanics
You can find different mobs depending on your height: the more you dig down, the more you'll encounter aggressive mobs. Passive mobs will be found on the surface.

With the help of Team Melanistic (2015).

The Eternal Frost Mod was a classic Minecraft dimension mod released around 10 years ago. It later received an updated and rewritten version called Eternal Frost 2, which was most prolific on Minecraft version 1.7.10. Since then, it has mostly been forgotten, but not by the large player base it had accumulated back in the day. Axanthic Game Studios, the modding team behind Lands of Icaria, is a direct continuation of Team Melanistic and retains all the rights to the classic mods from back in the day (BicBiomeCraft, Landscapecraft, CandyWinterGenesis, Eternal Frost, Eternal Frost 2, Minecraft Evolution, and more).

Now and then, modders and legacy modding teams ask permission to update Eternal Frost to recent Minecraft versions. With a few exceptions years ago (that didn't go anywhere), such requests have always been denied, and thus, only one person (apart from the team) currently has permission to update/port Eternal Frost.

While the possibility of getting permission will always be there, there are several reasons why we're not handing out permission lightly. Old Eternal Frost 2 is not up to current Minecraft modding standards. As such, many aspects of the mod would need to be overhauled, including but not limited to: gameplay, assets, scope of the mod, mobs and their AI, selection of features, etc.

While a classic in its old form, Eternal Frost is not one of those mods that should ever be brought to 1.12.2 and newer versions as a "one and done" kind of deal. It deserves better. If Eternal Frost were ever to be updated, it would need to be done properly. If you want to port Eternal Frost to newer versions:

• It should not just be put on 1.12.2, but ideally also on the latest release of Minecraft.
• The essence of the mod on 1.12.2 would have to remain the same and be given a polish but mostly remain untouched (this mainly means the theme and world generator).
• The first public release would require the team's approval -- to verify it hasn't been Rian Johnsoned.
• The developers of the new version would have to:
  • Include copyright and give credit to the original authors
  • Give the right to veto creative decisions
  • Give the right to take down the project if it is deemed dead (no major updates in over a year).

Today, our vision for any potential future of Eternal Frost would be as follows:

If a 1.12.2 version were to be made, it'd be Eternal Frost 2.5. It would mostly provide version parity with 1.7.10, while getting a partial asset overhaul and bringing some other features up to our 1.12.2 modding standards (as seen on Lands of Icaria).

If a 1.20+ version were to be made, it'd be Eternal Frost 4. It would extent far beyond version parity with 1.7.10, getting almost a complete asset overhaul, getting rid of some of the features that don't fit into modern MC modding doctrine anymore, and introducing a whole host of new features such as potentially new and improved mobs that fit the environment, a new biome or two, new structures / improved dungeons, a much improved NPC presence, different workstations, and more.

Why Eternal Frost 4 you may ask? As Team Entership, the direct successor to Team Melanistic (and predecessor of Axanthic Game Studios), we already previously attempted to create a new version of Eternal Frost called Eternal Frost 3, which would've revolutionised the concept. However, the scope for that was way too big and too far removed from the essence of Eternal Frost 2, so development ceased, and Eternal Frost 3 was abandoned. Many lessons were learned from that, which helped keep the development of Lands of Icaria steady (and it still is, with our 1.20 port being well underway).

If you're a modder or modding team seeking permission, please contact PsychedeliCon through the Lands of Icaria Discord, or myself directly.
