Packed Ice

4 armor sets · 20 unique tools · every piece grants a unique frozen-themed effect. No new blocks added.

Brave the frozen peaks of the Overworld with 4 fully-balanced armor sets and their complete toolkits, all crafted from the ice, packed ice, snow and snowballs you gather in the cold. This mod expands gear customization with 4 new armor sets and 20 unique tools, each granting useful gameplay effects, status boosts or unique passive abilities — all in the pure Vanilla+ style, using only materials that already exist in your world.

⚙️ Vanilla+ promise

The mod adds tools, weapons and armor only. No new blocks are generated or added to the game.

⭐ Key Features

  • ❄️ 4 armor sets — from light snow to dense packed ice, each with a unique defensive profile and a signature cold ability
  • 🧰 20 tools — a full matching toolkit (Sword, Pickaxe, Axe, Shovel, Hoe) for every set, each with thematic on-hit and on-mine bonuses
  • 🧱 0 new blocks — craft everything from the ice, snow and snowballs you dig up
  • ⚖️ Carefully balanced — heavy ice sets grant toughness but slow you down; light snow sets are quick but fragile
  • 💡 Tier progression — tools scale from STONE to IRON harvest levels as you move to denser ice
  • 🧊 Freezing combat — ice swords slow enemies, packed ice fully freezes them, and snow blinds them in a flurry

🛡️ Complete Armor Catalog

Defense is listed as Helmet / Chestplate / Leggings / Boots. Ability is active while the armor is worn.

Set Defense (H/C/L/B) Durability Enchant Tough / KB Crafted From Repairs With Active Ability
❄️ Ice 2 / 5 / 4 / 2 15 8 Tough 1.0 Ice Ice Speed I (slippery)
🧊 Packed Ice 2 / 6 / 5 / 2 22 8 Tough 1.5 Packed Ice Packed Ice Resistance II + Slowness (heavy ice)
⛄ Snow 1 / 3 / 2 / 1 9 10 – Snow Block Snowball Jump Boost I (soft snow)
⚪ Snowball 1 / 2 / 2 / 1 6 12 – Snowball Snowball Luck I (light)

🧰 Complete Tool Catalog

Every armor set has a full matching toolkit: Sword, Pickaxe, Axe, Shovel & Hoe. Weapons debuff on hit, while mining tools grant you a useful boost as you break blocks — all matching the set's frozen theme.

Set Sword (on hit) Mining tools (on break)
❄️ Ice Slowness I (chills the target) Haste I
🧊 Packed Ice Slowness II (fully freezes) Strength I
⛄ Snow Blindness I (snowstorm) Speed I
⚪ Snowball Nausea I (dazed by impact) Haste II

Tool tiers: sets made of light snow (Snow, Snowball) dig at STONE level; dense ice sets (Ice, Packed Ice) dig at IRON level with higher durability and toughness.
