Cold Times - Frozen Apogee

Cold Times v4.0 RELEASE
“COLD TIMES: RENEWED”

The modpack has been completely rebuilt from scratch.
This update marks a NEW BEGINNING for Cold Times.

⚠️ Important Stuffs: ⚠️
Because this update is massive and rebuilds many systems from scratch, it’s strongly recommended to reinstall the modpack.
Fresh files = fewer issues, like bugs, crashes, or leftover old settings, please do a fresh reinstall of the modpack instead of updating...

World & Atmosphere Overhaul

AETHER (WORK IN PROGRESS)

The Aether currently has weird survival viability (lol)
I'm working on making it uniquely survivable, but ran into multiple technical issues. *Sigh*
A full, balanced Aether experience will arrive in a future update. Until I come up with solutions...
