The frostbloom is a magic flower found in tundra keep chests or dug up by sniffers there. It forms snow layers around it, freezes water -> ice -> packed ice -> blue ice, fills cauldrons with powdered snow, turns lava into magma, and puts out fire.

It also damages blazes, magma cubes, and striders and heals snow golems. When bone-mealed, it drops frostbloom petals and will speed up the freezing process of blocks around it.

History

1.6.0Beta 4*

Tripled the frostbloom ice rates

  • This is a temporary balancing hotfix
  • There will be a better fix in the future to improve ice farms
1.4.0-

Frostbloom Petal Mob Drops

Frostbloom petals no longer drop from iceologers and strays

  • This makes the petal exclusive as a reward to actually collecting a frostbloom
1.2.0*

While this rework is minor, these changes really add up to make the frostbloom a better reward for the tundra keep overall

Placement fixes

  • No longer require a snow layer to place
    • “Why can’t I place a frostbloom?” was one of the most commonly asked questions in the discord!
  • Placement is now more similar to vanilla flowers

Now deal damage in a 5x5x5 cube rather than a spherical volume

Now replace fire with air

Now replace lava with magma

  • This applies to flowing lava too, allowing you to create new magma farms

Mobs hurt by frostblooms now take more damage

Blazes killed by frostblooms will drop blaze rods (despite not being killed by a player)

Will not show particles if there is a block on top (but will still spawn snow layers and affect the surrounding area)

0.5.1Release+

Frostblooms can now be placed on more blocks

Beta 1*

The frostbloom now freezes blocks one block lower

0.5.0Beta 3*

Tons and tons of texture changes. Dyed bundles, frostblooms, frostbloom petals, gobblerifts, sweet berry muffins, swordfish, jewelry tables, enchanters, iceologers, cakes, bat wings, lockets of learning, peculiar berries, rings, smoldering seekers, teacups, and rotten porkchops. Basically anything that looked kinda iffy last version. They’ve all been fixed up. Frostblooms are my particular favorite this version, they’ve definitely got quite the glow-up. Especially the petals, too!

Beta 1+

Frostblooms now fill cauldrons with powdered snow

0.4.0+

A magic flower that produces snow around its position and freezes water to ice, ice to packed ice, and packed ice to blue ice. It can be found in the Tundra Keep and rarely dropped by iceologers (except iceologers spawning in raids).
