I'm gonna keep an eye on this mod for sure, it looks like something I'd bother updating past 152 for. I'm not sure if you've been asked about this or not, but how are you going to handle cave generation? If you're basing it off of or using vanilla code, do you see yourself doing anything about the absurd swiss-cheese effect that it tends to create? Vanilla caves are far too packed and criss-cross and branch too much, I think.

Looking forward to what's to come
I didn't have that planned, but i'm sure it would be quite nice to have better caves in general.
Ill have to agree with you on the fact that caves as they are now, are quite bad...
If this mod comes out before the Holidays, it would be cool (heh, a pun) if you could add an easter egg in there or even an entire Holiday themed mob/ore/block. I have never created a mod before, so I have no idea how long it will take, but if you could add that, it would be really interesting and festive.

I dont think it would be complete before the holidays... But I would most likely be able to get a beta out!
Patiently awaiting. Love the ideas. And hope to have it soon. Will there be like quests and missions in it? Because I believe that would be pretty cool. The mod kinda reminds me of the movie Absolute zero.

Planning on some quests! But they would probably be added later, since they aren't completely required to play.
I havent seen that movie, ill have to check it out.
OMFG... this is looking so AWESOME so far. Here's a (detailed) list of what i think that should be added:
What are you thinking about doing to the Nether? I think it should freeze like 3 times faster than the overworld, like a warning or something. It would become a Frozen Hell (literally).
I think there should be campfires, just because nobody wants their houses to catch fire now that it would be really needed.
There should be a REALLY good reason for us to go to the surface again and risk our life.
A story system... Why did this storm (or whatever) started? Is there a way to stop it? (there should be a Winter Boss at the end of the world at level 0).
The overworld should have like loads of snow layers and growing. REALLY wierd mobs at the surface, like ice mutants.
Once again GREAT job so far, can't wait to play it.
I like these ideas, especially the "Reason to go to the surface" and story, but the boss seems difficult to code along with the Nether, but I'm no mod developer. Good ideas though.

I'm not too sure about the nether idea... But I do need to make SOME changes to the nether!
Hopefully as it gets colder you will need more than just a campfire, but yes, campfires will be a temporary source of heat.
Im thinking of making some quests of sorts to go to the surface, as well as a few things that will grow as the frost increases.
A boss would be cool! That would come later in the development though.
The Nether becomes the same temperature as the Overworld? xD
Maybe instead of going lower in the Nether, you need to go higher because the temperature has increased(low creativity, me brain is dead).
i like the idea of frozen hell, like in the Dante's 9 levels.
There was a mod ln the past with such idea which was named icemod, it offered a ice dimension underground with new mobs etc...

Minecraft without Thaumcraft is like a pizza without cheese, tasteless !!!
Depending on how you decide to implement the temperature, you could have placed blocks or certain blocks function differently, or actually change into a different block altogether.
For example, using a ranged gauge, different elevations would have different base temperatures to them, that change the longer into the world or the farther towards the core. If a small chest was placed in your house up at surface level on day two, you might come back to a block replacing it, such as a frozen chest that you'd have to thaw to open and reveal your contents, or risk losing everything by breaking it open. Sadly, I would not know how to make an item that changed block ID's but kept internal contents, so making a chest turn into a frozen chest would require some Minecraft mod magic.
But you see where I'm getting with this.
Torches pop off walls if the temperature gets too cold for them to stay lit, a checking system to test if a room is 'secured' from the outside elements (if the door is left open, or the walls are too thin/poor insulating material) potentially letting in a freezing draft, items that serve no purpose until they freeze, forcing you to return, and hopefully, hopefully, a refrigeration system/chest to keep food from spoiling, or generally going bad and becoming unuseable.
Yes, this would change Minecraft forever. But it would certainly give everyone a use for the new Packed Ice, and a positive use for the oncoming winter apocalypse.

yes another mod that makes minecraft even harder! i love these mods! and its winter! THANK YOU!!!!!
now to wait for the realese of the mod...
looks good so far. i like the idea of freezing your butt off in minecraft and underground villages. (two things i am always looking for)
so you have now created the best looking mod ever!
a few sugestions...
freeze the top 2-3 layers of the ocean and make it so you freeze faster in water.
start with a fire charge or two in your inventory (so you can survive a little while on the surface)
i like the idea of there being a boss or something in the over world. (frosty the snow man meets the wither? take 3 snow blocks, one diamond block, one wither head, and two pumpkins, put them in a wither shape with the diamond block in the middle and the wither head on top of that, then you can fight... something that drops something that you can use to make a beacon that works underground... just an idea...)
can't wait for the release of this mod! and good luck!

Glad you like it!
I dont think that starting with items is a very good idea, but the world starts like normal, so you have time to get flint and steel before it starts getting cold.
About a boss that you spawn yourself.. I dont think thats a very good idea, I would rather generate a lair or something you have to go and find. Maybe the villagers can give you hints as to where it is!
Thanks for the link :). I'm still going to follow yours though. I love both ideas and I will definitely try out both. Good job
what would happen if you go to the surface when the plants are dead will you freeze?
Looking forward to what's to come
Solar Apocalypse is what inspired me to make this!
Thanks!
If you didn't have the right gear!
I didn't have that planned, but i'm sure it would be quite nice to have better caves in general.

We will all try to be patient until then lol

The Eternal Frost dimension mod?
I see what you mean, but I think I know a better way to do it.
Not sure if I will or not, but its something to think about!
I think instead of a fridge we would need something to keep things from freezing, haha.

I have a question, Will (Surface) logs freeze? If so, I have some texures.
