Minecraft Cold Sweat mod: All you need to know

Minecraft has some great gameplay facets, including the hunger mechanic that you need to take care of, along with protection against hostile mobs. But in the varied world with so many different biomes, one thing is missing: temperature mechanics. Biomes such as the Nether, which is extremely hot, or snowy mountains that are extremely cold, do not affect you physically.

This is where the Cold Sweat mod by Momo Softworks comes in. This special mod adds a new temperature mechanic to the game. Apart from ensuring you have enough to eat, you must also maintain your temperature within the right range, like in real life. Here’s everything about the mod and how to install it.

The Cold Sweat mod makes the game more challenging and is perfect for players who want an extra bit of realism. Firstly, it makes you susceptible to the temperature outside and adds two elements: your body temperature and the temperature of the biome. Thus, moving around different biomes in Minecraft will require some planning.

The mod also lets you cleverly utilize the resources around you. For example, if you are getting cold and want to raise your body temperature, start a fire or look for lava lakes and stand near them. But that’s not all.

The mod also adds new items to the game, such as a boiler that you can place inside your house when the temperature lowers. This requires you to obtain materials to make additional items, adding to the challenge and fun.

Installing the mod is simple and quick. All you need to do is head over to the mod’s official download page. You can find it on CurseForge. Do note that you need to have the Forge mod loader installed before running the Cold Sweat mod.

After you have downloaded the .jar file, follow these steps:

• From your Windows home screen, click on ‘Run.’
• Type “%APPDATA%” and hit enter. This will open a folder.
• Search for the ‘.minecraft’ folder and click on it.
• Open the mods folder inside and paste the mod files here.
• Launch the game via Minecraft Launcher but make sure you select the Forge version.

That covers everything about installing the mod and running it on your game. With the Tricky Trials update and the addition of the breeze and the bogged, it seems that no biome is safe. Adding the Cold Sweat mod will make things even more difficult.
