Description from the author on Modrinth

❄️ SNOWSTORM

The Legendary Winter Mace

CORE

Snowstorm adds a legendary custom mace with 5 unique abilities, kill-based progression, and custom winter-themed effects. Become the wielder of Snowstorm, unlock its powers, and unleash the winter storm.

The Weapon

⚔️ Snowstorm — The Legendary Mace

  • Custom 3D mace model.
  • 5 unique abilities with individual cooldowns.
  • Special attack effects and animations.
  • Kill-based progression and unlockable upgrades.
  • Custom icy particles, sounds, and visual effects.

Abilities

Snowstorm features 5 unique abilities, each with its own effects and cooldowns.

Abilities are unlocked through progression, giving players new powers as they master the weapon.

Progression

Snowstorm features a unique-kill progression system.

  • Earn unique player kills to advance.
  • Unlock additional abilities and upgrades.
  • Progress through 4 kill-based unlock milestones.
  • Build your mastery of the weapon.

Winter's Return

When Snowstorm's wielder dies while carrying the mace, a special return sequence begins.

  1. A server-wide announcement alerts everyone.
  2. The mace ascends with custom winter effects.
  3. It appears floating at exact Overworld coordinates (0, 100, 0).
  4. Players can right-click the floating mace to call it down.
  5. It rises into the air before crashing down in a cinematic icy slam.
  6. A large particle explosion and temporary beacon-style beam mark its arrival.

Protection

Snowstorm has special item protection to prevent it from being destroyed by fire, lava, and explosions.

Commands

  • /snowstorm — Access Snowstorm.
  • /snowstorm unlockall — Unlock all abilities.
  • /snowstorm resetcooldowns — Reset Snowstorm's ability cooldowns.

Resource Pack

Snowstorm includes a dedicated 3D mace resource pack.

The custom model uses its own namespace, so it does not replace the appearance of vanilla Minecraft maces.

Compatibility

  • Minecraft: Java Edition 1.21.11
  • Server software: Paper, Purpur, Leaf
  • Java: 21+
  • Dependencies: None

Made for servers looking to add a unique legendary weapon and a little more chaos to PvP.
