Illyrian Winter
A World Frozen Over, Destroyed, and Corrupted needs to be Rebuilt
Quick answer
Which Illyrian Winter release should I use?
Illyrian Winter-1.1.1.zip is a complete pack release for 1.21.1 with NeoForge. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. For this loader, use Java 21. Could not safely read this pack file.
Pack setup
How should I set up Illyrian Winter for players and a server?
Use Illyrian Winter-1.1.1.zip as the pack version. Install the pack as its own launcher instance. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file, so check the release notes before setting up a dedicated server. Do not upload the ordinary client folder blindly.
A pack is a matched client and server setup, not one mod with an install-side label. Keep its release, loader, manifest and overrides together.
What are the server requirements for Illyrian Winter?
Illyrian Winter-1.1.1.zip. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.
The selected pack release is Illyrian Winter-1.1.1.zip. That file is for Minecraft 1.21.1 with NeoForge. This NeoForge setup needs Java 21. We could not safely count the mods in this release. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file. Check their notes before using one, and do not upload an ordinary client folder or rebuild the pack mod by mod. A file count cannot tell us the right RAM, CPU or storage; size the server for the players and world you actually run.
About this project
What kind of pack is Illyrian Winter?
A Demi-God descended from the heavens to lord over the mortals of Illyria,
Beloved by all and with boundless power they benevolently reigned,
Boundless power... for a mortal,
That was not enough, that was not what they sought,
But that power was not meant for them,
And now Illyria is no more.
Survive in a frigid world encompassed by ice, and incessant snow fall. The old world is gone, its inhabitants devolved into nightmares, its civilization forgotten to time, its ruler left in solitude. Few survivors yet still wander this icey corspe, You must weather the elements and gather them to rebuild what was lost.

Cold Sweat Tips:
- Don't worry it's not that hard I promise!
- Cold Sweat has in-game difficultly options that you can freely change at any time to make it easier, or harder (How to get to them is explained in the Difficulty Settings quest chapter in-game, along with other optional help for the early game).
- You have a 12 minute grace period when your spawn into the world (and everytime you die), use that to your advantage (and maybe turn on KeepInventory to abuse it 🤷♀️).
- Underground caves are typically around room temperature, so head down there right away! (or even live down there if you want, there are underground colony options!)
- Craft a thermometer ASAP! ( Temps below 50 = Cold | Temps above 100 = Hot )
- Always carry a flint and steel with you for emergency warmth.
- Two campfires are generally needed to offset the cold, so I recommend setting up multiple campfire sites around your base to provide "get warm" spots while outside.
- Fully insulated armor (or a goat fur armor set) will keep you warm for about an entire Minecraft day.
- Waterskins last for about 2 mins while passive heating you.
- Holding a torch or lantern in your hand (or off-hand) will warm you up a little bit.
- Villages are warmer than their surroundings.
- The Nether is still hot, so be prepared!
Other Tips:
- Snow layers accumulate on already existing snow constantly (i.e. during clear weather), but new snow layers are only created while actively snowing / thunderstorming.
- Snow accumulation stops when it reaches 1 block high.
- Weather is also not skipped / cleared after sleeping.
- Torches melt snow in a 2 block raidus, while lanterns and campfires melt snow in a 3 block radius (melt and prevent snow accumulation).
- Husks spawn during the day in cities.
- The Solas shaders are about twice as demanding as the Complementary shaders
RAM:
- Minimum: 3 - 4 GB
- Recommended: 5 - 6 GB
- Maximum: 7 - 8 GB
