Blizzard

This mob was made originally by the quiet kid on the Minecraft Fan Ideas Wiki. For the old page press this.
Blizzards spawn in the Aether dimension. They are made of an Ice block that came to life through Illager experiments, and 10 floating icicles around it. It dislikes Blazes. This page is currently being worked on.
== Spawning ==
Blizzards spawn naturally in Aether Fortresses at a light level of 10 or less.
=== Spawners ===
Blizzards spawn from spawners in Aether Fortresses. They are located on a three-block staircase with a small platform.
== Drops ==
• 0-1 blizzard icicles (0-4 with Looting III)
== Behavior ==
Blizzards attack Blazes when in a 46 block distance. They retreat once they are at 5 health by the blazes. Blizzards fly, although when not attacking they stay on the ground or sink down slowly through the air. Blazes attempt to swim upward in water or lava. Despite taking damage from lava, blizzards make no attempt to protect themselves if pushed or dropped into water. Their pathfinding does not avoid snow and water but does avoid lava. They immediately take damage from magma blocks. Blizzards are also hurt by fire charges, taking 4 damage per hit. It takes 4 fire charges to kill a blizzard. They are also damaged by blaze rods apparently, taking 2 damage per hit. Like most Nether mobs, they are immune to damage from ice and water.
== Attacking ==
Blizzards target players within 46 blocks. If a blizzard is damaged by a player or other mob, it alerts other blizzards within 46 blocks to target the attacker. A blizzard flies when it acquires a target, slowly approaching while attempting to remain 0.5–3.5 blocks above the target.
A blizzard's normal attack is a trio of ice balls (not to be confused with snow balls) , shot from up to 46 blocks. A blizzard shoots only when it has line of sight to its target. If line of sight is broken in the middle of its volley, the blizzard suspends the remainder of its volley until line of sight returns. When using this attack, the blizzard is surrounded by cyan particles for 3 seconds, shoots three ice balls over the course of 0.9 seconds, then extinguishes its flames and waits for 5 seconds before attacking again. A blizzard shoots its fireballs with roughly the same lack of accuracy as a dispenser; however, the blizzard's shots maintain the same speed all the way to the target, unlike the dispenser's, which start slow and accelerate. A blizzard that touches its target performs a melee attack that does 5 damage on normal difficulty, once per second. This attack doesn't count as a freeze attack.
== Blizzard Ice Balls ==
Blizzards shoot ice balls at players. If an ice ball hits a water block, ice is placed at that location. If it hits an entity that is not immune to ice and does not have the Temperature Resistance effect, the entity takes 5 of projectile damage regardless of difficulty level. The target is frozen in place for 5 seconds, which does an additional 3 ice damage over time. A blizzard's ice ball cannot be deflected by melee attacks or arrows, unlike ghast fireballs and ice balls from The Frozen. However, it can be blocked by shields, which prevents the player from being damaged and frozen. A Blizzard's ice balls can light Aether portals.
