This may be a genuine issue. I have no clue as to the rules of Blizz spawning and my brief search through the cofh configs yielded no blizz spawning parameters. I presume there is a method of spawning legitimately since Lite modpacks usually have TE but no biome mods. But stranger things have happened.

I've never seen a Blizz outside of that one glacier biome before; I have a feeling that spawning is based on how cold the biome is, as well as the ground material there. Or the possibility that something's broken.

Well there's already something in the thread about a way to get them to spawn, which I'm pretty sure has been tested as well
At least it's better than how it was in the betas, living in a snowy biome was annoying.
I don't think this is going to be the final spawning behavior for them, though, or so I've also read somewhere.

Except for the fact that those methods all rely on other mods then TE to work. There should be a method that only requires vanilla + TE.

Speaking of which, I've heard zip about TE 3.1 since KL retired. Anyone know anything about it, is it still eventually on it's way? B/c it sounded really cool.

Not really. With vanilla+TE3 alone you should be able to make some snow blocks, leave them in the dark, then stand 24 blocks away from them in a cold biome.

Blizz won't spawn on easy and they're pretty hard to find in BoP worlds. I eventually found mine in the Deep Dark after endless searching and captured it in an MFR Safari net.

Meh. In his modpack there's the ability to mass murder humanoids by melting them into emeralds, several heartless methods of processing animals,
None of those are the central core mechanic of a mod. They are a tiny, peripheral feature that are easily ignored. Blood Magic is very different, you can't* do anything with the mod without indulging in self-harm.

*there may be some minor features that don't involve self-harm, I don't know, I don't use the mod either.

Cartoon Network has more questionable content than Blood Magic. If the mod was called "Life Force: Alchemical Wizardry" no one would be squeamish.

Well...there's still the fact you're holding a knife called the Sacrifical Knife and whenever you right click it, you see blood particles around you. Then there's the Dagger of Sacrifice. While Cartoon Network may hold questionable content, I wouldn't try and encourage such questionable content just because it's seen elsewhere.

I'm gonna bump this thread since I've found a fix. You need to go to the glacier biome in twilight forest. And make a platform of solid snow blocks. That will spawn the blizz. And it seemed they like it when it snow aswell. This is if you can't make a mystcraft world. Like me, who is on a server.

I haven't seen a Blizz since about a week after they were introduced. To be honest, i thought the got removed or something.

Ye. I had the same Issue. But it seemed he changed the spawn biome of the Blizz. Since it can't spawn in the Taiga biomes anymore. It needs like freezing biomes, not just cold and snowy.

And I checked the Biomes o Plenty config file. And most of the biomes there are disabled by default.
So if you play on just singleplayer you could change so you could get the coldest biomes like frost forest, arctic and glazier. (probably a ton more. Just check the wiki page for the list)


But if you're on a server with world borders and preloaded biomes like me. Then the twilight forest is the answer! :)
(If you don't have twilight forest or mystcraft on your server. You're out of luck)

But hope this clears out all the questions people will have about blizz if they search for it on google. ;)
