So I've been looking in a vanilla Taiga biome for the last few Minecraft days, trying to find a Blizz, to no avail. I'm playing on Normal mode, and I even switched it to hard to make sure it wasn't a difficulty-specific mob and I wasn't being dumb, but still no spawns. I have a patch of snow blocks laid out of about 8x13 (with sunlight access) and there are no other mobs spawning (except in caves, probably) but I'm not getting anything spawning. I'm playing on the DW20 pack, so I don't know if Blizz spawns are off by default, but I don't think they are. Any reason in specific I can't get these guys to spawn?

For me, they only seem to spawn at night or in the dark, just like vanilla mobs. I don't get this whole "sunlight" thing.

Be sure it is snow blocks and not snow cover
Besides that, no idea.

Yeah, They're snow blocks. At one point they were covered by snow layers from weather, but I cleared that away. I'm going to try again and see if I get any to spawn this time (at night).

It just means it has to have no opaque blocks above the snow block. It has to be able to see the sky.

Alright, so I've spent the last hour trying to find Blizzes during the Night and doing random things during the day. Still haven't gotten a Blizz to spawn, even though there's only one valid area they can spawn. I don't see any other mobs anywhere around, either, so I don't think too many are spawning so Blizzes can't spawn anymore or anything like that. This is starting to really annoy me.

what version of dw20 164?[DOUBLEPOST=1402091503][/DOUBLEPOST]up to around the .22-24 version they just didn't spawn. I've seen them in caves for whatever reason... pretty rare.

Version 1.3.14
Damn, I heard that Blizzes were temporarily taken out of the game because of problems in their code, but I didn't know if it was true. That sucks. I also can't cheat in an egg or anything because of the NEI cheat lock being on. I found it in my personal MineCraft files and made sure I knew how to get to it, but I don't know how to get into the config file for the Mod Packs, so I can't change the cheat lock unless someone can tell me how.

2 ways... creative mode. If not, press your inventory key, press options in the lower left of screen. In the upper right click from global to world, then go to inventory, there is a box left of the inventory setting, click that box to set a w by it, then set to cheat. Click out and it should work like it used to. Swear, that change was horribly done... no way to know about unless someone came to you and told you about it and how to do it...

Dude, you're awesome! Thanks for the help, I was able to spawn in a Blizz egg. Good to know that I actually have a failsafe now, instead of quitting my world and crying in a corner.
