Cold Sweat: Altitude is a Cold Sweat addon that adds fully configurable altitude-based temperature zones using a simple band system.<\/p>\n

Requires Cold Sweat (v2.4+).<\/p>\n

Define custom temperature behaviour at any height – from deep underground to the upper sky – entirely through config. Each band can control temperature modifiers, dimension filtering, priority, protection requirements, shelter behaviour, and player warnings. <\/p>\n

Features:<\/p>\n

* Configurable altitude bands with min\/max Y ranges
\n* Additive or multiplicative temperature modifiers
\n* Dimension whitelist\/blacklist support
\n* Priority-based band resolution (no stacking conflicts)
\n* Item-tag-based protection scaling (For pack makers)
\n* Optional shelter-based exposure reduction
\n* Configurable heat sources from Create: Aeronautics
\n* Shelter detection for Create: Aeronautics ships (Sable contraptions)
\n* Per-band warning messages and cooldowns
\n* Clean integration with Cold Sweat (no overrides)
\n* Runtime commands for debugging and inspection<\/p>\n

Designed to be pack-agnostic, Cold Sweat: Altitude lets modpack authors create progression systems like cold mountain peaks, warm cave layers, or dangerous upper atmospheres without writing custom code.<\/p>\n

Note: This mod has been made for custom pack, however I thought others may find it useful<\/p>\n

This is an addon and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Cold Sweat mod or its authors.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

### Config<\/p>\n

Cold Sweat: Altitude uses altitude bands to control temperature based on height.
\nEach band defines a Y-level range and the temperature change within that range.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

**Config location**
\n`config\/coldsweat_altitude-server.toml`<\/p>\n

**Reload after editing (while world is running)**
\n`\/coldsweat_altitude reload`<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

### Basic Band Example<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
 <\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
[[bands]]
id = \"high_mountains\"
enabled = true
dimensions = [\"minecraft:overworld\"]
dimensionMode = \"WHITELIST\"
minY = 192
maxY = 255
temperatureModifier = -0.08
modifierMode = \"ADD\"
priority = 10
enableShelterCheck = true
shelterCheckRadius = 4
shelterReduction = 0.35<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
 <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
### Important Values<\/p>\n
**minY \/ maxY**
\nHeight range where the band applies.<\/p>\n
**temperatureModifier**
\nTemperature change applied in this band.
\nNegative values make it colder, positive values make it warmer.<\/p>\n
**modifierMode**
\nADD = adds directly (recommended)
\nMULTIPLY = scales existing temperature<\/p>\n
Example:
\n-0.45 makes the area colder by 0.45<\/p>\n
**priority**
\nIf multiple bands match, the highest priority band wins.<\/p>\n
**dimensions \/ dimensionMode**
\nWHITELIST = only listed dimensions
\nBLACKLIST = exclude listed dimensions<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
### Shelter<\/p>\n
If enabled, the mod checks if the player is inside a sheltered space.<\/p>\n
**shelterCheckRadius**
\nControls how far the shelter scan checks. Higher values detect larger rooms but cost more performance.<\/p>\n
**shelterReduction**
\nControls how much shelter reduces the altitude effect:<\/p>\n
0.0 = no reduction
\n0.5 = up to 50% reduction
\n0.75 = up to 75% reduction
\n1.0 = up to 100% reduction<\/p>\n
Example:
\nIf temperatureModifier = -0.45 and shelterReduction = 0.75, full shelter leaves only 25% of the cold effect.<\/p>\n
undefined<\/p>\n
### Protection Items<\/p>\n
Custom item tags can be used to make existing equipment count as altitude protection.<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
 <\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
protectionTag = \"coldsweat_altitude:cold_altitude_protection\"
requiredPieces = 1
protectionReductionPerPiece = 0.20
fullProtectionPieces = 4<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
 <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
**protectionTag**
\nThe item tag checked on equipped armor\/items.<\/p>\n
**requiredPieces**
\nHow many matching pieces are required before protection starts.<\/p>\n
**protectionReductionPerPiece**
\nThe reduction per matching piece.<\/p>\n
**fullProtectionPieces**
\nThe number of pieces treated as full protection.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
### Aeronautics Heat<\/p>\n
If Create: Aeronautics \/ Sable is installed, ship interiors can use Aeronautics heat sources.<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
 <\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
aeronauticsBurnerHeat = 0.14
aeronauticsBurnerRange = 7.0
aeronauticsSteamVentHeat = 0.12
aeronauticsSteamVentRange = 8.0<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
 <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Higher heat values warm the player more.
\nHigher ranges make the heat source reach farther.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
### Debugging<\/p>\n
Use:
\n`\/coldsweat_altitude status`<\/p>\n
This shows the active band, altitude modifier, shelter value, protection value, and detected heat sources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
