Blizzards

Blizzards would heavily obscure vision with a more erratic and quick particle pattern and a heavy fog effect on screen. It would induce a 'freezing' affect unto the player, similar to when one falls into powdered snow. In order to not frustrate players, there would be many ways to circumvent the affect. Some examples include, - Wearing leather armor, with partial armor slowing the freeze speed and a complete set removing it completely. - Consuming warm foods such as rabbit stew, mushroom stew, and beetroot soup. - Standing near a source of heat such as lava or campfires. - Standing in an enclosed space like buildings or caves. Blizzards would be an entertaining wildcard during the normal gameplay loop. It is easy to get around once you understand its mechanics, and adds a threatening ambience to cold biomes. Items such as leather armor and rabbit stew gain additional uses and incentive to use.
