The Snowy Biomes Update: New Structures, Mobs, and Frozen Mechanics!

Snowy biomes currently feel a bit empty. I propose an update them with unique structures, new mobs, and blocks.

1. Structure: The Ice Fort
These forts would generate in Tundra biomes in various sizes. They would be guarded by Strays, Illagers, and two new unique enemies. Conquering an Ice Fort would reward players with a brand new block: the Freezing Block.
2. Block: The Freezing Block
A block that freezes adjacent source blocks. Unlike the Frost Walker enchantment, water frozen by this block turns into permanent, non-breakable ice. Imagine placing this next to magma blocks in the deep ocean to create instant underwater structures!
3. Mobs & Mounts
- The Iceologer: Finally bring this long-awaited mob into the main game.
- Polar Bear Jockey: A unique variant featuring a Stray or an Illager riding a polar bear.
- Wolf Sled: A specialized winter mount, could attach multiple tamed wolves to a sled to traverse flat snowy biomes at high speeds.
4. Petrified Wood
Found occasionally in snowy forests, these pale-blue trees provide a highly unique resource. In crafting recipes, their wood functions as both wood (to craft sticks, boats, etc.) and stone (allowing you to craft "stone" tools directly from wood).
5. Massive Ice Caves: Indicated by the petrified trees on the surface, this underground biome is a mix between a Lush Cave and a Dripstone Cave, but completely frozen. It features massive frozen aquifers, overhead ice layers, and giant, dangerous icicles hanging from the ceilings and floors.
