Combat profile
Shipped defaults for Minecraft 26.3 / NeoForge. Server base stats, wave scaling and ability settings can change these values.
Behavior

Tier 1 costs 3 Rift Flux. Frost Skeleton Tier 2 costs 4 and has a separate configuration.
Water directly beneath its feet becomes permanent Packed Ice. Only water blocks are replaced; waterlogged blocks stay intact. It is immune to freezing and can walk on powder snow. Fire and lava deal double damage with the default non-fireproof settings.
Spawning & configuration

Use its dedicated egg from the creative inventory, or /give @s invmod:frost_skeleton_spawn_egg with command permission. See the Spawn Egg Reference. There is no dedicated vanilla replacement for this frost variant.
Other cold invaders include IM Freeze, whose snowball volleys apply Slowness and whose shields deflect projectiles.
Drops
