The Snow Biome Update in 99 Nights in the Forest completely changes how you explore and survive. From freezing cold to new enemies, armor, and rare animals, this update brings tons of fresh content. If you’re not prepared, the snow will kill you fast—but if you are, there’s a lot to discover and unlock. Here’s a full breakdown of everything added in the Snow Biome update and how to make the most of it.
1. New Snow-Covered Area
The game now features a full snowy section of the map, unlocked as you upgrade your base campfire. Once the boundary reaches this cold zone, you’ll notice snow-covered trees, frozen terrain, and harsh survival mechanics. But there’s a twist: you will freeze if you don’t gear up. Your health slowly drains from the cold unless you wear the right items.
2. Warm Weather Gear – How to Craft It
To survive in the Snow Biome, you must craft cold-resistant clothing. Head to a Warm Crafting hut in the forest—usually found near the snowline—and interact with the crafting table there. You’ll be able to make:
- Ear Muffs
- Arctic Fox Hat
- Polar Bear Hat
- Beanie
These items help slow or completely stop the freezing effect when equipped.
3. New Animals and Drops
The Snow Biome introduces exclusive animals that drop unique materials:
- Arctic Fox – Drops Arctic Fox Pelt used for crafting.
- Polar Bear – Drops Polar Bear Pelt, essential for the Polar Bear Hat.
- Woolly Mammoth – A massive and powerful creature that’s very tough to kill, but drops huge amounts of food.
Fighting these animals is tough—especially the mammoth—so go in prepared with weapons and healing items.
4. New Weapons, Armor, and Structures
Aside from clothing, there are new weapons and armor added with this update. Though not all of them are easy to find, they’re hidden throughout the Snow Biome and dropped by dangerous enemies.
There are also new structures scattered around the map, including cult-like areas and ancient-looking shrines.
5. Four Limited-Time Badges
This update also comes with four limited-time event badges that are only available during this Snow Biome event. You’ll need to explore, craft, and possibly solve hidden tasks to unlock them all. These include:
- Cultist Gem Badge (via the snowman puzzle) – How to Get
- Others are tied to exploration, animal hunting, or crafting milestones
The Snow Biome update in 99 Nights in the Forest is more than just a visual change—it reshapes how you play the game. From surviving the cold to fighting new beasts and collecting rare gear, there’s plenty to do. Make sure to explore early and unlock the limited-time badges before they disappear. Stay warm and explore smart.
