Ice and Fire Community Edition is a community-maintained continuation of Ice And Fire Mod aimed at newer Minecraft versions. If you are choosing between the original and the Community Edition, the right answer depends mostly on which Minecraft version you want to play.
What the Community Edition is
Popular mods sometimes outlive the pace at which their original authors can update them. When that happens, open-source code allows other developers to carry the project forward. Ice and Fire Community Edition is one such continuation: a separate release maintained by community contributors, built from the original project's code.
It is not published by this website, and this website is not affiliated with either team.
How it differs from the original
| Question | Original line | Community Edition |
|---|---|---|
| Who maintains it | The original mod authors | Community contributors |
| Minecraft versions | Older versions, including the 1.18.2 branch linked here | Newer versions; check its page for the current list |
| Where to get it | The original project pages and repository | Its own project pages |
| Features and fixes | As released by the original team | May include fixes, changes and new bugs of its own |
Before you switch a world or modpack
- Back up the world. Moving a world between versions of a large content mod can lose or alter creatures and blocks.
- Never install both the original and the Community Edition in the same instance. They register overlapping content and will conflict.
- Check dependencies. Library requirements and supported loaders are listed on the Community Edition's own page and may differ from the original.
- Test in a copy first, especially on a multiplayer server where every player must use the same files.
Which one should you use?
If you want to play on Minecraft 1.18.2 or an older supported version, the original line fits, and our step-by-step install guide covers the setup. If you want Ice And Fire content on a newer Minecraft version, the Community Edition is the route to look at. Either way, match every file to one Minecraft version.
