Air Puffers

by Cosmic_Hunter11

Air Puffers adds a passive mob that floats through overworld biomes and releases a wind burst when alarmed, pushing nearby enemies away.

What it does

Air Puffers spawn as ambient mobs in several overworld biomes, among them the forest, grove, shore and peak types of the world. Players can brush them to collect a drop that works like a wind charge item.

Unlike most mobs, an Air Puff relies on a defense rather than attacking. When it feels alarmed, it creates a small wind explosion similar to a wind charge, knocking away nearby enemies so they have to attempt an escape. The mod is built for players who want silly companions in the world.

Installation works with Fabric or Quilt for Minecraft 1.21.1, with 1.0.0 as the only published build. The mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it. The code is all rights reserved and not open source.

Key features

  1. Ambient flying mobs

    Air Puffers roam the overworld in the listed biomes and appear without any spawning setup by the player.

  2. Wind explosion defense

    When alarmed, an Air Puff releases a short burst of wind that pushes enemies nearby away from it.

  3. Wind charge drop

    Brushing an Air Puff yields a drop that behaves like a wind charge, giving players a use for the mob.

  4. Companion mobs

    The mobs are meant as light, playful additions to exploration rather than threats to fight.
