Anti Snowballs

by dylanjdaigrepont

Anti Snowballs is a Fabric utility that reduces the lag caused by large snowball counts on the client side.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21 – 1.21.5

What it does

The mod targets lag from snowball-generating machines, such as exponential farms built around snow golems. Snowballs that pile up in these setups can overload the client, and the mod is meant to ease that load during combat and in large farms. It is open source under the MIT License and published for Fabric only, in builds for 1.21 and 1.21.5, with 1.1.0 for 1.21.5 as the latest file.

Key features

  1. Snowball lag reduction

    Limits the client-side strain that large numbers of snowballs place on the game during heavy fights and farm activity.

  2. Client-only operation

    Only the player's client needs the mod, so servers can run without it and players join without any extra install.

  3. Visibility on other players

    Snowballs stay visible to other players on the server, so the mod does not hide thrown snowballs from anyone else.

Questions
