Blowing Bubbles
by nml
Blowing Bubbles lets players blow bubbles that trap entities and pop after a delay, and it is available for Fabric on 1.21.8 – 1.21.11.
What it does
Players craft a bubble wand from two copper ingots and two amethyst shards, then hold the use key to blow a bubble. The longer the key is held, the larger the bubble grows, and a crosshair indicator shows the size as it forms. Large enough bubbles trap entities inside them. Each bubble pops on its own after a delay of 7 to 12 seconds, and the wand's reload time scales with how long the player spent blowing.
The mod covers more than one way of playing. Bubbles can be coloured by dyeing them, and a dye added to a bubble produces a rainbow effect, while colourful bubbles also use platform blocks more readily. Bubbles can be placed to stand in the world, so they serve as short-lived decorations as well as a way to hold entities. Blowing Bubbles runs on client and server and needs Fabric API, Fusion (Connected Textures) and MidnightLib to start, and it is published for Fabric across 1.21.8, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11.
Key features
Crafted bubble wand
The wand is made from two copper ingots and two amethyst shards, so it needs no mining beyond those materials.
Size by hold time
A longer hold on the use key produces a bigger bubble, and a crosshair indicator shows the size while the bubble forms.
Timed popping
Each bubble pops after 7 to 12 seconds, and the wand reloads for a time that grows with how long the bubble was blown.
Dyed and standing bubbles
Dyeing a bubble turns it a colour, a dye added to a bubble makes a rainbow version, and bubbles can be placed to stand in the world.

Use cases
Trapping mobs
Large bubbles hold entities for a while, which lets a player move a mob or keep it still until the bubble pops.
Decorative builds
Standing bubbles and coloured variants can add short-lived decoration to a build or a map.
Who it’s for: Players who want a playful equipment item for survival or creative worlds, and server owners who want a simple entity-holding tool they can run on both sides.
