Bounce!
by Marstonnn_
Bounce! adds a Slime Apple that lets a player bounce off the ground and cancel fall damage, and it is one of the few food items in its category built around slime.
What it does
The mod centres on slime themed content for Minecraft. Its main addition is the Slime Apple, a new food item that grants the Slimability effect, which makes the player bounce off the floor like a slime ball and cancels fall damage on landing. The apple is not a cheap item: a crafting recipe uses eight slime balls around one apple, and fishing is the other route to obtain it, so players have to look for slime first.
A stronger version comes from brewing. The Potion of Slimability II extends the effect and is the intended route for players who find the basic apple too weak. The author notes that high-level slimability can be dangerous when a player launches into the air carelessly, so it suits players who already know the bounce mechanics.
Bounce! runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric and Forge for Minecraft 1.20 – 1.20.6, with Fabric files for 1.20.6 and Forge files for 1.20.1. The code is under the Apache License 2.0, and the mod is not open source.
