Deadly Snow Golems

by ZerVancer

Deadly Snow Golems changes what snowballs do to mobs, so a snow golem's attack hurts its targets more than vanilla.

What it does

Snow golems throw snowballs at hostile mobs, and in this mod those snowballs deal damage instead of the usual harmless effect. The change applies on the server, so players join without installing anything, and only the server needs the mod. The mod is built for Fabric and covers six game versions, 1.21 – 1.21.5, with 1.1.1 for 1.21.5 as the latest file. It is released under CC0 1.0 Universal and is open source, and Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are optional add-ons.

Key features

  1. Damaging snowballs

    Snowballs thrown by snow golems deal damage to the mobs they hit.

  2. Planned mob-specific damage

    The author lists different damage values for specific mobs as a future addition.

  3. Planned backports

    Future updates are described as including backports of the damage changes to other versions.

Golem Targets is server-side only, open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and published for 1.21.11 on Fabric, so its version range does not overlap with this mod.
