Fast Projectiles
by Shikaru
Fast Projectiles is a client-side optimization for Fabric that cuts the delay players feel when they throw ender pearls, snowballs, eggs and potions.
What it does
The mod changes how throwable items are used on the client. Instead of waiting for the server cooldown to finish, it sends the interaction packets earlier, so a throw registers with much lower perceived delay. The server keeps its own cooldown rules, and the mod does not change how projectiles behave once they are launched. It runs on the client alone, so players install it and servers do not need it. Builds exist for 1.21.4 and 1.21.11 on Fabric, under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source.
Key features
Early interaction packets
Interaction packets are sent before the server cooldown finishes, which reduces the wait between throws.
Covers common throwables
Ender pearls, snowballs, eggs and potions are all handled by the same early-send behavior.
Server rules unchanged
The server still enforces its own cooldown, so the mod only changes when the client sends its request.
