FireBall(throw)
by lynx491
FireBall(throw) lets players throw fireballs as projectiles, a feature the vanilla game does not offer to them directly.
What it does
Throwable fireballs are added to the game through a special tab in the creative inventory. When thrown, a fireball travels at about 60 km per hour and explodes where it lands, damaging blocks and things in its path. The thrown fireball does not launch the thrower into the air and does not set the thrower on fire.
The mod also offers an alternate throwable fireball replacement, and a FireBall Mode that makes the existing fireball item throwable in the same way a ghast throws its fireballs. It is meant for players who want fireball fights or similar play, on single-player worlds and on servers. The files are built for Forge and NeoForge, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod.
Builds cover 1.19.2 – 1.21.1, with files for 1.19.2, 1.19.4, 1.20.1, 1.20.6 and 1.21.1. The latest Forge file is 1.2.1 for 1.20.1, published 2023-12-31, and the latest NeoForge file is 1.2.1 for 1.21.1, published 2024-09-07. The code is released under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
