Fireball Wand
Fire Wand lets players launch Ghast-style fireballs by right-clicking a configurable activation item, with speed and explosion power set by the server.
What it does
Holding the configured activation item and right-clicking launches a fireball. Fireball speed and explosion strength are both configurable, and an optional NBT requirement can be set so only items carrying a specific tag work as the wand. Fireballs despawn after 30 seconds so they never keep chunks loaded permanently, and optional chunk loading support lets them keep traveling through unloaded chunks while they are alive.
Configuration is handled server-side, so every player on a server shares the same settings. Changes made with in-game commands are saved automatically and persist across server restarts, and a command displays the current configuration and restores default values. The mod is built to stay simple in use while remaining fully adjustable, and it is compatible with multiplayer servers. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1 only, with the 1.0.0 release dated 2026-07-22, and the mod is open source under the MIT License.
