Fistful of bricks
by mrpurply
Fistful of Bricks lets players throw brick items as ranged weapons and adds several new brick block types with recipes and status effects.
What it does
Bricks are normally building material, and this mod gives them a combat role: they can be thrown as projectiles. It also adds a set of new brick blocks made from stone, moss, deepslate, tuff, mud, prismarine, nether, blackstone, endstone and quartz, and it changes some brick block recipes.
Two new status effects join the throwing system. Stun briefly removes a target's ability to move and attack, and Ensnared slows a target's movement by 20% per level. Smashable glass gives glass a breakable behavior that suits the new brick theme.
The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. Fistful of Bricks is published for NeoForge only, with files for 1.21.4 and 1.21.5. It is released under the Apache License 2.0, and the code is not open source. Its dependency list is empty, so no other mod is required.
Key features
Throwable bricks
Brick items can be thrown as ranged attacks, which gives the material a combat use.
Brick block variants
Stone, mossy stone, deepslate, tuff, mud, prismarine, red nether, blackstone, endstone and quartz brick blocks are added to the world.
Stun and Ensnared effects
Stun stops a target from moving or attacking for a short time, and Ensnared reduces movement speed by 20% per level.
Altered brick recipes
Several brick block recipes are changed, so some bricks are crafted differently from vanilla.
Smashable glass
Glass can be broken in a way that fits the brick-based theme of the mod.
