Vanilla Golf
by reallender
Vanilla Golf turns ordinary Minecraft items into a golf game, with golf balls, golf clubs, golf carts and cups that players use to score strokes on a course.
What it does
Golf balls are crafted from diorite and a crafting table. A placed ball is lifted again by holding shift while right-clicking it, and striking it from below, from a spot two blocks down, sends it into the air. Golf clubs are made from two sticks and most tool materials, and the strength of a swing depends on the club: wood barely moves the ball, while gold launches it far. Knockback from a club also applies to mobs and players, which opens room for PVP and PVE play.
Golf cups are crafted from diorite and mark the hole. When a golf ball touches a cup, the score is recorded per player, shown to the nearest players and announced in chat. Golf carts are built from a minecart and iron bars, drive only forward and backward and turn, and cannot hit a ball from inside, so the cart is used to hit the ball from outside. Combined with a golf club, a cart can boost a player into the air. Smooth diorite is crafted from eight polished diorite blocks around a water bucket, producing a surface that slides more than ordinary blocks yet grips less than ice. Slab and stair forms are included.
The mod is released for Forge 1.20.1 only, and it runs on client and server. The server and every player need it. It includes compatibility with the Create mod. The license is custom and the mod is not open source.

Scores and cups
Golf cups mark the hole, and each player's score is recorded and shown when the ball touches a cup.
Golf carts
A minecart-based cart drives forward, backward and turns, and can launch a player when combined with a club.

A new smooth diorite block is more slippery than normal blocks and comes with slab and stair forms.
