What it does

A flying mob takes two hearts of healing whenever a thrown snowball strikes it. The player throws from a sitting or standing position at any distance, and each hit that lands restores health. Heart particles appear over the mob to show that the heal went through, and a cooldown of one second applies between heals, so repeated throws do not stack instantly.

The mod ships as a datapack-based addition that works on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Server owners can change how much health each heal restores, and the mod can also attach different effects to a heal, such as a speed boost. Server owners install it, and players can join with or without it. Files are published for 1.21.6, 1.21.7 and 1.21.8, with 1.0+mod for 1.21.8 as the latest build, and the code is shared under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, so it is not open source.
