ice ball
by CTRL Studios
Ice Ball adds thrown orbs that create a frozen sphere or a fire area, freezing or burning the creatures inside.
What it does
Two orbs are crafted from supply items over a long session: an ice orb and a fire orb. Throwing an ice orb creates an icy sphere over a set area that freezes the creatures inside, while a fire orb creates a fire zone that damages them. Both orbs are part of the magic toolkit for adventure play. Ice Ball is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, and it has to run on both the client and the server. The code is All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Ice orb
A crafted orb that, once thrown, opens a sphere of ice over a set area and freezes what is caught inside.
Fire orb
A crafted orb that, once thrown, creates fire in a specific area and leaves creatures inside burning.
Crafted from supplies
Both orbs are made from items gathered over a long stretch of play, so they arrive as a reward for exploring.
