Knock U Back

by wbc3467

Knock U Back makes snowballs and eggs knock players back when they hit them, and it runs on the server alone.

FabricNeoForgeQuiltServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.18 – 26.1.2

What it does

Only snowball and egg hits that land on players are changed, so the knockback applies to players and to nothing else. The server runs the mod by itself, and players join without installing anything. The mod is published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.18 – 26.1.2 and the latest file for 26.1.2.

Key features

  1. Knockback on hit

    A snowball or egg that hits a player pushes that player back.

  2. Adjustable hit timing

    A combo setting controls whether a player can be hit several times within 20 ticks, and it is off by default.

  3. Invulnerability after a hit

    The time a player stays invulnerable after a snowball or egg hit can be set in the configuration.
