Little Dice
by Frenk02
Little Dice adds a throwable dice item to NeoForge 1.21.1, letting players toss a die that settles on a random face after it bounces.
What it does
Right-clicking the world throws a dice item along a trajectory that follows a simulated arc. The die bounces, loses speed through damping, slides on the ground with friction and stops showing a face from 1 to 6. Gravity, air resistance and ground friction are all part of the physics, so the movement is meant to look like a real die rather than a fixed animation.
A settled die can be picked up again with a right-click. Dice stack 16 to a slot, and a die left on the ground turns back into an item after 30 seconds, which keeps the world from filling with loose dice. The mod was extracted from the Tharidia Things collection, a part of the larger Tharidia medieval fantasy roleplay server, and works on its own as well as part of that ecosystem. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with 0.1.2-beta as the latest, and the code is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, which makes it open source.
