PonderThyOrb
by its_Total
PonderThyOrb is a Fabric mod that adds a Pondering Orb, a Scrying Orb and a set of novelty items, each with its own function, for Minecraft 1.21.1 – 1.21.4.
What it does
The Pondering Orb is the central item of the mod. Holding it and using it gives an answer in the style of a magic 8 ball, and the Scrying Orb works like a coin flip, returning heads or tails on use. The mod also adds paintings and a Fushigi weapon, along with a few playful effects such as breakable windows.
The mod is a client and server install, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, across four game versions, 1.21.1, 1.21.2, 1.21.3 and 1.21.4, with 1.5.0 for 1.21.4 as the latest file. The code is licensed as All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
No required dependency is listed for Fabric. Items are not yet listed in the creative menu, so players who want them should obtain them with the give or get commands on a server or in a single-player world with cheats enabled.
