ReallyBouncyBalls
by InvalidJoker
ReallyBouncyBalls adds a throwable ball that ricochets off blocks and mobs, and players can dye it, enchant it and recall it.
What it does
Players throw the ball with a right-click. Each contact with a block or mob sends it back, though it loses a little speed every bounce until it drops to the ground as an item. Walking over the dropped ball picks it up again. Some surfaces behave differently from others, and a ball can end up creeping along the ground or stopping early instead of bouncing on.
The ball is crafted by placing one dye in the middle ring of slime balls, and the result can be combined with other dyes in the crafting grid to choose a colour. A dyed ball keeps its colour when it flies, so players can tell whose ball is whose in a crowd. The Bounciness enchantment adds more bounces, and its third level reduces the speed lost per bounce. Loyalty works the same way it does for the loyal trident: once the ball runs out of bounces it flies back through walls and lands in the inventory.
The mod runs on Fabric for Minecraft 26.2 and needs both Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.

How it compares
Bogey! runs on Fabric for 26.2, like ReallyBouncyBalls, but it is not open source and is published under All rights reserved. Bouncy Blocks is a Fabric mod for 1.20.4 with a different target version and the same All rights reserved license. Throwable Slimeballs is open source no, under All rights reserved, and covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 26.3, so it reaches more loaders and versions.
