SCP-104 | The Lonely Ball
In SCP-104 | The Lonely Ball, a glass sphere with a wooden core binds whoever touches it to itself, and the mod adds that sphere as a Forge item for 1.20.1.
What it does
The sphere is an opaque glass object with decorative patterns and a wooden core. Once a player physically touches it, the sphere becomes linked to that player, and the link never passes to anyone else who touches it later. The only ways to break the link are dying or dropping into a near-death state, which happens when the linked player's health is reduced to exactly half.
Reaching the near-death state is not the only consequence of the bond. When the linked player moves more than 9 blocks from the sphere, the sphere disappears from its current location and reappears within 2 blocks of the subject. A sphere kept in another player's inventory follows the same rule after the linked subject stays distant for a while. A sphere held in hand counts as within range, so it does not teleport.
The mod is built on the Forge loader, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files exist for 1.20.1 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest file from 2026-02-22. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.

What the author says
The Lonely Ball mod adds five new items (SCP, documentation, label and more…) and one structure to the game. The mod is heavily inspired by SCP-104 from the SCP Foundation Universe. SCP-104 is an opaque glass sphere with decorative patterns and a wooden core that, once “attached” to someone, cannot remain alone.
