Snowball Recipe
Snowball Recipe lets players craft their own snowballs from a Snow Block, replacing the vanilla way of getting them.
What it does
The mod adds a crafting recipe that turns one Snow Block into snowballs, so players no longer need to rely on the default drop. It works on the server and does not change how the game is played beyond that recipe. Server owners need the mod installed, while players can join without it.
Snowball Recipe is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files covering 1.13 – 26.3 and snapshot builds available. It is also offered as a data pack for server platforms. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Craft snowballs
Players can make their own snowballs at a crafting table instead of collecting them only from the vanilla source.
Recipe from a Snow Block
A single Snow Block is the ingredient, keeping the recipe simple and tied to an item already found in the world.
Data pack option
The recipe is also available as a data pack for server platforms, so a server can use it without a loader.
