SnowballsPlus
by MaoMao
SnowballsPlus, a Fabric mod by MaoMao, adds several new snowball types with different effects so that snowball fights between friends have more variety.
What it does
Vanilla snowballs are joined by additional types, each with its own function, and their recipes can be looked up in REI. The added snowballs are meant to make a snowball fight more lively, whether it happens in single-player or on a multiplayer server. Patchouli is required, so it must be installed next to SnowballsPlus on the same loader.
Either side can run the mod, and neither the server nor the client needs it. Files are published for Fabric on 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, with FABRIC-1.20.1-1.1 as the latest file, released on 2023-07-29. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker public. The author allows it in modpacks as long as the source is credited.
