SnowmanBro
by JaaiDead
SnowmanBro lets players take direct control of a snowman companion that launches snowballs, turning ordinary snow golems into reliable partners.
What it does
A player spawns a SnowmanBro by throwing a custom snowball, which lands and creates the snowman at the impact spot. Once spawned, the snowman can be commanded with simple, clear orders, and it can be linked to the player's remote control item so that orders are issued from a distance. Ordinary snow golems also become reliable partners for snowball fights, base defense and wandering through the world.
The mod adds five modes: Attack, where the snowman hunts and attacks targets; Defend, where it stays near and protects the player; Follow, where it walks behind like a pet or companion; Stay, where it remains in place; and a mode cycle the player steps through with the remote. The remote is a held item that is linked to one specific SnowmanBro, after which the player cycles through modes and issues commands.
The mod is published for NeoForge only, with a single game version, 1.21.11. The server and every player need the mod installed. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. The latest file, 1.0.0 for 1.21.11, was published on 2025-12-27, the same day as the first release. The mod was made for WinterJam 2025.
Key features
Snowball launching

Remote control linking
A held remote control item is linked to one specific SnowmanBro, so orders can be given without standing next to it.
