What it does

Bricks is a Fabric equipment mod that adds brick items players can throw at mobs and players. Each brick that lands deals five hearts of damage, so the throw works as a short-range weapon as well as a novelty. Stacks of bricks are available, so a player can carry enough to throw repeatedly without crafting more between fights.

Dispensers also work with the thrown bricks, letting a player set up automatic brick throwers in a contraption. The mod is categorized under Equipment and Cursed, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Fabric API is required and must be installed alongside Bricks.

The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker public. The only published file is version 1.0.0 for 1.21.8, dated 2025-08-10, which is also the first and last update. It is published for Fabric only.
