Recipe

Here is the balloon recipe:

Usage

Control the balloon with WASD, Space and Ctrl!

  • W/S increase or decrease the target speed of the balloon
  • A/D rotate the balloon at 5 degrees per tick
  • Space/Ctrl increase or decrease the target vertical speed of the balloon
  • Sneak and Click to dye your balloons!

Do have in mind that the balloons only work if there is a player seated on them.
They will not move, or change speed, if empty.

Colorful Balloons!

As of v0.0.8 and up if you interact with the balloons with dyes in hand, they will be colored

Available colors are:

color ingame item version
base base water bucket v0.0.8+
brown brown brown dye v0.1.1-alpha+
red red red dye v0.0.8+
orange orange orange dye v0.1.1-alpha+
yellow yellow yellow dye v0.1.1-alpha+
green green green dye v0.0.8+
lime lime lime dye v0.1.1-alpha+

blue blue blue dye v0.0.8+
purple purple purple dye v0.1.1-alpha+
magenta magenta magenta dye v0.1.1-alpha+
pink pink pink dye v0.1.1-alpha+
white white white dye v0.1.1-alpha+
light gray light_gray light gray dye v0.1.1-alpha+
gray gray gray dye v0.1.1-alpha+
black black black dye v0.1.1-alpha+

Keep in mind that if you break a balloon, it's color will reset. I still haven't found a way to change this without having an item for every color.

NOTES!
The datapack version file works as both a datapack and resourcepack.
Put the same file on both folders
The mod version works globaly just like any other mod.

ALERT!
The version 0.2.0-alpha is not compatible with the other versions since so many functions got refactored to work with the WASD system, and to improve performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fancy Balloons server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong datapack version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.5). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Fancy Balloons compatible with datapack and fabric and forge and minecraft and neoforge and quilt?

Fancy Balloons officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, minecraft, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 1.21.5, 1.21.3, 1.21.2. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Fancy Balloons – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Fancy Balloons consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
