About this Mod
🎈 Inflated Gear
Step into the skies with the legendary relics of the Balloon Knights — a whimsical order who turned every battle into a carnival of clouds and every farm into a field of wind-swept wonder.
Inflated Gear brings you magical, balloon-themed armor and tools that bend the rules of Minecraft:
- Take a hit? You’re blasted back instead of hurt.
- Swing a hammer? Foes go flying skyward.
- Farm the land? Till fields in gusts of wind and whisper crops into sudden bloom.
- Chop a tree? Leaves scatter and pop like confetti.
Light, fragile, yet powerful — these tools don’t just change how you play, they change how the world feels. ✨
