About this Mod
I made this at a summer camp when I was like 12. It adds the following items:
- Rainbow: a crafting ingredient that falls from the sky when it rains
- Rainblow: a slightly rarer crafting ingredient that also falls from the sky when it rains
- Rainblow Tools: exactly what they sound like (made of rainblows)
- Pickaxe
- Sword
- Hat (helmet)
- Hoodie (chestplate)
- Pants (leggings)
- Shoes (boots)
- Rain Bow: a bow made of rainbows (in place of sticks)
- Rainblow Arrow: an arrow made of rainblows (to be used with the rain bow)
- Rainblow Block: exactly what it sounds like
- Rainbow Wool: a wool block that includes all colors (crafted with rainbows or with a white wool and red, orange, yellow, lime, light blue, and purple dyes)
- Rainbow Wool Stairs: exactly what it sounds like
- Rainblow Forcefield: an item that, when right-clicked, generates a force-field around the player (crafted with 8 rainblows and one obsidian)
- Rainblow Staff: a wand that can be drawn back and released to fire a fireball. Draw pack part way for a small one or all the way for a large one (crafted with 3 rainblows and 2 quartz)
This mod is only ever provided AS IS. I neither plan to update this mod nor to support it. I made it the better part of a decade ago and have since then only touched the jar to edit my name in the author line.

Server lagging with Rainblow – how to optimize performance?
