Snowball and Egg Knockback Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do snowballs and eggs work on all mobs or just players?
The knockback effect applies when you hit players, but snowballs and eggs will still interact with mobs—they just won't deal knockback to them. Mobs can still be pushed by the projectiles themselves, but the mod's knockback enhancement is designed for PvP scenarios.
How much knockback do snowballs vs eggs deal?
Both snowballs and eggs deal knockback when thrown at players, making them equally useful for defensive purposes. The knockback is strong enough to interrupt attacks or create distance between you and an opponent.
Can I use this mod in multiplayer servers?
Yes, this mod works in multiplayer, but both the server and all players need the mod installed for the knockback effect to work consistently. Check with your server administrator before installing to ensure compatibility.
Do I need to craft anything special or is it automatic?
The mod is automatic—once installed, any snowball or egg you throw will have the knockback effect without any special crafting or setup required. Just throw them normally and the knockback will activate on impact with players.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
This mod is lightweight and shouldn't cause noticeable performance problems since it only adds a simple knockback effect to existing projectiles. Performance impact depends on your system, but the mod itself is optimized for minimal overhead.
Can I turn off the knockback effect for certain situations?
The mod applies knockback to all snowballs and eggs by default with no built-in toggle. If you need to disable it, you would need to remove the mod or check if a configuration file exists in your mod folder.
Does this work with snowballs from snow golems?
Snowballs thrown by snow golems should also deal knockback to players when they hit, making them more effective as allies in combat situations.
What happens if I throw snowballs or eggs at mobs in a confined space?
Since mobs don't receive knockback from this mod, they'll continue attacking normally even if hit. However, you can still use snowballs and eggs to knock back other players who are in tight spaces with you.
Is this mod compatible with other combat mods?
This mod should work alongside most combat mods since it only affects snowballs and eggs, but compatibility depends on what other mods you're using. Test your mod combination in a single-player world first to check for conflicts.
Can I use this to defend my base from raids or invasions?
Yes—you can use snowballs and eggs to knock back attacking players, making them useful for base defense. Combine this with other defensive structures and tactics for a more effective perimeter.
