Fire Flower

Quickstart

1. Craft a Fire Flower using the recipe below, or grab one from the Combat tab in Creative mode.
2. Hold the Fire Flower in your hand and right-click to throw a bouncing fireball.
3. Watch it arc downward, bounce off the ground and walls, and home in on nearby mobs — each hit deals 1 heart of damage.
4. Each throw consumes one Fire Flower and triggers a short cooldown before you can throw again. Stack up to 16 to carry a good supply.

Overview

Fire Flower adds a single throwable item that lets you hurl a physics-driven fireball projectile. The fireball bounces around the environment like a rubber ball — useful for hitting mobs around corners, across uneven terrain, or in enclosed spaces. It is a purely mechanical weapon: it deals impact damage but does not set targets on fire.

What It Adds

How To Use

• Right-click with a Fire Flower in hand to launch a fireball in the direction you are looking.
• The projectile arcs downward under gravity, leaves a trail of flame and smoke particles, and plays a Blaze shoot sound on launch.
• When it hits the ground it bounces upward at a consistent height (Mario-style), retaining most of its horizontal speed. When it hits a wall it reflects off the surface.
• The fireball despawns after 20 bounces or roughly 10 seconds, whichever comes first.
• If the fireball strikes a living mob it deals 2 damage (1 heart) and despawns immediately — it does not set the target on fire.
• One Fire Flower is consumed per throw in Survival mode. In Creative mode your supply is not reduced.
• A brief cooldown (half a second) applies after each throw.

Crafting And Obtaining

The Fire Flower recipe is unlocked automatically when you join a world.

Surround a central Gunpowder with three Fire Charges and finish with a Slime Ball at the bottom. The Slime Ball is what gives the fireball its bouncy physics.

Abilities And Mechanics

Progression And Strategy

• Carry multiples. Each throw uses one item, so bring a full stack of 16 for extended combat.
• Use terrain to your advantage. The bouncing trajectory lets the fireball round corners and travel through corridors, hitting mobs that are not in your direct line of sight.
• Aim slightly downward. The projectile already arcs downward on launch; aiming at or just below a mob's level gives the most direct hit before the first bounce.
• Enclosed spaces. Caves and rooms amplify the fireball's effectiveness — it will keep bouncing until it finds a target or exhausts its bounce count.
• No fire damage. The Fire Flower will not burn mobs immune to fire damage, but the impact damage still applies, making it effective against Blazes and Nether mobs.
