Fetchball Blaster

Quickstart

1. Craft the Fetchball Blaster using the recipe below and pick it up — it stacks to just one.
2. Hold it in either hand and right-click to fire a glowing fetch ball.
3. Watch nearby mobs drop everything and trot straight to you. When they arrive, hearts appear above their heads.

Overview

The Fetchball Blaster is a handheld weapon that turns any mob — peaceful or hostile — into a temporary fetch companion. A single shot compels every mob within 10 blocks of the impact point to abandon whatever they were doing and navigate back to you. Even zombies and skeletons forget their aggression and joyfully return the ball. The effect ends on its own after 10 seconds or when a mob reaches you, whichever comes first.

What It Adds

How To Use

• Right-click (use key) while holding the Fetchball Blaster to fire a fetch ball projectile in the direction you are aiming.
• The ball travels in an arc and plays a toss sound on launch.
• On impact, the ball bursts into cheerful green particles and the fetch effect triggers on all living mobs within 10 blocks of the landing point.
• Affected mobs navigate toward you at a brisk pace. When a mob gets within roughly 2 blocks of you, hearts bloom above its head and the effect ends for that mob.
• The blaster has a 1-second cooldown between shots — a brief indicator will appear on the item while it recharges.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Radius: 10 blocks around the impact point.
• Duration: Up to 10 seconds (200 ticks) per shot. If a mob hasn't reached you within that window, it returns to its normal behaviour automatically.
• Hostility override: Hostile mobs (zombies, skeletons, etc.) temporarily suspend their aggression for the duration of the fetch. They will resume normal behaviour once the effect expires.
• Delivery confirmation: Heart particles appear above a mob the moment it successfully returns to you.
• Cooldown: 1 second (20 ticks) between shots.
• The Fetchball Blaster does not consume durability and is not stackable.

Crafting And Obtaining

The recipe unlocks automatically when you join a world. Craft it at a crafting table:

The blaster uses iron ingots, a dispenser, and bones — fitting materials for a dog-toy launcher.

Progression And Strategy

• Fire into a crowd of hostile mobs to neutralise them all at once without dealing any damage — useful for peaceful escapes or taming chaotic situations.
• Because the effect overrides pathfinding for up to 10 seconds, you can use it to herd mobs away from important builds or farms.
• Chain shots (one every second) to keep a large group of mobs perpetually occupied while you work nearby.
• The fetch effect works on any mob, so experiment in mob-dense areas like mob farms or village raids for maximum effect.
