Bouncy Balls were added in version 6 of Bathroom Blocks. They are crafted using a slimeball and dried kelp, giving you a ball that can be thrown and richochets off surfaces. When it loses enough speed, it will drop as an item to be picked up unless it was thrown by a Ball Golem. They will do no damage on contact but will cause knockback. They have a variant known as Basketballs that work the same with slightly heavier physics, which can be crafted by combining a plain ball with leather. They are also used to craft Compact Ball Golems.
An advancement called "One Spicy Bouncy Ball" is gained if the player hits a mob with a Bouncy Ball that has been set on fire.
Rodney's Tunnel
Bouncy Balls are projectiles are thrown by Ball Golems in Rodney's Tunnel, now dealing damage. This is the only source of Bouncy Balls in the whole game. Unlike their Minecraft appearance, Bouncy Balls are visible inside a Ball Golem's glass chamber.
Trivia
- The bouncy balls were inspired by a video on YouTube of a Minecraft Beta mod that added bouncy balls, which visually looked like purple slimeballs. The channel that uploaded this video also had a video where the creator really intensely played Minecraft Alpha and killed cows while you could hear keyboard and mouse noises in the background. The channel is currently unknown.
- The basketball variant of the item uses the same sprite as the basketball from the game BasketBALLAZ, a cancelled project by cflip, Kjolt and Logan of Logan's Laboratory.
