Hey there! I see you've taken an interest in my wacky little mod.
Let's introduce you to the cool things it will add for you!
Water Balloons is a mod that, you guessed it, adds water balloons to Minecraft. But hold on, that doesn't really cut it, does it? I've also added some other types of balloons to help contribute to your new experience...
Psst... This mod also includes achievements!
ATTENTION!
This mod is still in Alpha, which means it's greatly Work In Progress!
I will always be open to feedback, but especially during this time, I count on your opinion.
Please tell me in the comments: - If you tried this mod and what you think about it - If you have a suggestion - If you encounter any bugs/glitches
- If you have any questions

7. Have fun!
Let's start with the simplest one, the good 'ol balloon filled with water. While you might think this is just a useless item to throw at your friends for fun, it does actually hold some potentially helpful uses and might prove to be a nice tool to have.
What does it do?
- Extinguishing fire in a 3x3x3 radius - Extinguishes burning entities (e.g. players, mobs) - Damage blazes - Cooling down creepers that are about to explode
- Moistening farmland in a 3x3 radius
How to get this balloon?
Hydrogen Balloon
What is it?
Some of you might know from chemistry class that when enclosed hydrogen is exposed to oxygen and heat, it reacts quite... violently. What some of you may not know is what happens when the hydrogen is already accompanied by oxygen before it's exposed to heat. A bigger and louder BOOM! The Hydrogen Balloon is a throwable item containing such a gas mixture. When thrown in fire or lava, well... let's just say I hope that you don't use headphones.
What does it do?
- Explodes when thrown in fire/lava - Explodes when thrown on a burning entity (e.g. players, mobs) - Retrievable when it didn't explode
How to get this balloon?
This item is not craftable yet. For now, get it with creative mode or commands if you want to use it.
Have an idea for the recipe or another way to get it? Please suggest it in the comments!
New balloons are coming your way...
Modpacks
This mod is open source. Feel free to use it in your modpack, though I recommend you wait until the official release.
Hi Cool_Nick_Name! Thanks for your feedback. Your suggestion for an upwards falling balloon is actually exactly what I was planning to add, called the Helium Balloon. You can expect to see it soon, along with other balloon types!
how about stringed helium balloons, each gives the same value of lightness, and you can bundle them, eventually letting you float around. fun to use with a elytra, if you want to fall slower. and maybe a sulfur hexafluoride balloon, that counteracts levitation but reduces jump height for each balloon in a bundle.

Cool idea! Thanks for the suggestion, I'll add it to the list. If it ends up in the mod, I'll be sure to credit you.
