Recipe
Here is the balloon recipe:

Usage
Control the balloon with WASD, Space and Ctrl!
- W/S increase or decrease the target speed of the balloon
- A/D rotate the balloon at 5 degrees per tick
- Space/Ctrl increase or decrease the target vertical speed of the balloon
- Sneak and Click to dye your balloons!
Do have in mind that the balloons only work if there is a player seated on them.
They will not move, or change speed, if empty.

Keep in mind that if you break a balloon, it's color will reset. I still haven't found a way to change this without having an item for every color.
NOTES!
The datapack version file works as both a datapack and resourcepack.
Put the same file on both folders
The mod version works globaly just like any other mod.
ALERT!
The version 0.2.0-alpha is not compatible with the other versions since so many functions got refactored to work with the WASD system, and to improve performance.
