Snowballs Extinguish Fire
Makes snowballs thrown at fire extinguish it, like they should! Also plays sounds when splash potions extinguish fire.
⬇ Download on ModrinthFor some reason, snowballs never could extinguish fire.
Throwable items being able to remove fire blocks sounds really cool, but for some reason Mojang doesnt pay attention to the obviously lackluster mechanic.
What does this do?
The datapack makes every thrown snowball extinguish fire blocks in a small AoE, like water bottles. Additionally, because of whatever the case is, water bottles don't play the fire extinguishing sound when they extinguish fires, so this datapack also fixes that.
Broken?
The datapack might show that its "Broken or Incompatible" in the selection screen, which I'm unsure why it does that. In theory, it should work with every version, up until the one when datapacks were even added.
