🔥 Fireball Wand
Fire Wand is a lightweight, server-friendly Minecraft Forge mod that allows players to launch powerful Ghast-style fireballs using a configurable activation item.
The mod is designed to be simple to use while remaining highly configurable through in-game commands. Customize the activation item, fireball speed, explosion power, and optional NBT requirements without ever leaving the game.
This version was created mostly for fun, so it will only be released for Minecraft 1.20.1. I don't currently plan to update it further unless there's enough interest from the community and people want to see more of this type of content.

🔥 How It Works
Hold the configured activation item and simply right-click.
The spawned fireball:
- Travels in a perfectly straight line.
- Keeps a constant velocity.
- Explodes upon impact.
- Automatically despawns after 30 seconds if it hasn't exploded.
- Prevents abandoned fireballs from permanently loading chunks.
💾 Configuration File
All settings are automatically stored inside:
config/firewand-server.json
Any changes made using commands are immediately saved and persist across server restarts.
🌐 Multiplayer Support
Fire Wand is fully compatible with multiplayer servers.
Configuration is handled server-side, ensuring all players share the same settings.
