Golf Ball

🏌️ Golf Ball is a datapack that transforms you into a golf ball in Minecraft, offering an immersive golfing experience!
⛳ The following two commands are your best friends:

• 🎮 /function golf_ball:summon: Turns the player executing the command into a golf ball (e.g: /execute as <player> positioned 123 100 54 run function golf_ball:summon)
• 🔄 /function golf_ball:respawn: Rolls back the ball to the last shot position (e.g: /execute as <player> run function golf_ball:respawn)

🆕 Physics Engines (since 1.6.0)

Since Minecraft 26.2, you can alternatively summon the ball as a tiny sulfur cube holding an absorbed sponge (the vanilla "Golf Ball" archetype 🏌️) with /function golf_ball:sulfur_cube.
Bouncing, friction and air drag are then handled natively by the game through the new bounciness, friction_modifier and air_drag_modifier attributes - no per-tick physics functions!

• ⚙️ Tune a ball's physics directly with attributes, e.g:
  /execute as <player> on vehicle run attribute @s minecraft:bounciness base set 0.9
  (same for minecraft:friction_modifier and minecraft:air_drag_modifier)
• 🧱 Swap the absorbed block to change the ball's archetype, e.g. a "Rubber Ball":
  /execute as <player> on vehicle run item replace entity @s body with minecraft:oak_planks
• ⚠️ Vanilla limitation: a sulfur cube holding a block has its step height hardcoded to 0, so it cannot roll up slabs or snow layers. That's why the default golf_ball:summon still uses the scoreboard physics engine (cat base) with all the settings below.

Configuration Commands ⚙️

Fine-tune your golfing experience with these powerful configuration commands!
Customize ball physics, movement dynamics, power settings and more - either globally for all new balls or locally for individual balls. 🎮

⚠️ Using /scoreboard players set for all commands below (abbreviated as /SPS)

Core Settings 🎯

Surface Friction Settings ⚡ (legacy engine only)

Control how the ball behaves on different surfaces by adjusting friction values. Each value represents the percentage of speed retained per tick.
Vanilla sulfur cube balls use the block's real friction combined with the friction_modifier attribute instead.

Usage Tips 💡

• 🎯 For local commands targeting a specific ball, use this format: /execute as <player> on vehicle run scoreboard players set @s golf_ball.strength_percentage <value>
• 🎮 The "@s" selector refers to the golf ball currently being controlled by the player
• ⚡ Surface friction values dramatically affect ball behavior - experiment to find the perfect settings!
• 📁 View all available surface definitions in the surfaces json files
• ⚠️ You may have fun with unrealistic configurations, but the physics will be wonky!
