Usage[]
When used on a mob, a fence, or a wall, balloons attach to the mob or block, similarly to a lead. Balloons float into the air faster than the speed the player flies up, but remain grounded if tied to a fence. If tied to a mob, the balloon floats away and carries the mob into the air, before both eventually despawn or disappear.
| Mob | Mass |
|---|---|
| Chicken | 0.6 |
| Cow | 1.0 |
| Donkey | 1.0 |
| Horse | 1.0 |
| Iron Golem | 2.0 |
| Llama | 1.0 |
| Mule | 1.0 |
| Mooshroom | 1.0 |
| Panda | 1.5 |
| Pig | 0.75 |
| Sheep | 0.75 |
| Snow Golem | 1.0 |
| Fox | 0.6 |
When a balloon is shot by an arrow or a trident, or floats into a solid block, it pops, summons particles, and is destroyed. It drops nothing. A balloon tied to a fence post bursts when a player strikes it in any direction.
