Obtaining

Usage

When {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}used on a Minecraft:mob, a Minecraft:fence, or a Minecraft:wall, balloons attach to the mob or block, similar to a Minecraft:lead. A balloon remains grounded if tied to a fence or a wall. When untied by right-clicking on it, a balloon rises into the air quickly.

When a balloon is shot by an Minecraft:arrow, wind charge, or a Minecraft: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 from any direction.

A balloon attached to a mob can lift up the mob, more slowly than the balloon rises on its own. If tied to a Minecraft:mob whose mass is less than or equal to 1, the balloon floats away and carries the Minecraft:mob high into the air, before both eventually disappear. Destroying or detaching the balloon from its suspended mob causes the mob to fall and take fall damage. When attached to a mob whose mass is above 1, the balloon floats up to the limit of its tether, briefly yanking the mob upward by a fraction of a block, but otherwise the mob remains on the ground.

A heavier mob with mass above 1 falls slowly while attached to a balloon. The balloon despawns when the mob falls more than 16 blocks. Currently, the only heavy mob that can have a balloon attached is the iron golem. A balloon cannot be attached to a ravager.

A player holding a balloon as an item falls normally and takes normal fall damage. Players cannot be attached to a balloon however.

Attachable mobs and entities

Generally, non-hostile terrestrial mobs can be attached to a balloon. A balloon can attach to almost any entity that a Minecraft:lead can attach to, except for axolotls, frogs, nautiluses and zombie nautiluses. Balloons can also attach to pandas, which leads cannot. A mob can have both a lead and balloon attached at the same time if the lead is attached before the balloon.
