🎈 Eureka GAM Patch – Projectile Collision Fix for Eureka Balloons

Mod ID: eurekagampatch Version: 1.0.0 Minecraft Version: 1.19.2 Forge Version: 43.x License: MIT Author: Tom GAM = Games and More (my money-hungry boss made me say that)

🧭 What Is This Mod?

Eureka GAM Patch is a precision-engineered micro-mod designed to fix a very specific but highly disruptive issue in modded Minecraft: projectile collisions with Eureka balloons. If you’ve ever built an airship using <button type="button" data-url="https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/eureka">Eureka</button> and <button type="button" data-url="https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/valkyrienskies">Valkyrien Skies</button>, then fired an arrow at it—only to watch that arrow vanish into oblivion—you already know the pain this patch solves.

This mod intercepts projectile impact events and cancels balloon reactions without deleting the projectile. That means your arrows, tridents, potions, and other projectiles will behave naturally, while Eureka balloons remain blissfully unaware they’ve been hit.

No more disappearing arrows. No more broken combat mechanics. No more modpack crashes. Just clean, stable gameplay.

🎯 Why This Patch Exists

Let’s be honest: Eureka balloons are awesome. They’re the backbone of airship lift in Valkyrien Skies. But they weren’t built with projectile physics in mind. In combat-heavy modpacks, this leads to:

• Arrows vanishing mid-flight

• Tridents getting deleted on impact

• Potions failing to splash

• Server logs filling with errors

• Players losing gear and immersion

• Mixins throwing tantrums and crashing your game

Eureka GAM Patch fixes this with surgical precision. It doesn’t touch Eureka’s core code. It doesn’t use mixins. It doesn’t override vanilla behavior. It simply listens for projectile impacts and says, “Hey balloon, chill out.”

🛠️ What It Actually Does

• Cancels projectile impact logic only when hitting Eureka balloons

• Prevents balloons from reacting to projectile hits

• Does not delete the projectile (arrows stay in the world!)

• Avoids mixin-related crashes caused by premature class loading

• Keeps your modpack stable, your arrows flying, and your balloons floating

🧨 Why “GAM”?

“GAM” stands for Games and More, which is what my boss insists on calling every patch, fix, or tweak I make. He says it’s “brand synergy.” I say it’s “modding under capitalism.” Either way, Eureka GAM Patch is part of the GAM family—a growing collection of micro-mods that fix annoying stuff without bloating your modpack.

If you like this patch, keep an eye out for future GAM releases:

• Combat GAM Patch – Fixes hitbox weirdness in modded mobs

• Physics GAM Patch – Resolves floating block anomalies

• Boss GAM Patch – Adds a money-hungry boss who charges you for every arrow fired (just kidding… for now)

🗺️ Roadmap

Planned features for future versions:

• Config options to toggle projectile behavior

• Optional balloon damage tracking

• Visual effects on impact (puff of air, sound cue)

• Fabric compatibility (if demand exists)

• Support for modded balloons with custom registry names

• A secret boss fight where you battle my boss for control of the GAM brand
