This is just a fun suggestion, but i would enjoy seeing it added into the mod.

I don't think that the current way of getting snowballs is very accurate. You need a shovel, and there is no packing process what-so-ever, versus in real life you just scoop up some snow from the ground, pack it up, and nail your buddy with a snowball. I propose the ability to create snowballs by right clicking on snow blocks (partial) rather than only a shovel, although this could perhaps give a slight cold overlay, and eventually start giving cold damage unless you use gloves (which would be rather pointless to add, so they just give cold). Second I propose leaf-balls, now some of you may be thinking that this is a stupid idea, but I do it all the time in the fall with my brother. The idea is that when you right click fallen leaves similar to snow you would get a leaf-ball which could then be thrown (shorter distance than snowball)

On the topic of particles however I believe that when packing a snowball or leafball it should give off the respective particles, and when throwing a leaf-ball it should also give off leaf particles and shrink until it hits the ground or an entity causing a leafsplosion with its remaining leaves.

Just a fun idea that could add to child NPCs as well as allow us to goof off more, or decorate our halls with falling leaves (dispenser with leaf balls)
