Balloons are items that were added on July 19, 2021.
Obtaining[]
Purchasing[]
Balloons can be purchased for 2 Emeralds in the Item Shop. You can only have up to 5 balloons in your inventory.
Lucky Blocks[]
Three balloons have a common chance to be dropped from lucky blocks.
Balloons & Snowballs (Mechanic)[]
Balloons could’ve been purchased for 2 Emeralds if said mechanic was chosen.
Usage[]
Floating[]
Players can have up to three balloons attached to themselves at a time. Having one or two balloons will decrease the player's gravity, giving them a jump boost and slowing their fall. Having three balloons allows the player to float upwards until a certain height limit., at which point a balloon will pop. Players can also drop TNT by clicking in mid-air with balloons. Balloons will auto-deploy when low enough in the void.
Popping[]
Balloons will pop for the following reasons:
- Reaching the height limit of floating.
- Reaching 35 seconds since they were inflated.
- If the player takes any type of damage.
- Pressing the "Pop Balloon" button above the hotbar or the [X] key.

Trivia[]
- It is possible to bypass the balloon stack limit.
- Dying with the 'Clingy' enchant and dropping balloons to the ground will grant the player double the amount.
- Having below the stack limit and buying balloons to get over the limit. This has since been fixed.
- Balloons change color based on a player's team.
- Balloons were introduced as a limited-time item, though, it became permanent after September 17, 2021.
- However, it was removed from the item shop in the February 17, 2023 update. The reason is currently unknown.
- Balloons used to have a cooldown on deploying. When the player took damage from any source (with the exception of tesla coil traps), another balloon could not be deployed after 5 seconds. It was changed later changed to 3 seconds but the mechanic was ultimately replaced by the balloon stack limit.
- The balloon cooldown would actually stack itself each hit.
- When a player uses a balloon, there is a chance that they will fly up 5 - 10 blocks if they have high ping or trigger anti cheat.
- Deploying a balloon after a match ends will gain the player low-gravity.
- In the Season 2 Halloween Lobby, there was a grave that said "RIP Balloon Nerf".
- Despite the balloon icon having a "neat" shape, this is not the case for the actual model, which is completely spherical.
- A visual glitch on the Halloween balloon skin and the Lunar New Year balloon skin will trigger if the player pop a balloon where the deployed balloons will not be visible.
- Increased movement speed will not increase the player's speed while having travelling with balloons.
- Many damage sources do not pop balloons
