Assorted Boomerangs
Assorted Boomerangs adds wood and diamond boomerangs that fly out, turn around and return to the thrower's hand, with right-click throwing.
What it does
Each boomerang is thrown with a right click and travels roughly 10 blocks before turning back. The wood boomerang is crafted from planks, and the diamond boomerang is crafted from wood boomerangs and diamonds; the diamond version flies about 15 blocks. Boomerangs hit mobs, pass through them and keep going, pick up items on the way and carry them back, and bounce off walls and the ground before heading back toward the thrower.
The throw can flip levers, press buttons and hit switches across a room, which makes it useful for simple contraptions. Items that are thrown fly over whatever they meet and return to the player, so the thrower can reach distant targets without walking to them. Assorted Boomerangs requires Assorted Lib and Fabric API, and it is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
The mod runs on both sides: the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, both for 26.2, and the license terms apply to the code.

What the author says
Throw a boomerang and it flies out, hits whatever gets in its way and comes right back to you. Anything it flies over on the way gets carried back too. These are in the assortedboomerangs-common config file.
