Bananarang
by qmw
Bananarang, a Fabric throwable item, turns a thrown banana into a boomerang that clears a curving path through the world on its way out and back.
What it does
Throwing the banana sends it along a circular arc roughly 15 blocks across. Breakable blocks it touches are destroyed, and any living thing along the path takes 5 hearts of damage. The banana always returns straight to the thrower's inventory, so the item is not lost after a throw.
The item is meant as a chaos toy. Because it removes everything on its path, including buildings a player spent hours on, the author advises using it with care. A block that survives the throw is reported as a bug on the project's issue tracker. The mod requires Fabric API, and it runs on client and server, so both sides need the mod installed. Files are published for Minecraft 26.1.2 Java Edition only, under the MIT License as open source, with the source code available publicly.
Key features
Curved boomerang flight
The banana follows a true boomerang path, looping through an arc about 15 blocks wide before flying back.
Terrain destruction
Every breakable block the banana touches is removed along its route, clearing whatever stands in the way.
Area damage to mobs and players
Anything alive along the path takes 5 hearts of damage, so the throw also works as a weapon.
Automatic return
The banana comes back straight to the inventory, so only one item is needed for repeated throws.

What the author says
Throw a banana. It comes back. Everything in its path does not. The Bananarang is a throwable banana that flies like a real boomerang — it carves a wide curving arc through the world, destroying every breakable block it touches, knocking the life out of anything alive along the way, and then sails right back into…
