Bananarangs
by bonker
Bananarangs is a Forge equipment mod that adds a banana-shaped boomerang weapon with four upgrade types.
What it does
Bananarangs adds a throwable banana boomerang that players can upgrade through an anvil. Power, Flaming, Pickaxe, Explosive, Piercing and Fling upgrades each change how the weapon throws, hits or breaks blocks. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source, with Forge files for 1.16.5 – 1.20.1.
Key features
Modular upgrades
The boomerang takes several upgrades, each adding one effect to the throw.
Power and flaming
Power raises throwing strength by 40% per level across three tiers, and Flaming sets enemies on fire.
Pickaxe, explosive and piercing
A pickaxe upgrade breaks blocks, Explosive keeps the boomerang intact after impact, and Piercing passes through enemies while cutting armor effect in half.
