Coal Launcher
by CaptainEnder
Coal Launcher is a Forge weapon for 1.20.1 that fires burning coals as a short-ranged projectile at enemies.
What it does
The launcher shoots burning coals, which set the entities they hit on fire and deal a small amount of damage on impact. Burning coals are the launcher's ammunition, so a supply has to be kept on hand to use it.
The weapon is crafted from one iron bar, three iron ingots and an iron nugget. Coal Launcher runs on client and server: the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

How it compares
Coal Launcher is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that runs on client and server and is released under All rights reserved. Ender Pearl Launcher is also a Forge mod for 1.20.1 with client and server installs, under All rights reserved, and it launches ender pearls rather than coal. Coal tools is a Forge mod for 1.12.2 that is server-side only and also under All rights reserved, so it does not share the 1.20.1 range or the client-and-server requirement.
