firechargelauncher

The launcher turns ordinary fire charges into projectiles. A normal shot fires one charge at a time. Quick-fire mode releases rapid attacks for close fights. A charged shot is built by holding the use button, producing a stronger explosive blast with more damage and a faster flight. Charged shots travel at 100 blocks per second, and projectiles fly straight, without the gravity drop that normally bends a throw.

The launcher also selects its ammunition on its own. Smart Priority reads what is in the offhand and chooses the matching projectile, so players do not need to switch items by hand. Pointed dripstone works as a high-damage physical projectile, dealing 10 damage against 4 to 8 for fire charges. The mod targets the Adventure and Magic categories and runs on Fabric for 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 1.0.1 for 1.21.11 as the latest file.

Installation needs only Fabric. The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are released under Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, which makes the code not open source.
