launch command
by shimik
launch command adds a server command that changes the motion of entities, including players, in a single step.
What it does
The command sets the motion of one or several selected targets, covering living and non-living entities alike. It replaces the vanilla approach of editing entity motion through data tags, and it removes the single-target limit of that method. The mod runs on the server side only, so players join without installing it. Fabric API is required, and the mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge across 16 release versions, 1.21.1 – 26.3, under the MIT License and open source.
Key features
Motion for players and entities
The command changes the motion of players as well as non-living entities such as items or vehicles.
Multiple targets in one command
A single command can select and move many targets at once, instead of one entity per edit.
Replaces data-tag editing
Entity motion no longer has to be changed through vanilla data modification, which allows players to be targeted too.

What the author says
In Vanilla Minecraft the main way to modify entity motion is with /data, and you are not allowed to modify player data. This mod is here to remove this limit with 1 singular command!
