Marksman
Marksman lets players throw coins at targets with a coinshot, and the server decides which target a coin locks onto.
What it does
Coins are thrown as projectiles. A coin that is thrown and misses can be picked up again, and any item registered with the marksman:coin tag counts as a coin. Targets are chosen from a priority order: the current target mob, the last entity attacked, the last entity hit, and then the nearest entity within 64 blocks that has a clear line of sight to the coin. Other coins within 16 blocks can also be used for a shot.
Coins can ricochet off a hit target and strike a nearby one with increased velocity and damage. Arrows and tridents deal extra damage when they are used as projectiles, since only projectiles that extend PersistentProjectileEntity are affected. Modded projectiles that respect projectile deflection also work with Marksman. Because Minecraft physics makes ricochets less than fully accurate, a shot can occasionally miss.
Marksman is required on the server and optional on the client, and Fabric API is required. The mod is published for Fabric and Quilt under the MIT License, with the latest Fabric file at 1.3.1 and the latest Quilt file at 1.2.2, both for 1.21.1. Its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Coinshots
Throwing a coin fires a coinshot that picks a target from the priority order and aims at it.
Ricochets
A coin that hits a target can bounce to a nearby enemy, with more velocity and damage on each bounce.
Player-versus-player shots
A player can shoot an opponent's coins in flight if the reaction is quick enough.
Extra item types
Items added to the marksman:coin tag are treated as coins, so modded items can join the system.

This mod adds coinshots from ULTRAKILL. To perform a coinshot, throw a coin item into the air and shoot a projectile at it (if no mods adding coins are present, use emerald or nugget).
