Simply Slingshot
by Patbox
With Simply Slingshot, a slingshot can carry several enchantments at once, letting it act as a weapon and a tool on a Fabric server.
What it does
The mod adds a slingshot that shoots items instead of arrows. Shot items can damage entities, place or break blocks, and be thrown a long distance. Several enchantments can sit on one slingshot, and the slingshot prefers items from the hotbar when it picks ammunition. Damage output is limited to a range, and some selected items carry special effects, such as mining tools breaking blocks or Blaze Rods igniting fire where they land.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, while the server needs the Polymer library to run it. Files are published for Fabric, for versions 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, and snapshot builds are published too. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.
Key features
Enchantable slingshot
The slingshot takes several enchantments at the same time, so it can be shaped into a weapon or a tool.
Block placer and item sender
Block items can be shot so they place themselves, and other items fly further while losing their effects on entities.
Projectile bounce
Projectiles can bounce off blocks, with a bounce level that allows one bounce up to a maximum of five.
Tool user and trajectory preview
Axes and shovels can apply their actions to blocks and entities, and a trajectory preview shows the likely path of a projectile.
Quick charge
Quick Charge shortens the time needed to load the slingshot, and works alongside Same Crossbows.
