What it does

Hitting a mob with the whacking stick sends it flying with heavy knockback, which is the mod's main joke. Whacking a mob also grants an advancement. The stick can be enchanted with Unbreaking and Mending, and Knockback enchantments increase the effect further. Builds cover 1.21.1 – 1.21.8 and require Fabric API on both Fabric and Quilt, with Mod Menu optional. Installation covers the server and each player's game. It is released under the MIT License and is open source.
