How to Craft a Launcher Prototype

Gather the Base Materials

The Launcher Prototype is the entry point for every hook launcher in the mod. It is produced through a crafting_shaped recipe. Before you can build any of the three specialized launchers — Pudge Hook Launcher, Spear Hook Launcher, or Web Hook Launcher — you need at least one Launcher Prototype in your inventory.

Place the required ingredients into a crafting table in the shaped pattern the recipe calls for. Shaped recipes in Minecraft require the ingredients to sit in specific slots, so arrange them exactly as shown in the recipe viewer or recipe book. Once the grid matches, drag the resulting Launcher Prototype into your inventory.

Plan Your Launcher Line

Because all three launchers depend on the Launcher Prototype, decide early which hook you want. Each launcher pairs with its own hook item:

• Pudge Hook Launcher uses Pudge Hook
• Spear Hook Launcher uses Spear Hook
• Web Hook Launcher uses Web Hook

Craft the Launcher Prototype first, then craft the matching hook. Keeping a spare Launcher Prototype lets you switch between launcher types without re-gathering the base materials. Store prototypes in a chest near your crafting area so you can quickly assemble a new launcher when you change playstyle.
