Getting Started with the Slingshot

The slingshot is your primary ranged weapon in this mod. Once you have one in your inventory, equip it like any other tool or weapon.

Loading and Firing

To use the slingshot:

1. Load ammunition: Place any item you want to shoot in your off-hand slot. The slingshot will prioritize off-hand items first, then fall back to your hotbar if needed.

2. Aim: Look at your target and hold down the attack button to pull back the slingshot.

3. Release: Release the button to fire. The item will launch toward where you're aiming.

4. Retrieve: If your shot misses, the item drops on the ground unless you have the Boomerang enchantment active.

What You Can Shoot

Almost any item works as ammunition—blocks, tools, materials, even food. Mining tools like pickaxes and shovels will break blocks on impact when they hit a surface. Blaze rods ignite fires at their landing spot, making them useful for controlled burning or combat.

Experiment with different items to discover new tactical possibilities and building techniques.
