The Slingshot Parable

At minimal, read the bold, important stuff.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Hello, all you wonderful people! Today I have for you something very special: Slingshots! Before we get into it...

KNOWN BUGS:

-The inventory texture of the armor is the error purple/black squares. Hmm... The armor itself looks fine on the player though :D

-The Wither effect icon doesn't go away from after you get shot by the glass slingshot. It doesn't affect you anymore, but it still says it does. This might be an MCreator issue, not a mod issue.

IMPORTANT INFO / ANNOUNCEMENTS:

-THERE ARE SCREENSHOTS OF RECIPES AND METHODS AT THE FOLLOWING URL(s): (imgur isn't letting me put one pic at a time in here, so...)

(not much added in 1.3, so no pictures)

-There will be more slingshots to come, with more power, more range, different ammo and more difficulty to obtain! Don't worry.

-I do take recommendations! Most of the time. Don't make them inappropriate, but other than that no idea is a bad idea. I will respond to your comment if I decide to incorporate your idea into the mod and give you credit inside the mod with your MCreator username! Keep those ideas flowing!

-I would highly appreciate a mod showcase/review video. Let me know if you're interested in doing that!

CHANGELOG

v1.0.0: Official Release: Wooden Slingshot, Stone Slingshot, Quantum Slingshot (and appropriate ammos/materials) introduced

v1.1.0: Iron Slingshot, Gold Slingshot, Diamond Slingshot, Glass Slingshot (and appropriate ammos/materials) introduced

v1.1.1: Bugfix: Rubber Leaves now transparent

v1.2: Cobalt and Tungsten introduced, along with their armor, tools and of course slingshots

v1.3: Uranium and its slingshot/ammo introduced

And without further ado...

RUBBER BIOME

Every slingshot starts out as a frame and a rubber band. Minecraft has the materials for a frame, but what about rubber? I give you the Rubber Biome! In real life, rubber comes from the sap of a certain kind of tree. In Minecraft, it does too! Once you find a Rubber Biome (characterized by ridiculously tall trees with few leaves at the top, I mean in real life apparently the trees get about 30m in height, so for us Americans that's like 97 feet and some change), just right click one of the tree trunks with a bowl and voila! Tree sap. Well, 1/5 of the time, anyway. Some days trees just don't feel fruitful, ok?

By the way, it turns out wood from rubber trees is soft and super useless, so you can make planks but anything else would break so fast that it wasn't worth putting in the mod. Have fun without rubberwood tools and sticks. You can do it! I believe in you!

RUBBER

Once you have the good ol' bowl of good ol' sap, cook it up in a furnace for one piece of rubber. Yay!

NEW ORES

Hey, guess what? You ever heard of a thing called Tungsten? No? Ok... Thought I was being sciencey and cool... Anyway, you can now find Tungsten Ore! As usual, you mine it and then smelt it to get Tungsten Ingots. Along with that is every armor and tool (and sword) that would come with a new ore! It's a little better than iron and a little worse than gold (other than durability, gold gets trumped in that respect by everything).

There's also Cobalt Ore now, and its appropriate ingots, armor, tools and sword! All the crafting recipes for vanilla items made of the new ores are exactly the same. 

Uranium-235 Ore is a thing now. You get Uranium-235 Nuggets when you mine it. However, it's not stable enough for armor and would cause too much radiation damage as a tool or block, but a slingshot is small enough that it won't do much to you. ;)

SLINGSHOT BASES

All frames are in the same basic shape in the crafting table unless otherwise stated: one [material] in each of the top two corners, one in the center and one in the bottom middle. It should look like a capital Y. If there is any confusion, check the link(s) above for screenshots of crafting recipes and methods.

-Wooden Slingshot Base: Use [sticks]. Whoda thunk?

-Stone Slingshot Base: Use [stone rods], which are crafted with 3 cobblestone in a vertical line in the crafting table.

-Iron Slingshot Base: Use [iron rods], which are crafted the same way as cobblestone rods but with iron ingots.

-Gold Slingshot Base: Use [gold rods], which are crafted the same way as cobblestone rods but with gold ingots.

-Diamond Slingshot Base: Use [gold rods], which are crafted the same way as cobblestone rods but with diamonds.

-Glass Slingshot Base: Use [glass rods], which are crafted the same way as cobblestone rods but with glass.

-Obsidian Slingshot Base: Use [obsidian rods], which are crafted the same way as cobblestone rods but with obsidian.

-Tungsten Slingshot Base: Use [tungsten rods], which are crafted the same way as cobblestone rods but with tungsten ingots.

-Cobalt Slingshot Base: Use [cobalt rods], which are crafted the same way as cobblestone rods but with cobalt ingots.

-Unstable Uranium-234 Slingshot Base: Use [unstable uranium-234 rods]. These are crafted by smelting [uranium-235 rods], which are made the same way as cobblestone rods but with uranium nuggets.

SLINGSHOTS

-Wooden Slingshot: Shapeless recipe. One Wooden Slingshot Base and three Rubber.

-Stone Slingshot: Shapeless recipe. One Stone Slingshot Base and three Rubber.

-Iron Slingshot: Shapeless recipe. One Iron Slingshot Base and three Rubber.

-Quantum Slingshot: One Obsidian Slingshot Base in the center of the crafting table, an ender pearl on the left and right of it, a slime ball on top and a blaze powder beneath. Nothing in the corners. Shoots REAAAAAAAALLY FAR. Like really far. Seriously.

-Unstable Uranium-234 Slingshot: Shapeless recipe. One Unstable Uranium-234 Slingshot Base and three Rubber.

Again, any confusion can be consulted through the link(s) above.

AMMO

-Pebble: Shapeless recipe. One Cobblestone equals nine Pebbles, but it doesn't work in reverse so be careful! Ammo for: Wooden Slingshot, Stone Slingshot, Iron Slingshot, Gold Slingshot, Diamond Slingshot, Tungsten Slingshot, Cobalt Slingshot; Special Effects: None.

-Glass Shard: Shapeless recipe. One Glass equals nine Glass Shards, but it doesn't work in reverse so be careful! Ammo for: Glass Slingshot; Special Effects: A short period of low-level Wither effect is inflicted on any player it hits (cuz glass hurts for a while after you get cut by it).

-Quantum Pearl: To start, put an Ender Pearl in the center of a crafting table. Put blaze powder in all four corners and redstone in the remaining slots. That gives you one Stimulated Ender Pearl. Then, put the Stimulated Ender Pearl in the center of the crafting table. Put one Magma Cream in each corner and Lapis Lazuli in the remaining slots to get ONE (too much?) Quantum Pearl. Ammo for: Quantum Slingshot; Special Effects: Teleports you to the impact location, including if that is on top of an entity. Still does damage to the entity.

-Uranium-235 Nugget: Mined directly from Uranium-235 Ore.

Last chance to check the screenshots if you're confused. (Not really, but last warning I'm giving you.)
