This mod adds Atlatls, which are ranged weapons that let you spam arrows like how you used to in Beta 1.7.
An atlatl is an ancient piece of equipment which was used to launch darts, arrows and small spears by hand.

Crafting:
Usage and Mechanics:
-Right click to shoot arrows.
-The atlatl uses the attack cooldown meter of the player like melee weapons do. This means that using it in your offhand might have some weird side effects (that will get fixed eventually)
-Depending on how full the attack meter is, it determines the accuracy and distance travelled by your arrows. This means spamming it lets you shoot a lot of arrows at the cost of range and accuracy.
-Using the atlatl drains hunger.
-Sprinting will cause the user to shoot a crit arrow, but drains a lot of hunger and as well as reseting your sprint.
-Do note that the damage of the atlatl, is a lot lower than both bows and crossbows to accomodate for the fact that it is spammable and does not slow you down.
Enchanting:
-Atlatls can receive both bow and crossbow enchantments.
