Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Forge only.

Minecraft 1.18.1

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

1.16.5 BACKPORT IS COMING

Boomshot is a mod that adds 2 special cannons to the game that pack a serious punch, as you'll definitely see as using them send you back flying in the exact opposite direction you're looking. While useful for traversing complex terrain like caves, they are also great for fighting, since they allow you to create a powerful shockwave when you land. Just remember to beware of the fall!

Planned Features:

-Enchantments! New enchantments so that you can really customize your boomshot to your liking

-Bayonets! Attach swords onto the end of your cannon to really pack a punch, but you'll have to sacrifice some speed

Possible Features:

-Dual-Wielding? You could put a boomshot in your main hand and off hand to send you flying, but your cooldown would be twice as long

Any suggestions? Feel free to tell us them, but keep in mind this is supposed to be a light mod, so any suggestion should aim to keep it that way.
