An early-game ranged weapon craftable before the Tool Forge.

• Made with two knife blades and a clasp.
• Right-click to charge, release to throw.
• Automatically returns after impact.
• Each Boomerang is tracked independently—use multiple at once.

🔪 Throwing Knife

A mid-range throwing weapon inspired by the original Tinkers' Construct from the 1.7.10 era.

• Made with a knife blade, arrow shaft, and grip.
• Right-click to charge and throw a single knife.
• Sneak + right-click charges longer to fan out three knives.
• Knives can be picked up after impact to recover ammunition.

🔫 Heat Ray Gun

A high‑tech energy weapon that fires devastating heat rays.

• Made with a tough tool rod, large plate, fuel tank, and heat ray emitter.
• Right-click to charge, automatically fires after full charge.
• Consumes fuel (any burnable item) per shot; fuel capacity and efficiency depend on the Fuel Tank material.
• Overheats after continuous fire; cooldown scales with Heat Capacity.
• Supports materials:
  • Fuel Tank: Brick, Nether Brick, Iron, Stone, Cobalt.
  • Heat Ray Emitter: Iron, Stone, Cobalt (Stone parts are only useful for casting molds).

⛓️ Chain Blade

A group-fighting weapon that bounces between enemies, building momentum for a devastating sweep.

• Made with a tool rod, arrow head, and chain.
• Right-click to charge, release to throw. Bounces up to 6 times between nearby enemies.
• Sneak + right-click to perform a sweeping melee attack (60° arc, 3.5 block radius).
• Each hit builds Charge (max 30). At 10+ Charge, Sweep deals 2× damage and covers a wider area (120° arc, 4.0 block radius).
• The Chain material determines bounce count, bounce range, ammo bonus, and speed rate (charge/sweep cooldown).
• Supports Chain materials: Iron, Cobalt, Stone, Nether Quartz, Slimeball, Blue Slimeball, Redstone.

🗡 Pistol Sword

A hybrid weapon that gathers bullets in melee and fires them at range.

• Made with a tool rod, sword blade, and gun barrel.
• Left-click to slash. Hits gather ammo based on the target's type, and each round has its own effect when fired.
• Right-click to fire the current round (12-block range).
• Rounds are stored as a stack—the front round is always the next to fire.
• Firing a round enhances your next melee hit with a small burst; special rounds also add poison or bonus piercing damage.
