Highlights in this update:
-
Projectiles
You can now equip the stone shape. Soft materials will stick to the surface on impact and hard materials will destroy terrain on impact. All materials will hurt mobs and the damage is based on the material hardness. Throwing rocks in water creates a little water splash ːsteamhappyː I will add more projectile weapons later on. -
