About this Mod
Description
Allows you to use the End Crystal's explosion as a melee attack, dealing around 10 hearts of damage.
Functions like a sword, but:
- Same cooldown as a mace, and does not allow an attack if not fully charged, meaning aim is necessary (you have to draw it back enough to make it explode, also makes it balanced)
- Deals explosion damage instead of regular damage, meaning it is affected by blast protection
- Made only stackable to one to allow explosion sound and removing one item on use
- Still placeable on obsidian, don't use it to break the crystal because of its cooldown + the other crystal won't explode if hit because crystals delete nearby crystals when they explode

26.1 and 26.1.1 aren't tested but use the same pack format so I'm assuming they work
