About this Mod

Paint Gun Mod requires PortalMod and adds 3 new items: the paint gun, the propulsion gel ball, and the repulsion gel ball.

The default paint gun model is made by LeVraiRayan.

Paint Gun.

The paint gun shoots repulsion gel by left-click and propulsion gel by right-click. If you put the paint gun in the center of the crafting table and place the wrench (from PortalMod) on the left, the repulsion gel ability will toggle. Similarly, if you put the wrench on the right, the propulsion ability will change. The paint gun itself is crafted this way:

Repulsion Gel Ball and Propulsion Gel Ball

The balls work similarly to snowballs. Unlike snowballs, when colliding with the surface, it places a stain with gel. The stain is in 5-block-plus form by default. However, the form can be changed by the gelBallPaintedArea gamerule. If the gamerule's value is 1, the form will be a 9-block square. Any other value gives the plus-like form. The balls can be shot by a dispenser. They are crafted by combining the gel container (from Portal Mod) and the snowball in any position. doEraseGelBallsByFizzlers gamerule is false by default. If it is true, the gel balls are erased by fizzlers.
