About this Mod
🥔 Potato Cannon Mod
Weaponize your garden!
Tired of throwing away Poisonous Potatoes? Bored of the standard Bow and Crossbow? The Potato Cannon Mod introduces a high-quality, 3D-modeled launcher that turns your farm produce into heavy artillery. It fits perfectly into the vanilla style while adding a fun, explosive twist to combat.
✨ Features
Custom 3D Model: A realistic, "bazooka-style" launcher that looks great in first and third-person views.
