About this Mod
The mod adds a shotgun that catapults the player in the direction opposite of shooting.
It doesn't do much damage to enemies, but works without ammunition.
Currently only for Minecraft 1.19.4 with forge.
I'm not planning on adding a fabric version, this may change once I have learned how to use the Architectury API.
Crafting Recipe:
The amount of shots you have, before needing to reload, is shown by white dots in the center of the screen and by the durability of the shotgun.
Reloading is bound to the R key by default and can be changed in the controls.
