About this Mod

The "Shoving" Mechanic:

Shoving Shovels turns shovels into proper weapons by giving them the ability to SHOVE mobs!

Not only do shovels deal increased knockback in the direction you're facing.... but the enemy you've hit will damage others in its path!

Try to gather your enemies in a line.... then shove them all like you're going bowling!

Use of a shovel to push a husk into a group of other husks, dealing damage to many at once.

Custom Enchantments:

Rowdy: Increases the amount of damage your shoving deals.

Wallbash: Shoving an enemy into a wall applies weakness and slowness.

For 1.21+, this effect also creates a small, damageless explosion, which can be useful for boosting yourself over a wall quickly!

Upheaval: Landing a critical hit on an enemy will launch them UPWARDS instead of forwards, which you can use to get some extra distance when shoving!

Configuration:

The strength of knockback applied by shovels is configurable.

You may also change the shoving damage of individual shovels, so if you want something like gold shovels being especially good at it, go ahead!

When the config is first created, a list of all modded shovels within your mudpack will be automatically created so that you only need to worry about changing the numbers!

Special Thanks:

Thank you Nekomaster1000, Cubic and others from the Infernal Studios Discord for valuable feedback!
