About this Mod

Adds a less-than-useless enchantment (curse) that replaces the use action with a twirl!
I'll try spinning! That's a good trick!
Any twirling-enchanted item can be used to visually spin around!
This prevents utilizing the usual use for an item, like drawing a bow or tilling soil.
Books can be enchanted with twirling at a crafting table using feathers, wind charges, or breeze rods.
Datapacking
Item-specific behaviour can be altered with these item tags:
#twirl:keep_use- allows the original item'suse()to run.#twirl:keep_tick- allows the original item'susageTick()to run.#twirl:keep_finish- allows the original item'sonStoppedUsing()to run.#twirl:keep_action- preserves the original item'sgetUseAction()result.#twirl:rotate_z- spin in the other sensible axes instead.
