Launcher Prototype
Base for launchers.
Pudge Hook Launcher
Its pull is strong, and is good for fighting against projectile enemies like Skeletons, if you are missing arrows or like to fight with melee weapons. It is also good against flying mobs like Cacodemons - though be careful, as you could be pulled into the air.
When you are closer than 5 blocks to the enemy, it does 2-4 points of damage, scaling higher the closer you are.
The Pudge Hook Launcher's properties (taken from the original mod page):
- hooks entities and players
- dismounts riding entities
- auto-pulling
- medium distance
- high hook strength
- high fire resistance
Spear Hook Launcher
As the name says, it has a spear that deals 2 points of damage at any range[source?]. It can hook blocks, pull entities, and break glass and leaves. Its pulling strength is weaker than the Pudge Hook, and so it usually doesn't pull you towards the enemy instead.
Spear Hook Launcher properties:
- long distance
- medium rope elasticity
- medium fire resistance
- makes damage to entities on hit
- can be used for climbing
Web Hook Launcher
The Web Hook Launcher is very useful for climbing, exploring, or swinging trough the neighborhood. Due to its elasticity, it can be used to propel yourself out of a ravine. You could also use it to pull a mob without hurting it, similar to a lead.
It doesn't stick to sand, so the Spear Hook would be more useful in deserts and such.
Web Hook Launcher properties (from original page):
- sticks to any surface (except sand)
- long distance
- high rope elasticity
- low fire resistance
- useful for climbing and jumping (running) off a cliff
- safe for other players (makes no damage)
