Emberwave Boomerang

Quickstart

Craft an [Emberwave Boomerang]() or an [Earthwind Boomerang](), then use it (right-click) to throw it. No ammunition is needed: each boomerang flies out and returns to you automatically.

Try the Emberwave first: throws alternate between burning and freezing effects. The Earthwind alternates between knocking nearby creatures upward and slamming them downward. Each throw has a one-second cooldown.

Overview

Emberwave Boomerang adds two throwable weapons for hitting creatures and breaking blocks. Both can pass through multiple creatures on their way out, then turn back toward you.

What It Adds

How To Use

Use either boomerang to throw it in the direction you are facing. It returns to you after a short flight, or sooner if it hits a block it cannot break. Aim through groups of creatures to hit more than one on a throw.

Crafting And Obtaining

Both items are made in a crafting table. Each recipe produces one boomerang.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Emberwave: Its first throw burns hit creatures; the next freezes them, and throws continue alternating. Burning lasts four seconds. Freezing clears fire, stops the target’s movement, and applies strong Slowness for five seconds.
• Earthwind: Throws alternate between an upward blast and a ground slam. Each pulse pushes nearby living creatures within 4.5 blocks away from its impact point; the slam pushes them downward instead of upward. The pulse itself does not deal damage, but a direct hit does.
• Block breaking: Both boomerangs break eligible blocks and drop their usual drops. The Emberwave’s freezing throw can break slightly tougher blocks than its burning throw. Earthwind also creates a pulse when it hits a block, even if that block cannot be broken.

Progression And Strategy

There is no separate progression system. Choose Emberwave to set creatures on fire or briefly immobilize them; use Earthwind when you want to push nearby creatures up or slam them down. Aim carefully around valuable blocks, since eligible blocks in the flight path will be broken.
