Description
⛏️🪃 Pickarang
🔶 Standalone port — No Quark required!
A throwable boomerang-pickaxe that mines blocks at range, collects the drops, and returns to your hand!
🎯 What is Pickarang?
The Pickarang is a diamond-tier tool that combines a pickaxe with a boomerang. Right-click to throw it — it flies forward, breaks the first block it hits, picks up all nearby items, and returns everything straight to your inventory.
No more walking to every block you mine. Just throw, catch, repeat.
✨ Features
- 🪃 Throw & Return — Flies out, hits a block, and comes right back
- ⛏️ Mines Blocks — Breaks blocks just like a pickaxe would
- 📦 Collects Items — Picks up all dropped items on the way back
- ✨ Collects XP — Experience orbs are grabbed too
- 🔧 800 Durability — Built to last, repairable at an anvil
- ⚔️ 3 Attack Damage — Works as a melee weapon in a pinch
- 🎯 Returns to Original Slot — Always comes back exactly where it was
