Yoyos Mod

Gameplay

In this mod, the yoyo transforms from a children's toy into a powerful weapon. To use a yoyo, simply right-click - it will fly in the direction you're looking. While the yoyo is in flight, it deals damage to any creatures it touches. To retrieve it, right-click again.

If you move too far away from a launched yoyo, it will start pulling you toward it, which can be useful for traversing terrain.

Crafting Yoyos

To create a basic yoyo, you'll need 4 units of the chosen material, one stick, and a special cord.

The yoyo cord is crafted from 8 units of regular string arranged in a circle on the crafting table.

Special Yoyo Types

Shear Yoyo

By combining an iron yoyo with shears, you get a tool that can cut grass, flowers, and other plants, as well as shear sheep and mooshrooms without harming them.

Yohoe

If shears turn a yoyo into a cutting tool, then a hoe turns it into an agricultural one. The Yohoe can harvest crops and immediately replant them, while also tilling the soil beneath it.

Sticky Yoyo

By sacrificing some damage, you can create a sticky yoyo by combining a diamond yoyo with slimeballs. This yoyo sticks to blocks, allowing you to use it for movement - you can pull yourself toward the anchored yoyo or push away from it.

Enchanting

Yoyos can be enchanted like regular weapons - with Sharpness, Looting, Unbreaking, and other standard enchantments.

Additionally, there's a special "Collecting" enchantment that allows yoyos to pick up items. The number of items collected depends on the enchantment level.

Tinkers' Construct Integration

Yoyo Guide

The mod includes an in-game guidebook for creating yoyos in the Tinkers' style. It contains information about all modifiers and characteristics of each material.

To create this book, combine the "Materials and You" book with a yoyo cord.

Building the Yoyo

The yoyo is created in the tool forge from an axle, two bodies, and a cord.

Various parts are created in the usual way in the part builder or by casting.

Part Characteristics

The cord determines the maximum distance the yoyo can travel.

The bodies affect damage and movement speed.

The axle multiplies the tool's durability.

Both the cord and axle have a friction parameter that determines how long the yoyo can stay in flight.

Modifiers

• Shear - gives the yoyo the properties of a shear yoyo. Applied with shears.
• Farming - gives the yoyo the properties of a yohoe. Applied with a diamond hoe.
• Extension - each level increases the cord length by 2 blocks. Requires 16 string per level. Can be applied with string or a special yoyo cord (equivalent to 8 string).
• Floating - makes the yoyo lighter, allowing it to move faster. Applied with a pufferfish.
• Lubricated - allows the yoyo to spin longer, increasing flight time. Applied with an ink sac.
• Gluey - at the cost of reduced damage, allows the yoyo to stick to blocks and pull you toward it. Applied with two slimeballs.

Botania Integration

Yoyos can be created from Botania materials, with each tier having its unique abilities.

First, you need to create a special cord from manastring.

Manasteel Yoyo

Behaves similarly to a shear yoyo, cutting down bushes, leaves, and other vegetation.

Elementium Yoyo

Can collect items by default, equivalent to the Collecting I enchantment. Additional enchantment levels increase the item limit.

Terra Chaser

With a whistle and a swing of your hand, this yoyo independently finds enemies and attacks them. However, it requires mana to function.

It can be combined with an elementium yoyo so that the Terra Chaser can also collect items.
