• Boomerangs can no longer hurt your mount

  • Can be burned into a dead bush if the boomerang is on fire

• Leaf Litter

Boomerangs can now be repaired with planks

• Boomerangs can now be thrown properly underwater at half speed

• Boomerangs now break seagrass and kelp

Boomerangs can now break after 6 years of not being able to do so

• They now break the second you attempt to throw them with 1 durability, rather than simply not being able to throw them

Boomerangs can now break paintings, armor stands, item frames, leash knots, minecarts, boats, and end crystals

You can no longer craft boomerangs upside down. This was kinda dumb and it looks even worse when shown in the new recipe book

Boomerangs can now break scaffolding

You can now catch boomerang projectiles on fire using lava, fire, or campfires

If a boomerang that is on fire breaks a potato, chorus plant, or cactus, the result will be smelted

Boomerangs on fire will also set mobs on fire (not players, since Mojang is stinky)

Boomerangs now respect the projectilesCanBreakBlocks gamerule

• If this gamerule is set to false, they will simply bounce off solid blocks they would previously break

Boomerang animation has been made much smoother (Thanks, Elli.)

The boomerang can now be crafted upside-down as well as rightside-up

Boomerangs break decorated pots into sherds, and break pink petals

Boomerangs now break pumpkins and melons, rather than pumpkin and melon stems

The boomerang has been updated to use /damage and display entities, causing the following changes:

• Boomerangs now spin more smoothly
• Boomerangs can now be thrown at more extreme angles
• Boomerangs now deal a small amount of knockback
• Projectile protection now protects you from boomerangs

Added the following new sounds:

• Sound for hitting a wall and bouncing back
• Sound for hitting other players
• Sound for throwing the boomerang
• Sound for breaking on a wall on the way back

The cooldown timer resets when your boomerang breaks on a wall when on the way back to you

Boomerangs can now break cobwebs, fully grown mangrove propagules, and chest boats

You can no longer throw multiple boomerangs at once

• This was massively overpowered, and could get laggy.
• Now, there’s a 6 second cooldown before you can throw another boomerang. This cooldown is removed if you catch a boomerang.

No longer drop an item if broken and thrower player was in creative mode

Now harvests crops more efficiently and harvests more crops

• Hitting bamboo causes the bamboo to be harvested completely and replaced with a bamboo sapling
• Hitting sugar cane causes all sugar cane except the bottom one to be harvested
• Only full-grown versions of crops will be harvested
• Now harvests sweet berries
• Now harvests pumpkin and melon stems
• Now harvests nether wart

Now breaks flower pots

No longer drops too many seeds when breaking crop blocks

No longer has nonsensical interactions

• Does not sink into sand
• Does not sink into ice
• Does not sink into honey

Can now harvest crops it flies through, replacing them with seeds instead.

• This item is now acting as the replacement to the now-removed obsidian scythe
• It also can break sugar cane, dripstone, and other various blocks

Has been heavily optimized

Now comes back to the slot you threw it from

• It does this rather aggressively. It will throw out any items that happen to steal its place onto the ground.
