Boomerang

The boomerang is a fun weapon that bounces off walls, hits multiple enemies, and comes back to you!

It has 300 durability and accepts unbreaking, mending, and vanishing. It’s repaired with planks.

It also breaks any crops or plants it flies through, replanting seeds if possible. If it is caught on fire with lava, fire, or a campfire, it will smelt potatoes, bushes, cactus and chorus plants into their cooked results.

TODO: Add recipe description

The planks in this recipe can be of any wood, not just oak.
