The Whacking Stick

The whacking stick is a fun item that deals large amounts of knockback to mobs you whack. There is nothing more satisfying than sending a mob flying off a cliff, as shown in the image below. It's fast attack speed can be very useful in early-game situations such as being attacked by a creeper, or if you are being attacked by a swarm of mobs since it allows you to keep a good distance from them. The whacking stick also has customizable hit sounds that adds another level of enjoyability when using it.

Additional Features of the Whacking Stick

• If you install the Whacking Stick mod with Mod Menu, you get access to a configuration screen that allows you to customize the hit sound as well as the visiblity of the enchantment glint (by default, the hit sound is set to "Rocket Launch" and the enchantment glint is set to "Default")
• When you whack a mob with the whacking stick, you get an advancement
• The whacking stick is enchantable with unbreaking, mending, and knockback (to further increase the effect)
