Nether Blaster

The Nether Blaster is a weapon from the Santa's Toys mod. It has an infinite durability, and is used to shoot projectile nether stars at targets. The Nether Blaster will only work if there is at least one nether star in the user's inventory. The star will never be consumed. It is an upgraded version of the Ender Blaster.

It will deal 5 damage, or 2.5 hearts of damage to all entities except for Wither Bosses. Withers will take an extra 5 damage, meaning it will take 5 hearts of damage, or 10 damage points. Additionally, on impact with an entity or block, the nether star will create a minor explosion, about 40% smaller than a Creeper explosion. Disabling the mobGriefing gamerule will not prevent this.

The nether star that is shot will never fall due to gravity; the only way for it to disappear would be to collide or reach an unloaded chunk.

The Nether Blaster was made as a suggestion by trajing on IRC.
