Catapults

Obtaining

• Catapult spawners can be bought from the lobby shop for LOTR Mod coins.

• Rock loads (ammunition) can be crafted using 1 cobblestone in vanilla crafting.

• Catapults can also be obtained by mining any block of a spawned catapult.

Using

• Right-click the ground with a catapult spawner. Make sure you are facing in the direction you want the catapult to face.

• There must be a completely level and clear 10x5 space, with at least 10 blocks of clearance in height.

• If there are any obstructions (including some plants), the catapult won't spawn.

• To load the catapult, right-click the 'spoon' with a rock load. Do not sneak.

• If you wish, you can light this rock load by right-clicking the spoon with flint and steel or a sulfur match.

• To launch the load, right-click the lever on the left side of the catapult.

• If you fire an unloaded catapult, any players, mobs and NPCs in the spoon will be fired instead.

Damage

• Upon hitting the ground, rocks will cause some splash damage to players, mobs and NPCs, and minor damage to blocks.

• Flaming rocks will additionally set surrounding NPCs, mobs and players on fire.

• No terrain damage will be dealt inside banner protection - however, splash and fire damage will still be dealt to players, mobs and NPCs.

Removing

• Catapults can be destroyed in four ways:

1. Explosion damage.

2. Being hit by another catapult.

3. If any block which makes up the catapult is mined, the catapult drops as an item.

4. Catapults have a durability of 64 shots, and self destruct after that.

Types

• There are three types of catapult; weak, moderate and strong.

• The different types have different ranges.
