Sling As An Early Game Ranged Option

Crafted with two sticks and some leather, a sling would function as a good early-game way to fend off ranged foes. Unlike bows and crossbows that require costly arrows, this weapon flings a single cobblestone block when used. It deals the same knock-back as an arrow, but can't fire as far and hits for half the damage.

While the weapon can be charged like a bow to fire further, simply clicking will allow the player to quickly lob a stone at about the speed of a fishing rod's reel.

A flung block uses its "dropped" sprite.
