Mineral Launcher

The Mineral Launcher is a craftable Hardmode ranged weapon. It uses either Stone Blocks or any Ore from vanilla Terraria as ammunition. On use, it launches the mineral chunk, which pierces through all enemies for a short distance, before breaking into 5 to 8 smaller chucks that deal a lesser amount of damage. Depending on the type of ore used the fired projectile may differ on damage, and some may additionally have unique effects.
