Yoyos Mod (1.21.1, 1.20.1) – Keep Your Enemies at Bay

Yoyos Mod adds the classic children’s toy to Minecraft as a new type of weapon. To use a yoyo, right-click to throw it. The yoyo will follow where you look and damage any mob it touches. Right-click again to pull it back. If you move too far away, the mod will pull you towards the yoyo.

Features:

• Use yoyos as weapons that can be thrown and retrieved.
• Craft yoyos from various materials like wood and diamond. Better materials increase damage and how far you can throw it.
• Yoyos can be enchanted with standard weapon enchantments like Sharpness and Looting.
• A special “Collecting” enchantment allows the yoyo to pick up items from the ground.

Special Yoyos

• Shear Yoyo: Cuts grass, leaves, and can shear sheep without harming them.
• Yohoe: Harvests crops, replants them, and tills soil it passes over.
• Sticky Yoyo: Attaches to blocks, letting you pull yourself towards it.

Tinkers’ Construct Integration

• Build custom yoyos in the Tool Forge using different parts for the axle, bodies, and cord.
• Each part changes the yoyo’s stats, such as damage, speed, and durability.
• Apply special modifiers like Extension for a longer cord or Gluey to make it stick to surfaces.

Botania Integration

• Craft yoyos with materials from the Botania mod, each with unique abilities.
• The Manasteel Yoyo acts like a shear yoyo.
• The Elementium Yoyo can collect items without needing an enchantment.
• The Terra Chaser uses mana to automatically seek out and attack enemies.

How to Use:

1. Hold a yoyo and right-click to throw it.
2. While it is out, the yoyo will follow your cursor and hit any mobs in its path.
3. Right-click again to pull the yoyo back to you.
4. If you get too far away from a thrown yoyo, you will be pulled towards it.

Crafting Recipes:

Yoyos need 4 of the desired material, a stick, and a chord to craft a yoyo.

The cords are crafted with 8 string in a circle.

The Shear Yoyo

By combining an iron yoyo with shears, you can give the functionality of shears to your toy-weapon. It allows for the yoyo to cut grass and flowers and plants and stuff and to shear sheep and mooshroom without damaging them

The Yohoe

If putting shears on a yoyo made it work like shears, there’s no reason putting a hoe on it wouldn’t work, right? The Yohoe can harvest crops and replant them, while also tilling any soil that passes underneath it.

The Sticky Yoyo

At the cost of damage, you can combine a diamond yoyo with some sticky slimeballs to allow your toy to stick to blocks. Could be useful for getting around, considering you can pull yourself in towards the yoyo once it’s stuck.

Enchanting

Yoyos can be enchanted just like any weapon. They can have Sharpness, Looting, Unbreaking, etc.
In addition to the vanilla enchantments, yoyos can be enchanted with collecting. Collecting allows yoyos to pick up items, and the number of items it can pick up depends on the level of the enchantment.

Tinkers’

Yoyos and You

There is an in-game guide book for everything tinkers’ yoyos. It has information about all of the modifiers, as well as stats for every material you can use to craft your yoyos.
If you want to have a read, you just need to combine your trusty Materials and You with a yoyo cord.

Building the yoyo

• The yoyo is made in the tool forge using an axle, two bodies, and a cord.
• The different parts are crafted as usual in a part builder or by casting.

Parts

• The cord determines how far away from you the yoyo gets.
• The bodies determine the damage and movement speed.
• The axle has a durability multiplier.
• Both the cord and axle have friction, which determines how long the yoyo can stay out.

Modifiers

• Shear
• Gives the behavior of the shear yoyo to any tinkers’ yoyo.
• Applied with shears.
• Farming
• Gives the behavior of the yohoe to any tinkers’ yoyo.
• Applied with a diamond hoe.
• Extension
• Each level lengthens the yoyo’s cord by 2 blocks.
• Requires 16 string per level.
• Can be applied with string.
• Can be applied with a Cord, counting as 8 string.
• Floating
• Makes the yoyo lighter, allowing it to move faster.
• Applied with a pufferfish.
• Lubricated
• Allows the yoyo to spin for longer, increasing it’s duration.
• Applied with an inksack.
• Gluey
• At the cost of damage, allows your yoyo to stick to blocks
• Allows you to reel yourself in
• Applied with two slimeballs

Botania

Yoyos can be made with materials from Botania, and have abilities appropriate for each tier.

First, of course, you need to make some cord out of manastring.

The Manasteel Yoyo

Behaves similarly to a shear yoyo, cutting down shrubs and leaves and such.

The Elementium Yoyo

It can inherently collect items, equivalent to a yoyo with Collecting I. Any further enchantment increases the item limit.

The Terra Chaser

With a whistle and the swing of your fist, it will seek out an enemy and attack it. The Terra Chaser needs mana to do so, however.

It can also be combined with an elementium yoyo to give the Terra Chaser the ability to collect items.
